Herbalists' Cache run, rabbit, run

@Star Eater

her sides heave. tears soak the soft fur of her cheeks, but she does not falter. eager as she is to leave, to run and find gjalla safe, star eater must know first. before the man draped in shadow wakes and sinks his teeth into her throat. she knows her place, knows that the hunter woman could punish her for entering uninvited, but she does so, and she does not wait for star eater to open her eyes before she speaks.

"sun eater. he tried to kill gjalla. i saw him. tried to..." she sets her jaw, blinking away the tears which threaten to spill. she will not wail like a child. not here."sun eater is laying in the snow now. not dead, but badly wounded. gjalla...i do not know the extent of her injuries. or where she is now."
