Sunbeam Lair like the river, you just come and go

Her injuries had been healing thanks to the attention of @Augustine. Even though things still hurt and were hard to manage, she wasn't completely useless at hunting and there was the possibility that she might even survive the run in with @Siarut. The cat was alive, at least, which was more than she had thought she might be a couple of weeks ago.

She'd pushed herself on back toward her old headquarters of the Sunspires. She knew now that no wolf packs claimed the area, and so she felt it might be okay to start venturing back near it. She had a significant limp. She had grown quite skinny, though not emaciated. Her ribs showed easily through what should have been a muscled, thick body. The likelihood that she would survive the winter seemed to dim every day that she spent resting and healing. Her body smelled of the ill, especially since the strange herbs that Augustine had applied clung to the skin. Umi had been unable to bathe effectively for some time, so the odour of wolf and plants stuck.

In the cavern, she thought she might be safe.
But the scent of a wolf entered, and it was not Augustine. When that happened, she silently threw herself into a corner of the cavern into a ball. However, the scent from her was strong, obvious, and thick with illness.
