TAGS — Icepaw knows it's against the rules to traverse the tunnels alone; they can be treacherous at times, and she's only a little over halfway through her training so she knows she has a lot more to learn. Still, sometimes she's too impatient to wait around for a partner, or she needs alone time in her favorite part of the territory. The underground is dangerous, but it's peaceful as well, so removed from everything else. No thick snow to trip all over, no drama to think about, just dirt and rock and darkness. It's comforting. So she often sticks to the shallower swathe of tunnels close to the surface on her solo adventures, clearing out debris and keeping a metaphorical eye out for any prey she can catch. It's almost too easy to nab hibernating rodents when she's able to find them.
Right now she's swept up in the former task — more of a chore, really, but busywork is still entertaining in its own way. It's easy to fixate on it, letting her body take over while her thoughts run wild, conversations raging on in her head about this and that. This same head suddenly pops out of a hole in the ground, jaws wrapped around a loose bundle of branches and roots that she's quick to spit out into the snow.
