Phoenix Maplewood be careful waking up the giants

backdated a little to the evening after she left

she padded back into the maplewood when the sun was just beginning to dip beneath the horizon, the calls of nightbirds tinging the night air with music. clutched in her jaw were a marmot and a hare, the latter of which freshly caught with a great deal of protest from the wounds that marred her chest and shoulder, with additional outcry from the shallow, yet annoying, gash over her right eye. 

she moved through the wood, searching for the pair, not entirely sure if she'd rather encounter @Aditya alone, or with @Easy. surely it would be better to explain to him exactly what she'd done first, and yet she did not know what she'd say to him. she did not know how to explain that all her doubts faded in the face of losing him, the possibility of which scared her more than anything she'd encountered. when she neared the place they'd settled, she let out a low chuff, approaching carefully now as her mind buzzed for an explanation that she could not quite put together.
