Phoenix Maplewood admit no guest without a date of departure

The bear's attack had wrought more damage to the territory than initially expected. Reek first focused on the injuries and safety of the others, but after that was taken care of he set off to take inventory of the damage. Then, and only then, did the full weight of guilt and disappointment come down upon him. The caches were ruined, sacked; but, the most disappointing loss of all was the garden he had helped Citali create. Knowing that there was a garden to pick from, his private herb cached was severely lacking. Now Reek was left grossly unprepared.

He cursed to himself. There was only one thing left to do. Start over. He prowled around the fringes of the Maplewood in the hopes of finding a useful plant to bring to Citali.  Soon enough, he found a thick clump of chervil. He took his time making sure to not damage the root system before plucking the plant, roots and all, from the ground. Clutching the bundle of greenery with his teeth, he set off towards Citali's ruined garden. Clumps of dirt broke free from the roots with every step and Reek was nearly covered.

He neared the clearing by the time Citali's howl rang out across the Maplewood. Speak of the devil. He burst forth from the brush behind her and voiced a muffled, "Mhm?" before spitting the clump out of his mouth and down to her forepaws.
