Hushed Willows don't you know i'm no good for you

She came back to check on @Qilaq the following morning, just as she said she would.  The roar of the falls was not difficult to find even if she was not familiar with the territory.  When she rounded the corner, eyes on the floor, she expected to see Qilaq's dark form.

But she wasn't there.  She could have been irritated, but she wasn't; it meant that Qilaq had restored some of her strength, and that was a good sign.  She took the time to go hunt two medium-sized birds (she didn't want the girl to overeat), and then nose to the ground she moved towards the girl's scent trail, which had thankfully been untouched by the wash of the falls.  She wasn't far, beneath the heavy arms of one of the willows, and Seabreeze curled up a distance away in the sun.

Good morning.
