Fiona dragged a large haunch of elk back to Rivenwood. The carrion had been old, but the temperatures had been cool enough to keep it from rotting. How it had died was anybody's guess, but the dry, gamey texture of the meat led her to believe it had been an old thing. She lugged the heavy meal toward Dawnleaf, dropping it off outside the den and collapsing beside it to make sure no scavengers would come take it away.

She'd thought long and hard about her brief meeting with Glaukos. Fiona wouldn't divulge the information to the others. What good would it do? Both Anselm and Etienne seemed to want the guard dog dead, but they would probably end up severely injured (or dead) if they made an attempt on his life. Fiona didn't want that for either of them. And she honestly didn't even want Glaukos dead. All she really wanted was to go back to the peace and quiet of the hollow.

@Prowler came to find her then, and Fiona shot the masked creature a tired smile. The familiar had brought her more herbs for dulling @Druid's painful injuries. Hey there, gal. You want a bite of this? she asked. Without waiting for an answer, Fiona gnawed off a bit of meat and tossed it to her helpful little friend. Dusk was settling in, and Fiona opened her mouth for a wide, exaggerated yawn, clicking her teeth shut when she was done before licking her lips.
