Otter Creek Falling to pieces

"It's a little bit weird," she commented, but rather than insulting Ty further, she chose to leave it at that. Pura had been much the same way—never bothered by anything or, if he was, keeping it all hidden inside.

She was called to fondly remember the cave they found way back when in Blacktail Deer Plateau, hidden in the depths of her former birthing den. Although her memory was warped enough that she scarcely remembered how big the opening was, she shook her head. "We're probably too tall," she guessed, "but maybe from the other side? There was another way in, right?" They'd gotten out somehow, but she could barely remember if that opening had been any larger.
