The night before, Melee had taken Range aside and asked him to exploring with her. She couldn't remember the last time that the pair of them had gone out adventuring. Everything had been so busy lately with the move, their father's new mateship, and just going about their own business. So she was delighted when he agreed and they planned to meet at Aelcrest Shore. It wasn't too far from their pack lands and Melee hadn't been there for quite some time. The last time that she had visited, there had been snow on the ground. She wanted to see the seal pups playing in the surf, explore the shore, then make a plan to go somewhere from there. It wasn't as if they needed to stay at Aelcrest all day, it was just a jumping point for the rest of their plans. Maybe they could go up into the Foothills to see what they might be able to find. There were so many interesting places to go that she was sure they could find something interesting to do.
Melee had arrived before her brother, a bit earlier than they had planned. It wasn't exactly intentional, but her morning ritual of going for a nature hike in the pack lands had ended early. Perhaps she was getting better at hiking or maybe the excitement of an adventure to be had was what had made her feet move faster. Either way, she didn't notice her brother on the shoreline. Sitting down on a rock that overlooked the shoreline, she waited for her brother. Surely he would be there within the next twenty minutes or so, if he was on time. If he wasn't, she would just lay back and enjoy the sun for a while until he decided to show up.
