Summer Days, Drifting Away

Well, shit. She'd really stepped in it this time. Aerndis balanced precarious on a steep ridge with a mountain goat between her jaws. The creature seemed far heavier than it had any right to be but she wasn't going to let it go. Not a chance. She'd worked her tail off to catch the goat and add yet another hide to her collection, but the question was now how did she get to the base of the mountain in one piece. She was so close but one miscalculation had her in a situation. Aerndis carefully shifted her jaws to get a better hold. She still had yet to find Legion and a lone wolf had to eat. Either they both got down the mountain safely or both were going to be shiny new decorations for visitors.

She moved first one paw and then another. Going down was definitely worse than going up. She was making good and steady progress but just as she was getting close she slipped on the last leg and landed with a crash right into a pile of bushes. "Son of a giant hog's ass hair!" She stood up forcefully, bits of foliage clinging to her fur. When she turned her head she froze. Shit, shit, shit…. there were two other wolves not too far off. Had they witnessed that disaster? "Umm… hi."
