Phoenix Maplewood the seventh horcrux

Maaaaaybeeee @Sebastian or @Aviana? Other tags for reference, but AW!

Things were getting better. Her leg, namely, but other things as well. Although she and @Desdemona did not talk much, the other girl was still a companion of sorts, and her presence helped soothe the burn of loneliness. Her infrequent chats with Aditya and slightly-more-frequent run-ins with Kasatka also helped to sustain her, but she needed them less now that she was a little more able to move around.

Her days, as they had been in Moonspear, were soon filled with border patrol and pup corraling. Although she prefered not to interact with them physcially unless it was Kasatka or her personal favorite, @Timberlake, she felt as though her looming presence was deterrent enough for some of them. For the others, she simply kept her eyes out. They were not her pups, but that didn't mean she wanted to see them hurt.

Today, she was lingering near where the children often played, patrolling the outskirts of the area for the scents of any straying children. None of them would be getting kidnapped by bears on her watch.
