Blacktail Deer Plateau Desolation

A low chuff at the entrance.
Sovereign raises her head slowly and with hesitance.
At first, she does not answer, for she knows who is outside.
But eventually she lets out a sort of rumble-chuff sound that might've been an acceptance of his company, not that she felt her word here would matter.
She figured he would come around, whether she wanted to face him or not.

The child would not rise to a sitting position, she didn't feel she could, with how she hurt.
But she was attentive, watching, and inquisitive.
