Hideaway Strath Traust.

She had been laying low as of late, the cause of which was beyond her control. The silver and fawn pelted female had been sticking to the opposite end of the territory, placing her quite a ways from the search party comprised of Towhee and Ruenna. Oblivious to their efforts now set in motion, Keyni stuck to her plan of staying in one place.

The cause for such unusual behavior of the normally composed, wise wolf? A painfully swollen right front paw. Weeks ago, while she had been digging for herbs, she had accidentally disturbed a hidden wasps nest in the ground, angering the vivid black and yellow insects. Normally a sting or two wouldn't have posed a problem, but blast of searing pain engulfed her paw like it was on fire. Multiple pinprick like dots peppered her now raw, reddened skin, leaving her paw swollen like a balloon. It was painful and difficult to walk on, so she chose to wait until the swelling went down. Towhee and Ruenna would find her soon enough, if they found the trail of haphazard paw prints imprinted in the mud.
