Tar and fumes. The city's concentrated stench was a wall behind the young, stump - tailed female. She smelled of the city too, but it was diluted as polydactyl black paws carried her further from the city's beating heart. It was quieter here. Smelled a bit like wet tree trunks, and needle-covered path. Her barely - there tail was nothing more but a shaggy, docked, stump but it could still be seen frequently twitching and almost wagging as she made her way.
Her jet - black nose twitched thoughtfully for a moment as she scouted the air, her location. What is this place? She thought, a twinge queasy from this lost-ness she felt, and only towering trees and flora encircled her. Everything looked the same. Smells and sights Hound had never sensed nor experienced. A dog’s worn, rich brown leather collar swung back and forth on her scruff, a grim reminder of what she had left.
Hound scoffed, wanting to hit herself on the head. How could she have been so brainless to stay in Bloodclan for that long? She had joined a few moons ago in search of family, and she had found them. Despite her joining and time there, Hound never grew closer to her family ties, and was thoroughly nauseated by Bloodclan anyways.
She had gone there in hopes of escaping her past, but instead Hound found herself sleeping with one eye open and in a place where she didn’t belong. A place where regretful decisions were made by the large female. She struggled not to ponder on it right now.
So, she left. With no word, warning, or goodbye. They'll never notice Hound contemplated, more or less unperturbed by the fact.
Hound was deep in her thoughts, tracking the smells and sights and sounds and following them absently until realizing the sensations were stronger now. It smelled of ... others. Tall ears swiveled as uneasiness began to ruffle the inky female, and if this place was anything like Bloodclan ... well, it would be in her own best interest to leave, and quickly.
Hound's molten coppery-amber hues were acute and sharp, and huge raven - shaded paws started moving as she began to slink away. She was ever vigilant at the moment, trying her best to lurk away with zero attention.
