Bearclaw Valley oh holy ghost, how have i wandered so far from my home?

all at once the dull-coated woman's world is crashing down on her in waves; the red girl does not back down and soon there is another, running towards her with gnashing teeth.  and between all of it, there is him.  she is outnumbered three to one, and all of her opponents were packmates.

her breath hitches in her throat, steps halting entirely as her gaze darts axiously between the trio, and the only thing that can escape her lips is a quiet, subdued xan... before she turns heel and tears off from the valley that has begun to suffocate her, missing entirely the interaction between xan and laurel.
