Bitterroot Valley room to make a big mistake

For @Sega but feel free to invade!!! I am happy with anyone.

It was not long after her reunion with Elowyn that Angel set off in search of the chief. She carried the elk skull toward his sleeping place, slung uncomfortably over her back once more. It was easy to imagine the agony of being speared by one of the sharp antlers — she'd come close to it a few times both in the hunting of this elk, and in carrying it home!

She took in all the new scents and admired the landscape as she walked, taking any excuse to take her time. Part of her wanted to tuck tail and return the skull to her own den, where she could pretend it had always meant to go.

But she brought it to his sleeping place and arranged it there quite obtrusively. He would not miss it, and neither would anyone else.

She thought of calling for him, then. Instead, she turned as if to walk away.
