Silver Creek -- i was fuckin' around while you were saving the world

since the first time she'd met the girl steeped in smoke, she'd put on weight.  mind you it was very little as her anxious mind caused her nervous stomach to revolt against any bit of food she forced down... but it was enough to be a marked difference.

the more she healed the more she lingered on the borders, directly defying mato's orders though from the way it smelled, both delight and mato had traveled alone outside the borders.  she swears to god if she gets reprimanded for this and nobody else....

finally, she gathers the courage to move past the king elk and into the silver creek where they'd first met, tiptoeing between pack-land and foriegn-land with a dangerously casual air.

and she lifted her snout to call the girl who first brought her back down to earth (though now that she was more sane she'd have to go seek out gracious once more).  @Zada.
