Well, he was wet still. If nothing came out of this he could at least jot this all down as not worth the swim and never come back again.
He hadn't gone very far into the field, all things considered. It seemed like it just spread out for miles in front of him, the river at his back. He could see other animals -- some deer, some others -- moving about as silhouettes that peeked above the grasses. He watched them for a few minutes while he stood. They didn't seem to be reacting like anything was disturbing them. So probably a reasonably peaceful area, and Mal figured he'd leave it that way once he turned around to head back to the Bluffs. Just a bit of a day trip or whatever.
That thought done, he continued on, walking somewhat aimlessly, but periodically stopping to both check the breeze and stand tall to peer over the tallest grasses -- he wasn't the tallest wolf in the world, and the normal pose one took while walking half the time ended up at eye level with the thick patches. Even thought it sure seemed like things were quiet, he was far enough from home that he didn't want to get jumped by someone or something he wasn't expecting. This was just supposed to be a little exploratory jaunt then head back to report on his adventures.
He still hoped that somehow he'd find his sister wandering through here -- after all, it wasn't like she was at any of his normal places of exploration -- but Mal didn't exactly have high hopes. Finding his siblings was about as likely as it was the sky to turn polka-dot green and mauve or something equally unnatural and hideous.
