Stone Circle cross my heart and hope to die

Steph had been wandering a bit, getting cooped up at staying near the den. She usually didn't go far, as her muscles seemed to get tired from the effort of not moving in such a way as to upset her broken rib. Her side seemed to stay tensed all the time, unless she was laying down. Today, she tried to ignore it as much as possible.

She wandered a little aimlessly, and came upon Poppy's scent. It smelled strong, so she must not be that far away. Usually, she would just run to catch up, but running was not an option. So, instead, she barked. Poppy! She paused, her ears perked, wondering if Poppy would respond. Their encounters until this point hadn't been very pleasant, but Steph's view on the dog had changed since her and Murdock had spoken. But, would Poppy bother to give the pup another chance?
