The sun was getting a little nearer to the horizon, but she continued to look anyway. Ember had been spending a lot of time at Tayui's place with her and her puppies, trying to help out in whatever way she could, and in turn she had neglected to build herself sufficient shelter against the nighttime cold. She had been staying in a cave near to the mother's den, but it had only gotten colder and colder this last week and the cave's mouth hadn't kept the warmth from her fire in as well as she had thought it would. So she would have to make herself a new one.
She rubbed at her healing arm a little, massaging the muscles there. The cold didn't help with the stiffness, but at least it was only that; stiffness, and not pain. That was good. She was hoping to get some hunting done tonight, to bring something back for the white wolf. She hadn't been asked to babysit yet, which she was thankful for [she didn't know a thing about pups, really], so she would hunt for Tayui whenever it was needed. That way she wouldn't feel the need to leave the pups with Ember for very long. Pups were fragile little things, and she didn't want to screw up and end up messing one of them up.
She reached the area around the border, prime hunting territory, and began the search. She could deal with one more night in the cave, and start working on a new den in the morning.
