Bearclaw Valley Says he’s broke

Stryx opened her mouth to explain that, hey, they'd just gotten back from a night raid — but that didn't feel right either. The stranger was being petulant. Cute, coy, but petulant. It took every ounce of her own willpower not to spit in her face and send her away.

Rather than do what instinct demanded, she shrugged and let the feeling pass. You know him? That was the only real question on Stryx' mind; it was rare for anyone to find this place, let alone call for the leader by name. It was the only thing Stryx could think.

She didn't expect an answer - and was already turning away from the pale woman. Lifting her chin, calling sharply for @Merrick to attend to this. It wasn't exactly in the job description of a physician... Then again, it could be ages before he'd hobbled his way over.

Stryx gave the woman a look but said nothing. Let her see for herself, if she was so keen.
