Redsand Canyon Whatever makes you happy

After checking on Towhee and recleaning her wound, dressing it, Aquene knew she would need to venture further away from the canyon in order to properly restock her stores. With it had come the request of her husband to escort her. She held hope that the days journey south, despite the dangers that Kallik had clearly faced, could yield a bounty for the healer and limit other expenditures away from the canyon where Dimitri no doubt still lurked.
 
She had tried to reserve herself to the bounds of Mereo as much as possible, but with Malila gone, that was simply not possible nor realistic. Ruenna was pregnant and thus the only other with significant plant identification knowledge was down for the count. She would never ask the Matrona to take such a risk as leaving the territory while expecting. She didn’t even like doing it when the woman wasn’t expecting due to the nature of her injury and pain. She had been sleeping at her husband’s side after a long night of simply going at it like the crazy kids they were when he was nibbling and whispering in her ear. She let out a groan, simply not having it this time.
 
“Just a little longer.” She pleaded with the tiredness seeping into her voice. Just five more minutes wouldn’t hurt, right?
