It wasn't often that Jay wandered this far from home, at night no less, but on this particular evening she was having trouble sleeping. She wasn't sure whether or not it was entirely due to the bright night sky, though the way the moon beamed overhead like a spotlight wasn't exactly conducive to sleep. The yearling let out a sigh as she veered closer to the lake, noting the scent of plentiful prey animals here. At first she thought she was just scenting areas they'd formerly passed through, but as she got closer it became obvious that they were actually active right now, navigating all around, through the underbrush and toward the lake.

Strange. It wasn't the sort of normal prey behavior she'd seen before, but it was unusually bright out... briefly Jay looked to the sky before bringing her attention back down to the ground. Maybe it'd be a good time to take advantage of the strange vibe tonight and catch herself a snack before she went back home. Surely a good hunt and a full belly would help her sleep.

It seemed she wasn't the only one with such an idea though. Up ahead she saw signs of a wolf nearby, creeping through the darkness just like she was. Not wanting to disturb the prey that seemed to be lingering all around them, Jay carefully crept forward - loud enough to show she wasn't trying to sneak up on the stranger. "You smell all that?" She asked, in lieu of a greeting, her voice just over a whisper. "There's some turkeys not far off, I was thinking about trying to take down a few. Wanna join me?" Jay had no issue being openly friendly to strangers, and hunting alongside someone else sounded like a fun plan to her.
