When the Hammer Falls

Lumi arrived late - later than late! She'd gotten distracted chasing down a white hare through the tall trees. With the smattering of snow that still clung to the base of the enormous trunks, she'd quickly lost track of the quick little thing. Drat. She was really hoping to catch one before the snows came again and made them almost invisible. The pup liked the bright white fur and thought it might make for a rather striking accessory. Of course, she'd give the hare an honorable death, but she really wanted his little pelt. Grumbling to herself, Lumi trudged into the meeting and picked a spot a little way away from her father. She was still hurting over her missing mother but tried to occupy her time by studying as much of the local wildlife as she could. Meetings were boring. Everyone gathered around just made her think harder about the wolves who weren't present.
