she really, truly, hadn't meant to be gone so long.
but there was only so much sitting around in a den she could handle. the babying, the medicine.
she had thought that if she just...got up and brought something home, they could all carry on. pretend she hadn't been mauled across the face by a coyote. the goal had been so simple.
she'd find something kickass to tell or bring to @Tierra and life would go on. instead she had overestimated her capability with a sudden half-lack of sight. not to mention the conditions of winter alone. god, how had she become so fucking stupid.
but the snowing had ceased long enough for her to make good pace and now the snowy edges of a lake welcomed her. which...hey, that was familiar. like she had been here, seen here. she looked around, familiar slopes.
a barking cry of relief.
she wasn't done yet, but this sure was close.

FUCK! YES!
