Heron Lake Plateau First storm

No problem! 'Grats on hitting 3 grand finally! Wrapping up. :)

Raven gently prodded Wildfire's throat with her nose, detecting no elevated temperature, redness, or unusual scent at the site but definitely noticing some small degree of swelling beneath the surface. After several moments' examination, she sat back with a furrowed brow and chewed her lip. It always bothered her when someone presented her with an issue she couldn't immediately diagnose, and it bothered her even more now because this wasn't just any wolf, it was Wildfire. Shaking her head, she commented, "I'm not really sure what's going on here but definitely keep an eye on it. If it gets worse, come back to me or send me a messenger and I'll come to you."

She poked at it a little more just to be certain, but coming up empty-handed again, she just confirmed what she said the first time and they continued on their stroll, the conversation picking back up where it had left off earlier. After a time, the visit came to an end and Raven bid her sister an affectionate farewell as they parted ways. As she watched Wildfire's autumn form fade into the distance, she had no idea that this was the last time she'd see her alive and well.
