She was thankful, of course, yet the paranoia that remained within her questioned how long it would be until her luck would run dry.

She breathed deep the crisp mountain air and lowered her forelimbs to better stretch stiffened muscles, before seating herself nearby to set about grooming the unkempt beige fur of her undersides.
