Not the most pleasent spot

It was nice seeing Ruse so excited to be out exploring.  She had nothing to fear with Kione keeping an eye on her.  Kione would give life or limbs to keep any kid in the pack safe.  Kione acted as if life was all about playing around often enough, happy and upbeat as the painted dog was.  There was a hidden layer under the fun that had a hunger for violence and a drive to protect.

Scenting the landscape there was no sign of any true threat out here.  Most likely no predator felt a need to stay in this area too long after it was explored.  Hot steam on a summer day wasn’t particularly wanted also.  “Be interesting to see if the steam is still as hot in the winter, at least might not seem quite as unpleasant.  Yeah, can’t say if I ever got close to one before but this definitely has to be one.” Kione glanced about the area, “looks like this one’s pretty dormant though.  Life growing about the area that wouldn’t exist otherwise, also I hear the air is no longer clean for a period of time after a volcano has gone off.”
