Maeve grinned as her hooves sank into the fresh snow, more flakes adding to it by the minute, and couldn't believe she'd made it as far as she had on her journey. A few months back Maeve had set out from the den she'd been keeping for far longer than she had intended. The idea was to explore as much as she could and meet as many soquili as possible. Of course, the idea had been grander in her head. In fact, there were many weeks where she didn't see a single soul. Since winter had begun, she'd encountered even less. She couldn't blame them. When the worst of the season was close at hand, Maeve had set about preparing a small cave to keep her through the harsher weather. Her pink eyes trained on the cave opening that stood not more than a short distance away, the entrance slightly hidden by a rock which helped ensure the snow didn't come inside. She quite liked the location. Now she stood in a small open space, enough room to frolic to her hearts content; but just beyond it was a forest rich with berries and the most delicious little mushrooms. It had been a bit of trial and error with a few of them. She watched as rabbits nibbled on certain one's and avoided others which meant she avoided them too. However, once she ate one and had the most delirious dreams. After that she decided to stick to the one's she already knew were safe from past experience and didn't try to test new ones. Clearly that rabbit had been up to no good.
Maeve stopped her hooves, turning about in a circle, a small laugh escaping as she felt the snow crunch beneath her hooves. Where she was from, it didn't snow and over the last few years since leaving her family she'd only had light dustings of it--if that. She'd be sticking around here for a while it seemed. That suited her just fine.
