Swiftcurrent Creek bead water

Arlette was kicked out by Arric. Perhaps it was good for her to just be her, and not just a mother. Though she did struggle to be away from her little ones. She quickly went for a drink. The sunlight coming down on her back was rather nice. She took gulps of water. She was a little dirty from laying around in the den but she didn't want to be all wet when she returned. Maybe she should find something to eat.

Right at that moment she saw Muskrat. A welcome distraction. She noticed the hare she had in her mouth and realized she was rather hungry. She should find a cache after saying hello. She seemed to be lost in thought. Hello Muskrat! Arlette greeted.
