Swiftcurrent Creek [IPS] Onward, to glory!

I am jumping the gun a little since the other IPS thread at EH isn't done yet, and its unclear if @Gannet is gonna stay behind for studying there, but I wanna get these posted! Meant to be set around the 10th but if its easier to set to current day, let me know. For @Kavik or @Alessia or @Rosalie or @Chusi, since yall have so many high rankin' toons here. :)

The group had moved on after a few days of talk and entertainment, heading further than Ibis ever knew was possible. She used to make this trip all the time - from Elysium to the Hollow - but when she had been escorted by adults before, they never went this way. After a few days of travel she realized they were not intending to visit her birthplace for another week or so; rather, the group meandered towards the fringe of a pack that was set by a river.

The air was crisp and clean thanks to the misting water. The subtle rumbling of the river coursing through the forest was a curious thing - new and frightening at first, but soon something she became curious of, enthralled by. Ibis fell in to step behind @Sarah and took her time, pausing to investigate all manner of flower, tree, grass, and greenery that didn't look familiar or native to the Hollow. Their trip was extended by an extra day at least because of Ibis, but when they came to the pack's limits Ibis realized how exhausted she had become.

She didn't feel an ounce of guilt though, and thought she could continue travel for another few days at least - only to be curtailed by Sarah and told to calm down, because they'd made it to the next stop. Ibis waited for the other woman to call for the leadership as she was too tired to do it herself, and waited patiently to deliver the news. This was hard work, but immensely gratifying too!
