Biding my Time

I'm gonna wrap this up and archive it b/c of pack stuff. ^__^ I'm gonna take the liberty to PP Kipling and say she told Tuwa her name, if that's okay with you - if not let me know and I will amend.

The women had a brief conversation following the bobcat's assault. Kipling was the enigmatic woman's name, and Tuwawi had was gracious in her thanks. If it weren't for her, she might have been mincemeat by now. After a brief time chatting together, the women went their separate ways. The ember continued towards the mountain's height, but stayed acutely aware of any lingering nasties, especially places marked by the native predators; bear, cougar, or lynx. Eventually the scents faded, though Tuwawi's caution did not, yet she persevered and continued to chart the mountain.
