Onyx had been wandering a little farther from the north as of late. She had a lot of things on her mind. She loved her family dearly, but she was struggling to find just where she belonged. It wasn't like she had options or anything. She had been left to her own den in the pines as was expected of her as she came of age. She didn't want to leave her parents and her siblings but there was just a part of her that wanted more. She didn't know if that was finding a pack or a group, finding a mate or at least a friend. She didn't know what she was after. Everything was sheer mystery. She guessed she just had to go out to explore more of herself but her days were filled mostly with aimless wandering and not really anything new to her. Even if she met someone new, or learned something new. Nothing ever sparked her.
Her mind had been wandering to Kuroki and Cina as of recently though. She wondered if they had ever thought of her too, though that seemed pretty silly to think. She wasn't sure if she was just lonely and as age come upon her maybe she just wanted a friend. She wasn't great at making them. She was pretty hard headed and harsh. She hadn't realized she had pushed Cina away, but now that she hadn't seen Kuroki in some time she was wondering if it was her that was the problem. She was becoming rather insecure for such a tough girl, and she did her best to hide it. It was easy when she was around her family, and even easier around strangers.
She walked along the bank of the grande, her gaze down at the flowing river and the fish that swerved and flipped around inside. It was a little different than the north, at least where the lakes were frozen over and the fish were easier to see moving under the ice. She was lost in her own empty thoughts inside her head. All she heard was the heavy fluttering of some kind of bird before it hit her face and smacked her around. She was quite surprised, stopping dead in her tracks as her head thrashed around while she foolishly fought off with this bird. The bird wasn't even attacking her, and she only realized that after it thunked onto the ground and moved across the river. It had left a thick substance over her eyes, tar? Maybe it was honey? She couldn't even tell. Her eyes became hard to open and when she rubbed her face on her leg the thick, sticky stuff just seemed to get worse on her face and now onto her leg.
She couldn't see anything, her eyes completely shut in the goo and her first thought after a moment was to get down to the river and try to wash it off. But she had to be careful, she couldn't get caught up in the rush of the water and float down the stream to drown. Her paws were careful as she moved forward, but the sound of the water was rather loud so she honestly couldn't tell how close or far she was or if she was even moving in the right direction. The fight with the bird had her all turned around too.
She did happen to hear the roar that was... was it close? It was awfully loud so she expected that it was pretty close. Her wondering came to a halt as she ended up smacking into the rear of the bear, not knowing of the pup tangled in vines or the other that might have been nearby. She tensed immediately, jumping back a step but fumbling over the uneven ground where her eyes couldn't see her paw's own obstacles. She didn't suppose she could run... so in response she growled out before snapping her jaws hoping to find some kind of purchase. But she didn't.
