Sorry for the cruddy post. / +325

The cavern was perfect for a den.

Grimwell was distant enough from the main hub of activity in Inferni, the mansion where many of the clan’s members seemed to gather, and yet it was close enough that she could head there if she wanted to. Her own tunnel faced out toward the forest she frequented. More importantly, it wasn’t human-constructed; she didn’t trust the old buildings and forsook whatever comforts the luperci used. While she accepted by now that she was one of them, part of her still wanted to prove she was just as comfortable in an old cavern.

As happy as she was with her newly claimed home, Vesper was reluctant to leave it. She lifted herself from the floor, trotting through the tall but narrow tunnel into the morning sunlight. Tilting her head back, she let the warmth wash over her face, contrasting sharply with the chill that affected the rest of her body. It would be one of those days—enough sunshine to tempt the coyotes outside but not enough to keep them warm.

She was grateful for her winter coat as she stepped a distance away from the tunnel and settled down into the grass in front of the caves. Once she was sure that she was alone, she took the time to shift into her optime form—the more surface area to stretch out and absorb the sunlight. On her back, she folded her arms behind her head and swished her tail through the frost-covered grass, grateful that today the snow had held off.

The sight of ravens in the sky kept her interest; their shapes were dark against the bright blue sky. Squinting slightly, she watched them whirl around before a few of them headed back west to where she supposed the flock normally stayed. It seemed that today would be a quiet one—or at least she could hope… Her life had been too damn fast-paced lately.
