Welcome to Gaia! ::

Of course, acting like you didn’t want company was a surefire way to get attention. At least, that’s how it was with Southern Shadow, though it wasn’t intentional this time.

Since proving themselves to Night Fell, the sisters had begun settling into life in the desert. If nothing else, it was a very different life than being in the forest, where one could always count on shade and cover to hide in. The new location was stimulating, if frustrating, so she took a little comfort being at the border back to the lands she had been born. Especially with the bonus of being able to stand in decently depthed water for once.

She tried her paw at fishing for a while, and just as it seemed like she was going to have to give up and go bother a stranger until the grumpiness passed, a flash of light caught her eye. Southern Shadow leapt for it, but somehow her trajectory was just enough that the fish launched out of the water and onto land, flopping frantically further and further away.

“Watch it!” Shadow called as the fish heaved itself closer to the other wolf, trailing behind with a pant.

Ready to deal with having her food taken, Southern Shadow’s hackles had been raised. Just because the alpha said pack mates couldn’t steal from one another didn’t mean some things didn’t fall through the cracks. Stupid fish.

Old habits were so hard to break. But snark hadn’t earned her anything beyond loving snark back from her sister, and revealing that the fish had just been for herself might not look good for a new recruit. “Pack,” she said replied, setting a paw down on the fish in case it decided to do more death throes. “What’re you doing just sitting there?”
