There was a border, and it was marked not just by scent but by stakes. And on the stakes were strange white things that looked like faces, except they didn't move and didn't respond when she asked if they were alive. Of course, they could just be asleep, but their blank stare irritated her and so she had pressed forward. Across the border. Technically Sage knew that this was something she wasn't supposed to do, but she had been doing it for the past week.. few weeks? She had no idea how many days ago she had left. And it didn't really matter. What mattered most of all was that she was hungry, but that was a difficult problem to solve on her own. She knew theoretically how to hunt but her paws didn't go the places they were wanted them to, so she didn't really bother trying very hard. She had caught a few lazy bugs, which tasted gross and didn't actually fill her up very much. More substantially she had, a few days ago, stumbled upon a crow picking at the corpse of a rabbit and managed to scare away the bird, taking it's meal for it's own.
Oh, the other thing that was important was Daddy. That was why she had left, after all. She was tired of her siblings, and her mother, and she missed him. Sage also wanted to understand why he had left. It wasn't that she was mad at him, but it was strange that he had killed Storm Lily, and she wanted to know why. She just wanted things to make sense. She didn't even feel very upset or anything, it was just a distant curiosity that felt removed from her current situation. It was merely an excuse to take this adventure. But her paws were sore, and she was ready to have a consistent place to sleep again. And it smelled like Daddy was here. Could she find where he lived on her own, without having to howl, without having to ask anyone else? It was like a secret game, but only she knew about it so if she lost it wouldn't matter.
