Noctisardor Bypass pins n needles

the doctor is in! just one other, please. :)

Fiona settled in as well as she could once she had dropped off her portion of the supplies at what the locals called "The Pharmacy." She steered clear of the whelping den, preferring to wait until the smell of birth had at least worn off a little bit before getting too close. The witch learned the names of their hierarchy, a play on the trees that scattered their home. She was fond of that. It reminded her of Greenroot in a lot of ways. In fact, the whole place did. The hollow had been fine, but it had always felt so closed off from the rest of the world—likely a reflection of Anselm's inner feelings, come to think of it.

She would need to find a place to set up her tincture, which she began doing by digging out a small pool next to Tealwater Creek, not far from The Pharmacy itself. There, she dropped in the stalks of medicine, then rolled a rock on top of them to make sure they didn't get recaptured into the flow of water. It was nowhere near strong enough yet, but in a month's time, she would feel comfortable giving up her spot at the hollow.

Satisfied with a job well done, she sent Prowler off to find a safe spot to hide so the newly deigned Ash could relax and not worry about anybody coming to kill her little friend.
