Horizon Ridge forsaken deep in the sullen tide

Timing and area actually works perfect for Grace - this would be right after meeting Stark, fighting Saena, and getting helped by Rickon. <3

Grace limped forward from Rickon's company long before - the sun was now setting, and the yearling would need to find something to eat soon. The old meat Rickon had fed her was making her feel ill - if she didn't get something more fresh, the healer feared she would vomit. 

She cut closer to the Marauder's than she'd wanted to, but their smell on the wind was what she'd sought - upon getting it, she realized it was not that of home.... She could leave here in confidence that she was making the correct choice. 

Knowing there was a stream close by, Grace headed for that - she was thirsty, and with luck there would be a fish or two to gobble down. What she was not expecting was the face of Mordecai - Grace gasped in surprise as she rounded a boulder and was far closer than she'd have liked to be.

                  "M-Mordecai!"

The last she knew, he and Larkspur had gone on some adventure - probably to find the blonde girls sibling - but it appeared he was home... Alone? Did he know of her and Trick's abandonment? Tavi's death? Would he attack her, or talk peacefully? Grace hopped for the latter - she'd had enough of cowering and hosility. Nonetheless, she shrank back and stumbled back - only earning a very graceless sit - away from the potential danger.
