Swiftcurrent Creek Oh, we can burn it and leave

Mae had changed quite a bit in the aftermath of her head injury. She was subdued. She avoided @Akavir. Mostly, she kept close to @Jakub and @Nicodem, who now had the opportunity to enjoy an unprecedented softness from their sister. Not once had she bitten them, or smacked them, or otherwise tried to bully them since the tree incident.

But neither did she take much joy in the world. She was playing idly with some strange rock she'd found, a curious sunset-hued thing that seemed to glow under the sunlight. A piece of amber, left behind by a former packmate she had known from birth but would never remember. To Mae, it was only another oddity of the wilds. She pawed it back and forth across the ground, staring at it with dull eyes. There was appreciation in her for the beauty of it, but Mae was nonetheless very tired and very sad for one so young.
