Herne slipped out of his den and stretched out his slender form. He was naturally very thin anyway, but it was very apparent that this last bout of sickness had taken a toll on his physique. His fur was a little unkempt and his ribs were apparent on his sides, but this really was the best he had felt in quite a while. He took in a deep breath of the morning air and was happy when he breathed out without coughing. He shook to smooth out his fur a bit so it wasn't sticking out in places so badly. His stomach was rumbling fiercely so he headed out to find something to eat.

He told himself that it was a good sign that he had his appetite back, but he wondered if he was going to be able to keep up with any prey he might find. He moved toward a small pool of freshwater that had formed from the snowmelt and happily lapped up the soothing liquid. One step at a time. He froze in place when he heard a rustle in the leaves ahead of him and when he looked up he saw a small doe standing there. Perhaps she had been coming to drink out of this same puddle. For a moment they stared down each other, but the second he lifted a paw to move she was gone. He sighed heavily and put his paw back down. So much for that.
