Narfi was unsure on when the woman, her new mentor, would form the pack she spoke of but looking back on what she said, the girl figured it wouldn't take too long. That was why she brought herself away from the mainland to explore an island for a bit, the warmth of summer seeming unable to melt the snow and ice covering the earth here. The girl would make sure not to wander this place long, she had to get back to the mainland and wait for the call to summon her.
Paws would carry the girl back towards the small but of shrubbery she had hidden her things in to dry from the swim, gently pressing her cheek to the bag in a few places to make sure it was dry. Carefully she would grab a strap in her jaw, using her tongue as well to tie it in a knot, then did the same to a second strap closer to the front. With those two tied she would slide the bags over her head, pulling her limbs through and twisted it so it sat on her back nicely. Head would turn and lower, grabbing the last strap and tying it in a knot as well but this one would be against her chest rather than underside like the other two.
With skull set neatly a top her head the young woman would set off, but rather than dive right into the center of the island she would move along the shore and see what lay there first. Tail flicked behind her, ears swiveling left and right, gaze running over the terrain and nose sniffing the air. She would keep her guard up while wandering, you never know when somebody could be watching you, waiting to striking at the perfect moment.
