Padding softly into the unfamiliar part of Tiayr, Fia was weary of who or what she might find. She was sure footed as her pads touched the grass beneath her, the wind was nice and not too over powering. The smells were new to her and she rejoiced in being free in this space. Auds twitched forward and back checking for noises of someone coming upon her. She wasn't hungry and yet the sound of rustling rabbits made her tense with anticipation of the hunt that wasn't there. Her body shifted into a sideways walk as her eyes cast heaven ward, the weather was nice here. She liked the open but the feeling of being alone had her on edge. Being a nearly a year old now, the she wolf had definitely grown some. Even though she had traveled a little alone before, she was still edgy when it came to places where she was exposed.
Fighting off the slow paranoia she shook her head from side to side. The world was full of cruelty but she was on guard for the unexpected. But in saying that, there was good too. Given her terrible start in life, if there were no light at the end of the tunnel, she would have never found Rhyanne. Whilst she wasn't biologically Fia's mother, she was very much so in every other department. Fia had long ago forgotten her blood mother, her mind readily accepting Ryh as her own, without hesitation. On that thought, Fia eased into a lope just to relieve the tension brewing under her skin. She hoped Momma wouldn't be too upset with her wandering off. Glancing around with bright yellow eyes, she took in the area around her, such loneliness for such a beautiful place.
The young adult thought about her last few months wondering of what was to come. She had no idea there was so much outside of her own little world that she had been brought up in. Things were far more interesting outside. This brought a pang of sadness. She felt almost guilty leaving Momma, if only for a few hours. But as the thought of turning back home filtered into her mind, something sparked on the wind and caught in her nose. This was new. It riddled her for a moment as she stopped and lifted her maw. Slightly opening her jaws she sniffed. Something was near. She had always been a curious little thing, but more so when Momma was near.
Sniffing again in the same position, Fia snapped her head into the direction of where it was coming from. With a reassuring growl, Fia silently hushed herself and took a few tentative steps forward. Her muscles tensed up, her ears slowly drawing backward onto her skull. She didn't know whether to be still or to run. Crouching low in the grass, Fia whined softly in defeat as common sense decimated her curiosity. Maybe this was a bad idea.
