Stone Circle Well, I've been afraid of changing

for @Siarut
forward dated to 6/14 if that's okay

The second she felt she had the strength to make the journey to Easthollow, she set out from the mountains. She was still sickly thin. She had gained some weight of course, but it seemed to be molding back to her form at a glacial pace, even with all of her resting. It was partially due to her still diminished appetite; she had never been a good eater and now, she found it even more difficult to eat a full meal every day. If it hadn't been for the fact that her energy was also returning, she might have been worried, but she just chalked it all up to the healing process. 

Still, the journey had taken her twice as long as it normally would; instead of a two day journey, it had taken her four. She had to rest often, which was quite different from her usual travel behavior. Normally, she hardly rested at all, seeming to be filled with never-ending energy. Now, she felt the opposite, like her energy only lasted her for hours at a time. She had to stop and nap way too often, but she tried not to let it get to her. She would see Sia soon, and she would feel better about it all. 

How long had it been since she'd spoken with her brother? She might have wondered if he was still here if she hadn't been sure he would never leave his mate; that and she scented him along the borders as she drew near. She stopped once she was close enough to the edge of the territory and sent a long howl drifting out into the skies. Then she waited to see her bear of a brother trotting from somewhere within.
