Redsand Canyon exordium

last for tamar, just germ & arsenio now <3

the medicine was sweet even though she had no trust.

tamar accepted it willingly enough. she turned her head to cough away from ruenna, ears flattening in apology. the woman's limp caught her eye. despite the heaviness of the moment, she wanted to ask what had happened. but she chose not to, or rather another cough chose this for her.

tamar folded her paws beneath her chest. the tickle in her throat did not hoarsen it again. the taste of whatever she had been given still gently filled her mouth. "i am grateful to be here. thank you."

it was all she would would say. eventually the young wolf's eyelids drooped, and though she told herself she would stay awake, tamar could not. she soon slipped into an exhausted, black sleep.
