In her jaws she clutched a bundled clot of herbs, legs and underside already muddied from her efforts as she cut a path through the heart of Ursus. Her steps were light as she guided herself along stones and timber, trying to recall just where she needed to duck off along a ruddy path to find the medicine den that Evien had spoke of.
After that, she hadn’t figured out just what it was that she would do—probably head right back out to keep herself busy, to keep ever lurking thoughts at bay for just a moment longer. The stillness before the storm did not aid her in this; as she moved she could not help but think of @Merrick and how she had not seen him in some time.
