Shade continued to lay in the sunshine, taking in the clean, crisp summer air. There was a breeze, but nothing particular she could smell. Lingering, old scents of caribou, squirrels and other woodland creatures reached her nose. But those scents were old, and undoubtedly long gone. Still, she felt a slight whisper of hunger, and told herself she'd hunt later. Right now, this spot in the sunshine was far to comfortable to move from. A sound below her made her open her eyes, and the breeze brought up the scent of a male that was still fairly recent. She looked down from her point and spotted him, drinking from the stream below. He's clearly flexing, and though he's far away, she doesn't miss his small glance up at her. Standing up, she stretches out for a couple seconds before sitting down and tilting her head at him, tail curled around her. She's tempted to go down and speak to him, but the comfort of the rock and the sunshine was still all too alluring to give up.
