Heron Lake Plateau plan b

Although she tried to keep out of the way, Camilla couldn't help her inquisitive nature. She stole glances at the impressive dark-coated woman who was aiding Towhee, and observed as the girl went for a dunk in the water. When she came up she was sputtering and struggling, and Camilla felt panic grip tightly at her own chest; she hurried to the water's edge and helped where she could, being tall and somewhat fit, but by the time Towhee was out of the water and snuggling up to Raven, Camilla had stepped aside again.

She caught the glance from Towhee, noticed the eye-roll, and didn't know what to make of it. The woman assumed that she wasn't one of Towhee's best friends or anything; she assumed more acutely, that Towhee thought she was a menace or something, and decided it would be best to leave these two to their --- whatever this was.

As she began to slink away, she noticed the chattering of Towhee's teeth. Her coat was still very damp, and Raven could only warm her up on one side, it wouldn't be enough. Without a word, the silver woman returned along the bank of the lake and carefully folded up beside Towhee, resembling a fine-boned deer as she did so. She wouldn't look at Towhee, but she shared her warmth and hoped it would help.
