Raven's Watch how to be sexy with bugs in your teeth

Each step she makes away from the ridge is more painful and difficult than the last. Different scenery is the only thing that keeps her going, knowing she’s putting distance between herself and her wretched brother. Her jaw clenches, which seers pain through each and every muscle. Mallaidh has been in fights before, defended herself and others, but she’s ever had one take every ounce of her physical and mental energy.
 
The paradise that is Raven’s Watch is hardly appreciated, staring down at the ground as she makes a sluggish attempt to find water. Each shrill caw of a bird above is a high pitched shriek in her head, causing her to wince at a new throb in her head. A large sigh escapes her and she sways to the right, leaning against the stone of the cliffside, slowly slinking to the ground. She knows she needs to get back to Drageda but she wants to stay behind and lick her wounds a little while longer on her own.
 
With everything she has left, she wishes for her sister Eirlys. Or Varinril. Or, hell, even Ingram would do.
