Stone Circle Helpful

The female seemed friendly, and Steph's tail wagged in response. My name is Steph, she responded in kind. She took a few steps toward the female, but she unexpectedly stumbled, her front end going down before she could catch herself. She yelped in pain as her ribs protested the quick movement.

Instead of trying to get back up, she laid on the ground, her ears folded on her head as she waited for the pain to subside. The female was momentarily forgotten as Steph closed her eyes against the sharp feeling in her side. When it got better, she opened her eyes and looked up at Pema.
