Bramblepoint I'm trying not to waste my time

@Ikari

Several days are spent caring for the injured woman, Skylaris. Liri bides her time making sure the woman does not die of infected wounds, catching small game for her to eat, and bringing her soaked moss to drink from. She is weary when Skylaris is finally in a condition to travel alone. 

Despite the aches in her bones and the sleep that begs to take over her consciousness, Liri wears a proud smile. She saved someone's life. 

The healer sets out for Broken Antler Fen alone. Her fear is lessened since she has come across only Skylaris and is certain she will return to her pack without trouble. Still, the tiny fluffball moves cautiously.

The forest she travels through is thick with the dead thorny brambles of last year's growth. They are so thick that they have not fallen and instead remain in place to stab and pull at whatever unfortunate creature gets too close. 

Liri pauses here in this forest to rest, choosing a spot by a small stream to wash her sore paw pads in. Once soothed by the cool water, Liri sits by the stream to watch the water trickle by. Occasionally the silver flicker of a fish catches her eye.
