Stone Circle Helpful

Steph tried to control the pain by focusing on her breathing. She knew the pain would pass, eventually. Pema's voice broke through her concentration, and Steph looked at her. No, she responded. I got hurt by some bison a few weeks ago, she explained. The outside wounds are healing okay, but I get this sharp pain in my right side when I move certain ways. 

While it had gotten better with time, Steph still had to be careful to not aggravate it. It was a tense few minutes, but the pain finally subsided enough that Steph could breath easy. She visibly relaxed, but didn't move to stand just yet.
