The Heartwood corrupted lungs

maybe @Heph, if she decided to stick around after the meeting for a bit? anyone else is welcome to join! :)

Atka drew in a sigh as she settled by the stream that bordered The Heartwood. Laying herself down, she pushed her back legs out from under her, keeping them sideways and looked over the distant meadow. She took this moment to ease the racing thoughts in her mind. Atka wasn't questioning her decision to stay with Dreven but was still wondering what things would look like if she had continued to travel northwest with Heph. The frustration also still lingered, she didn't understand what they were trying to salvage at The Heartwood, or The Forsaken.

Atka had not been seeing Dreven as much as she'd like, they'd both been busy trying to build caches. While she hadn't had much luck at large game, she still brought back what she could. Resting her head on her paws she still stared ahead as she thought. Regardless if she had no idea what they were doing in this forest she would stay and she would hunt, she knew what she signed up for at the start and she would gladly continue. It didn't matter if she liked this forest, she liked Dreven. She would do whatever she could to keep him happy, and that made her happy.
