Chasing rabbits

The steppe was beginning to be her favorite place. Aside from the hidey hole that she and Aji had found deep in the mountains, she would rather be down here. It was still cold, but warmer than up on the mountain. Plus, the snow wasn't so painful. The snow was soft and pretty down here. Swirling and sparkling as it fell, twirling from the heavens. Delphi would begin to admire the beautiful frozen rain as she wandered around the steppe. As of late, with the snow blowing in from the north, the plants had all since shriveled and hidden beneath their frosty blankets. So she had to find other things to do with her time. Hunt mice, peel bark from trees, ya know, the weird things she did.

Everything was silent until it wasn't. She had been enjoying the peace and quiet, watching the snow as she walked until a scrambling noise caught her attention. Looking around with those bi-colored eyes, she was surprised to see someone larger than her slinking, well more like limping, off to some corner of the ruins. Delphi's head tilts lightly as her brow furrows. The white of the other pup's coat was familiar, but she couldn't tell if it was the color or just some snow. Feeling not so angsty that day, she figured she could at least offer some help. Approaching the corner with slow, cautious steps, Delphi peeked around the corner and found of course that damn boy. Her fur bristles instantly, lips raising in a snarl until she sees the cut on his side.

"You're hurt," she says, her voice flat as her body relaxes. Though her satchel is with her, she has no snacks this time. Just supplies. Bandages, a few salves, and some dried bark and flowers. "Let me see it," Delphi demands as she marches up to the boy. Even if he wasn't done with his meal, she didn't care. She didn't need his stupid rabbit. She wasn't desparate like he was.
