He had travelled further inland, having had enough of getting lost within the bamboo maze and wanting to stretch his legs. Figuring at least knowing the topographical layout of the surrounding lands was a good idea, regardless of how often he'd actually be moving between Tojo-kai and the northern lands, he had set forth with a bare amount of supplies. Largely some small nibbles to keep him energised during his exploration. He didn't need much sustenance to keep him going, and he had every intent to make use of it. Hage stumbled across a large fjord with thick forests on either edge, but with the autumnal season all the leaves had turned brown and were quickly falling to the ground. With every stepped he crunched loudly, and he had to resist the urge to clench his jaw and grind his teeth. The noise set him on edge, making his fuse shorter than it already was, which wasn't saying much. It didn't take much to annoy him, and apparently he would need to add crunchy leaves to that ever-growing list. But it seemed as if he wasn't the only wolf walking along the fjord, and in addition to that not the only Tojo-kai wolf. The other wolf stood out against the browning forest, stark black fur with splotches of warm hues, and a size that rivaled Hattori. An obnoxious height seemed to be a common theme among the koi wolves in this place, and if he was being honest it annoyed him. Quite a lot. It felt like a slap in the face, though he knew it wasn't their fault that he had been cursed with such a short stature. Hage didn't make any attempt to call out to the other koi wolf, intent on pretty much ignoring her as he made his way along the fjord, though he did consider just turning around and going somewhere else. He wasn't in the mood for conversing. Word count: 527/1,500 |
