resupply mission

It wasn't long before another canine was visible. Like Mud, this stranger's pelt was comprised of browns and tans, which she found surprising. So many of the wolves who did not live in the swamp were blessed with unworldly colorations. Blue, purple, pink, with all sorts of contrast. Of course, some of her fennish cousins did sport greens in their coats, but that was because the fennish gods blessed them at birth. She was not sure if the landwolves had such gods.

Mud wasn't surprised to see a land wolf collecting herbs. She knew they too collected from nature, used herbal remedies. Mud hadn't met many land wolves though, and it was always intriguing to hear their ways. Mud's elongated body tended to gather questions from outsiders, though, and she struggled to answer them. Her father had elongated features, flowing hair, and her mother was a tall lady. Together, Mud and her siblings were strange-looking pups compared to the typical pups growing up around the time she was born.

"Greetings, fellow traveler." Mud's voice was deep, in contrast to Audra's delicate sound. Mud's voice also had the tangle of a mixed accent. Some of her words came out a little strange. "That would be agreeable. Have you come here to collect herbs as well?" She asked, smiling at the nervous-sounding girl. "I am known as Mud. I hail from the swampland to the east." Mud inhaled the scents of the herbs deeply and found it comforting. Socializing was not her forte, but if it was about plants? Perhaps.
