Bearclaw Valley return

Sif left @Isengrim in the glade, not sure how welcome he would be within the valley's walls. It didn't matter either way - the pair would soon be returning to the coast, where they had a bit of family business to attend to. With her siblings back in town, the dark girl wasn't sure she could be kept away from the waters, even by the call of her family, and a safe place to stay for the winter.

But as she entered the valley that day, she called for @Wardruna, not waiting for him to find her but going out in search of him, even though her limbs ached fiercely from her weeks alone. She'd forgotten all about her various wounds, but Wardruna would surely notice the half-healed gouge on the side of her neck, and the assorment of bites and scratches that covered her face and extremities. All were largely superficial, and would soon fade to the patchwork of scars that already covered her body.
