Running With The Salmon Festival

Lucette had been excited at the idea of a competition. When she heard about the races her first thought was how much of a heart attack her father might have if he knew she was participating. But she was older now, stronger, and more than capable of handling herself! She’d even managed to beat Bae-Syl in their “fight”, not that it was really a fight… but she still won! If only because he let her so she wouldn’t throw a tantrum. So after giving warning to Bae-Syl that she was off to have some fun she went to join the others that were going to be racing that day.

Others were gathered and Lucette looked around at them curiously. Wolves of shape and sizes and even… a horse? Was that really fair to race against a horse? She didn’t know, but she was paying more mind to their host. The woman introduced herself as Jynn, a packless wolf just looking for some fun. That was something the girl could get behind. She smiled; it’d be nice to be in some good company.

“Thank you for the invitation. It’s nice to be able to enjoy a day with folks without carrying about dumb things like pack alliances.” They were all creatures of the earth after all.

She turned her attention to the salmon after that. For a small creature, she could really pack food away - a trait she’d inherited from her larger mother. She wasn’t worried about winning or losing. Sure it was more fun to win, but right now she just wanted to enjoy herself. Then she could tell Bae all about the races when she got back later.

Once she had eaten her fill she sat back to wait for everyone else to finish. A stranger approached her, one she could only assume was to be her racing partner, Ciannait. Lucy grinned and gave a nod. “Of course! Why don’t we spread out a little bit? Give us some room to start away from the other races. Come on!” Without waiting for an answer Lucette hopped to her paws and started moving.

[[Ooc:: Gonna have us a separate thread up by the title of “Work it harder, make it better, do it faster…” in the Monument Rapids up in just a moment. I technically already wrote it, but be on the lookout~]]
