Big Salmon Lake the sore feet song.

Fin knew better than to truly believe that Blue wouldn't follow her, so really she probably should have just accepted the woman's company. But the truth was she was a little weary of company of any sort. The Blackthorn had a bit of an independent streak about her and while she truly had appreciated everything her friends at the Plateau had done for her, she was ready to rely on herself again. She had accepted far too much of their kindness, and she did not like to feel herself to be too much of a burden on others, nor did she necessarily enjoy the feeling of needing anyone but herself.

She whined an affectionate farewell to Blue before pulling herself up and continuing her journey. She knew Blue would be good enough to give her a head start, and this she was determined to make it as far of one as possible in hopes that maybe the woman would turn back and return home where she and her precious cargo would be safe.
