Duskfire Glacier from the endless dream

Yikes, perhaps I shouldn't have joined the other thread. :D Maybe we could say that Bazi needs a few strength-gathering days? I'll assume that, but we can change it as we go along!

It had been decided that Bazi and the Swiftcurrent wolves would remain for a few more days - the former because every day saw her strength improve significantly, and the latter three because they, too, needed rest. And it seemed proper.

The Swiftcurrent trio set up camp outside the pack's borders. Bazi remained within Duskfire proper, having promised Njal to spend time with Maera before she left. But today, the growing girl was looking for trinkets to fill her peculiar little lair, and Bazi was alone. She welcomed Kaskara's howl, moving to greet her at a slow, uneven trot - but still a trot.

Fifty yards away, the overzealous patient had to slow down. "I can run!" she exclaimed breathlessly to her once packmate, as though she had just crossed a thousand leagues at full pelt. Her voice was still hoarse. It seemed to have plateaued at 'bad infection', and made her sound older than she was.
