March was as furious as the previous month in terms of temperature, though thankfully, they had received little snow on top of the torrent dumped on them some weeks ago. The hybrid woman still clearly recalled being dug from her cave, of course, but she preferred not to remember the aftermath and the other damages done to the clan, instead reflecting on the bonding time spent with China. The silver-shaded hybrid could never really get enough of her grand-daughters; their presence was soothing and calming to her, much the same as their father's.
The old woman trotted through the snow with surprising ease, made limber and flexible by the substances provided by these very same granddaughters. Without it, the Centurion feared her arthritis might have the best of her. In the morning, it was difficult to stand, as it was. She would be twelve this year, and she felt this with every bone and tendon in her body. Despite the monochrome hybrid's acute knowledge of her own age, it was not apparent from her gait nor her face -- her mostly-pale muzzle had survived graying remarkably well, and only the russet streak had gone gray-white, ticked with a salty color that it had lacked in its youth.
Still, despite her age and what she had been through, the grizzled Luperci refused to cease tending to her duties where Inferni was concerned, and thus her reason for the patrol today. Her Optime form was not the preferred method of travel, but it seemed to move easier in the snow for her, and so she had taken to it lately. Though the going was slower, the silver-shaded hybrid did not patrol the entire border for hours on end as she once had. Inferni was quite stocked with limber, youthful individuals, and the coyote simply did not need to devote the time she had once given to the perimeter of the territory.
