Signy Lasair

Well, here she was, slowly making her way back down south now that summer was over and autumn had returned, bringing cooler temps. Being purely black was not a pleasant thing in the heat of winter down south. Of course, autumn brought a heat of an entirely different kind - the really, really annoying kind, as Signy was finding out. If Ozzy hadn't been there to explain what exactly was happening to her body, she probably would have thought she was going crazy, or getting sick like the epidemic that had made Cecily sick back when they were pups. It was really stupid was what it was - just because she was old enough to have puppies now her body had to go and do some stupid heat cycle? Well she didn't want puppies so why did she have to go through the whole dumb thing? Stupid!!

Well, it didn't seem that reaching Baby-Making Age had changed her body much - Signy was still as pixie-like as she ever was and the short stature combined with her slim build made her look like a child despite the stupid pheromone scent that she couldn't seem to get rid of no matter how much she bathed. Eugh. It was super gross. Ozzy didn't seem to be bothered by it, though he was a pine marten and carried his own musky odor all the time so he was probably used to being stinky.

He was bouncing along beside her at the moment as she trotted along, sticking his nose into everything as he looked for prey. They hadn't eaten yet today but that wasn't so unusual - she had managed to catch a beaver on land yesterday so they'd eaten well on the rich meat and weren't in immediate need of food. It was just never a good idea to pass up the opportunity to hunt when you didn't know when your next meal would come by. She herself was alert as well, constantly on the lookout for danger as well as prey - not that she was worried about it... she was hardly the weak child she appeared, and she trotted beneath the towering trees with complete confidence.
