Heron Lake Plateau They wanna lay me to rest, but I won't go

vaguest of the vague!

She was somewhere in their territory... she wasn't sure where, she'd been way too far gone by the time they'd gotten there to care.  She wasn't even sure she'd helped much most of the way, but somehow, she was here.

She slept a lot the first few days, and presumably, Raven saw to her.  But now she was awake, and anxiety gnawed at her gut as she realized what this meant.  She'd been missing from Ironsea for near on a week, and she needed to get home.  But a slow test of her legs showed her quickly she couldn't travel yet... she was stuck here, among (albeit kind) strangers, and likely they would think she deserted.  Wouldn't they?

Hopefully an explanation would be enough.  Why hadn't she just turned and left instead of trying to fight the damn cat?  She cursed herself liberally as she lay, on her side, staring at an unfamiliar landscape.  Nothing for it now.  Hopefully soon she'd be fit for runnin home again, and she could get out of their fur.
