Sun Mote Copse Time after time

Today was the day, though she didn't leave at dawn as planned. In fact, it was getting close to noon and Sugar still hadn't even met up with Bronco yet. She'd barely slept the night before, a case of nerves suddenly hitting her. She knew she wouldn't be going far, nor staying away too long, yet the reality of it hit her: she had never been away from her family and home for any stretch of time besides that once (and that was a godawful memory). Sugar truly wanted to learn all she could from Raven but the anxiety delayed her, particularly in the form of turning her stomach sour.

She had just thrown up in a nearby bush when someone called her by name. Sugar scrubbed a paw at her mouth, kicked some dirt and snow over the mess, then moved forward to meet Fennec. "Hey," she greeted with some surprise, the pleasant sort. "I'm here. What's up?"
