Cate had finally felt well enough to venture towards the distant grasslands. While she did feel safe with the man who had saved her life, Hecate was not someone who could sit still. And what better way to spend her energy than by collecting herbs for her savior?

The girl searched for a specific herb she knew would help her aches and ease the nightmares that had plagued her since she arrived. Cate wanted to sleep a full night at least once, to finally allow her body to fall into much-needed rest. "Small flowers, large leaves. I think." She murmured as she scanned the earth for what she was searching for. It had to be here. It had to.

An unfamiliar scent halted the woman in her tracks. It didn't smell like a threat, but she couldn't take the chance. Cate had come alone, though now she began to regret that decision. With a flick of an ear, the girl turned to face the location of the source. "Hello?" Cate called softly, talking still a bit painful. She really wished she had eaten those herbs when she had the chance.

In spending his morning tracking a rafter of wild turkey, the sun had risen to its full afternoon height by the time he reached the outermost edges of the grove. When the trees finally cleared and gave way to open plains, Weirs ranged on with his slow, searching jog. His hunts had lured him this far from the confines of the claim, and though not a fruitful mission in the physical sense, he had energy left to go on and no reason to turn back yet. But perhaps, he could, and should, shift his thinking slightly.

His trail on the birds had unfortunately waned, scattering faded into the grasses, and to him, this was instead an expanse of land ruled by the ungulates that traversed these plains. Weirs would not be hunting them, not for a meal, but he thought he could still see how they were doing--and see what he could actually find in practice. It aligned enough with his interests to investigate how the herds fared, for reasons different than most. Those that remained within the sanctity of the Gate were one thing, but these could be an entire other...

Busy with his nose down in the grasses, he didn't manage to notice her right away. A voice? From so near? His head shot up and then he could see her. “Um, hi..” he replied, slowly weaving closer towards the unfamiliar wolf. “Sorry. Were you hunting something?” he asked, suspecting him to have ruined it, if so. Because why else would she be prowling around here, like him?
