Swiftcurrent Creek walk the line

Bazi came to from her first good night's sleep in days, and felt a thousand times better for it. She allowed herself the luxury of a lazy morning, stretching and preening in the privacy of the Womens' Glade, where she took some time to reflect on what life would be like without Tuwawi and Njal. She could scarcely imagine losing the former. Even imagining it made it feel as though a hole had been punched through her chest. Not ready yet, Bazi thought, drank her fill of water, and made her way swiftly to the river's edge for a breakfast of white meat.

She found Kaskara there, basking in the August sunshine. The dark warrior seemed fit and healthy again after her sudden expulsion from.. from where, exactly? Bazi had it in her mind to leave Kaskara to her sunbathing, but curiosity changed her course. She sped up to a gallop, slowed on a approach, and came to a stop perpendicular to the seated female. "Hi," she chirped with a few brisk wags of her tail. "So.. you came at a bit of a dramatic time. Have you eaten today? I'm starved." It was going to take some time to get used to light conversation - especially as this was Scimitar's sister, which meant not only making a good impression as a leader, but also as a potential sister-in-law.
