“Hmm. This house…” Evelyn held up her hands, her fingers forming a square as she peered through the shape she made, as if it helped her zeroed in on the building before her. It was a good-sized home, maybe three room tops. It was in good shape for a place that had survived over thirty years without anything besides maybe rodents crossing it threshold. The canine was looking over the home as if it was a piece of artwork, looking for any mistakes that her gaze can catch. She stared at it for a moment more, her stormy-blue eyes narrowed, and for a moment it looked as if she was about to approve of it, but she let out a small laugh under her breath, and turned her back from the house.

Evelyn Wood was only accepted into the pack lands a few hours ago, but the place was starting to rub off on her. So far, the territory was peaceful, and the most terrifying thing that she crossed paths with was a fat bumblebee that buzzed off to a field of flowers that she saw in the distance. It was as if the tranquility of the land was a like an essence, making the wolf seem more in peace with herself than she has for a while. But still, it gave the heebie-jeebies, just a little; such a cool place seemed kind of empty, but Evelyn just pushed that thought out of her mind. The wolf that accepted her in the pack said she could claim a house in Thornbury, where most of the pack lives, and she was bound to find one of them soon enough.

There has to be a good home around here somewhere, the wolfdog thought as she walked down the stone path, and out of boredom, started to fiddle with her orange-lens goggles. Many of the houses she pasted were okay, but it didn’t seem to fit Evelyn the right way, like a glove that was either too big or too small. She wanted to find one that would say that it was her home, not some cute little home that seemed at any moment some birds and deer will walk out of the surrounding woods and start doing laundry, which most of these houses were starting to appear to her.
