Anyone welcome; she’s just hanging out.
Blind lay at the edge of New Dawn territory, basking in the sun and silence. Many days had passed since she’d join the tight-knit pack, so her title as ‘newcomer’ didn’t seem truly relevant any longer. She felt happy here, void of the worry and discontent that flooded her every waking moment as a loner; she’d forgotten how tough of a life that was. But, despite the relaxation that came from finally being part of a family again, the emotional distress and months of loneliness were settling into the very grooves of the she-wolf’s brain, threatening insanity with every thought. An unsettling twitch now shook a pointed ear, and her breaths persisted to come to her in short, ragged spurts, as if she’d been running all morning. She didn’t immediately notice it, however, as it would only be truly obvious to those around her. The poor, fragile creature was deteriorating.
A bird left the tree tops with a flutter of its tiny wings somewhere in the distance, and Blind’s bi-colored eyes flickered toward it for only a moment. They then turned forward again, and she shifted her weight so she leaned farther to her right than her left. The way the snow chilled her dark fur was invigorating, and she didn’t mind that she’d been lying around for most of the morning. Unlike most days, today she didn’t have much of an appetite, so she hadn’t been hunting yet. But as lunch-time neared, a tiny gurgle sounded in her stomach – soon enough, she knew, she’d have to find something to eat.
