All Welcome 
Confined to the upper levels of their home, Suzu spent her time either in the den in Fireblood Stand, or she would wander out through the forests where the great sequoias stood near the cliff's edge. When she walked, it was with her right paw help up, so she wouldn't put any weight on it. The jellyfish sting had left it blistering, and she wanted to keep it as clean as possible. Plus, it was unbearable to walk on a foot covered in blisters, but she managed well enough. 

She couldn't really go down to the beach, it was too far of a walk down through the tunnel and if it was slippery, she'd have a rough go of it on three paws. So without being able to learn more from the ocean, she would have to learn from the forest, instead. 

"Spruce, spruce, cedar?" It wasn't a game. She'd been learning to identify the trees by their height, their bark, and how their nettles were bunched or shaped. The ropey bark of the cedar smelled good. "Mmmm," She said, rubbing her muzzle up against the red, fragrant bark. The next tree had longer needles. "Pine..." She said, and lifted her head to look at how the needles were bunched. They were grouped in fascicles of three, and they were relatively short and pointy for a pine. "Three-needled-pine," She said, not knowing the proper name for a ponderosa pine. She continued along, skipping a step whenever her right front was needed, investigating and taking note of the differences from one tree to the next.
