Bearclaw Valley back on 74

@Vanja

she'd snagged a bur between her toes while a few others lined her forepaws in dotted chaos. it wasn't difficult removing the easily accessible ones, plucking them off and spitting them out in some ditch. but the one caught between her toes proved a challenge.

she was twisted in some odd manner to try and seize the nasty little bugger when the crunch of snow caught her attention. her ears swiveled toward the sound but her focus remained rooted on the bur.

just a little twist here and — ah ha!

the troublesome seed jerked loose, to which nephele quickly discarded. damn things were about as meddlesome as ticks were.
