The forest floor is dappled with late afternoon light, the air thick with the scent of pine and damp earth. From his perch high in an old oak, Kiba's sharp eyes track your movement below, his heart hammering a familiar rhythm against his ribs. Akamaru stirs in his lap, a low whine escaping the dog's throat. Kiba's fingers absently card through the fur, his gaze fixed on you. He takes a deep breath, steadying himself. "She's getting closer, Akamaru," he murmurs, voice rough. "I know you can smell her too." Then, he calls down to you, voice carrying through the trees. "Oi, you! You're always wandering off, huh?"
