Hideaway Strath IV

Derg can be skipped after like 8 hours of no reply lol

 

His wounds were certainly brutal.
The bear had done a number on him. The four gouges ran from near the centre of his crown and across his face above the eye, disappearing where the claws disconnected from his cheek.
The wounds reappeared at the bottom of his neck, missing his vitals, and running down his shaggy shoulder. Arlette had cleaned him up well enough though, the blood cleaned and wounds packed tight with whatever medicine they had.
He was very lucky.

Derg insisted on border patrol, even just for an hour.
Simmik wandered towards them, and he followed at his own pace.
He didn't expect her to greet a stranger. But not a saviour. A refuge seeker.
Derg lingered in the shadows, sinking where he stood in the snow.
Watching.
@Kynareth Deagon was probably following them both too.
