Still haven't found what I'm looking for

Large paws carried her nimbly between the pools of water as she examined them curiously, climbing up around the steaming hot springs as she continued her examination of the landscape. She was looking forward to the day that her children were large enough to take on these trips with her so she wouldn't have to be quite as concerned about getting back in a reasonable amount of time. Soon enough they would be old enough to at least carry with them since she and Alastor were both plenty large enough to handle letting their precious pups ride on their backs. That's likely what they would have to do so that she could go scouting out the northern pack she had been told about. Waiting till the pups were several seasons old to do anything of the sort wasn't acceptable in her mind. The sooner she was able to move on her plans the better.

She paused as she reached one of the larger pools in the hot spring, lingering at its edge for a moment. She sniffed cautiously at its surface and she could tell from the odd scent the water held that it probably wasn't safe to drink, but the warmth that radiated from it interested her. Her muscles were quite sore from how she had immediately thrown herself back into her training the moment the was physically able even though her body probably would have enjoyed a few more weeks of peace after Ava and Sara came into the world. Manea eased herself into the warm water with a purring hum, a little smile playing across her features as she lowered herself onto her haunches on a rocky ledge within the pool, the water nearly to her shoulders. It was certainly pleasant if nothing else!
