Step by Step

Abby had found that her paws drew her to undiscovered places in her foraging, like an invisible string pulling her across the continent. So it wasn't particularly strange that she had traveled so far east. She didn't seek to leave her new home so soon however, the similarities to her old land were comforting and the people there were... fun.

What was truly strange was what she found in the dried lake. She could've easily dismissed it as the remains of an unfortunate mammal, but a better look revealed that it certainly wasn't dead. Her curiousity piqued, the mottled woman moved to investigate, and to her surprise she recognised the small creature as a pup. Her approach quickened significantly, instinctively worried for the child's safety, and concern increased with every step closer as more details of her current condition came into view. The small girl was visibly malnourished, which raised more questions. Where were her parents?

Better to ask the child then to assume, but she still made sure to howl a broadcast, in case Abby needed assistance or the child's parents were nearby. She sat next to the girl. "Are you okay? Where are your parents?" She queried gently, but the the feeling of urgency was audible in her voice.
