once again she was roused from her sleep, this time by hunger and pain instead of nausea.  she had stuck close to her boulder, still staying on the outskirts of the valley.  but her body was infected and hunting was difficult and she had long since dug up every scrap of meat she had hidden around the meadow — she saw no other option than to help herself to the meat-pit.

but it was in pack lands.  and she very desperately did not want to go into the pack lands, because that's where the girls were.  and she might do something wrong again.  she placed one paw past the borders in a sweeping arc, removing it in the same manner, and then repeated the motion a few times.  nope, nothing blew up.

she repeated it again with two paws and then looking behind her, took off into a dead ass bolt beeline-straight for the cache.
