Bearclaw Valley seal the clouds with grey lining

cameo for visibility unless y'all wanna engage her!

she had given the girl her space since her abrupt labor, but she could not help the bud of hope that welled forth in her chest.  perhaps whatever had transpired between bearclaw's matriarch and the redleaf girls could be forgiven, even if it could not be forgotten.  

she left the pups with @Xan and tracked down the largest prey animal she could find — spring had settled in and food was getting fatter.  she was lucky enough to find an exhausted doe; labor had not gone well for her and unfortunately, she would not make it.

she did not want to think about whatever omen that might be.  

she cleaned it up well enough to guise what had felled the doe and gathered more bushels of lavender, dragging both of them to laurel's whelping den.  she did not dare come too close, instead she left them near enough that indra could grab them and then turned a nervous heel back to her children.
