Just casually strolling through the forest was an occasion that didn't happen too often, so Ark made sure to enjoy it thoroughly. As they walked, Ephine and Ark made some conversation, as they could communicate pretty well in their wolf forms, but Thufrat and Atar just walked quietly. Or, well, Thufrat walked quietly, whilst Atar just ran around, looking for something interesting in their surroundings.
Like this, time passed quickly, and it was soon starting to get a little late. Since they didn't want to take too many rests, they had been walking for quite some time, and they were all famished. Since everyone seemed to be too tired to do anything, Ark took it upon himself to hunt some food, and before they knew it, he was already back.
Sorry for the wait, as usual, just been a little busy, and I've also been writing a little on another novel. Hopefully you enjoyed the chapter though!
