Emberflame Ridge and they were roommates

She vaguely hears the distant oh shit but leaves rustle beneath her. By the time the stranger comes around the other side of the tree, she’s half up but still stunned. ”Yeah,” she wheezes, putting her feet beneath her and propping herself up. The wide trunk hadn’t been enough to give her enough room near the top and claw marks are left in the side to indicate her fall. A shake of her head and a few deep breaths and everything is relatively back to normal.

”I’m used to falling,” she says with a chuckle. It’s not the first. It won’t be the last. But it definitely has the best result. Mallaidh smiles when her pale eyes finally focus on her newest companion and thumps her tail against the fallen tree.
