Hushed Willows Don't let them them steal your light

The russet yearling had been rustling around, digging for any herbs that grew around here, when the copper female materialized. What'd she say? Deer? Ugh, the thought of it made her leg ache already. She'd only just gotten it to not hurt after her last deer hunt, and soon was shaking her head. Her eyes were fearful of retaliation, but she spoke her mind anyway.
              "I would, but the last time I tried that this stupid thing flared up so bad I couldn't walk for a day after. I'm a trapper, I can move well, but anything heavy is just too much. I could try and help you bring it down but not drag it back."
She felt bad for having to turn down the prospect of bonding, and was embarrassed on top of that. Anger surged up in her throat, wishing to bubble over and curse her leg and those who'd caused it. She just wanted to be NORMAL. But Spring and Laika's words to watch her health before trying to impress someone had stuck, and she was set in her words.
