Swiftcurrent Creek rocky waters

Paarthurnax had spent the entirety of the morning scouting Swiftcurrent territory in search of plants that she could store away for the cold season, and mapping out the best spots to find her most common ingredients. So far she'd stocked up on a variety of goods: several types of berry that could be consumed for digestive issues, for pain relief, as anti-inflammatory. She'd placed leaves of different trees and bushes out to dry, as well as barks and roots. These would serve her well when the Winter months came around which, although they seemed some time away, would be upon them sooner rather than later.

She gave up when she grew hungry, and head toward the territory's namesake to seek a meal for herself. Fish had been something she'd learned to enjoy over a time, although there were a select few species that she found palatable. What she found on her arrival, however, was the crouching form of the sterling outrider, as he lowered to drink from the water's surface. The crimson beauty smiled softly. She had a lot of time and fondness for Shadow, who'd so kindly taken the time to make her feel welcomed despite Swiftcurrent's tension among the ranks.

"We've got to stop crossing paths like this," the long-legged medic chirped as she loped merrily to close the distance between herself and Shadow, and she sidled up alongside him to gently bump her rusty shoulder to his own silver one.
