Rising Sun Valley one way ticket

@Scimitar - Not sure where you are with the fight so you can pre-date this if you want, or we can wait. :D

Bazi had said nothing yet to Paarthurnax, and it was eating at her. She shared her every woe with the desert mother, and to withhold something so crucial was driving the young wolf to insanity as she played with the young family and tended to their needs.

Over the past half turn of the moon, Bazi had been plagued by an undercurrent of irritability. In her weaker moments, she withdrew to weep and rage in the relative privacy of Wapun Meadow, hiding among the wilted reeds until the tide dissipated and she regained control over her emotions. Her thighs ached, and she was either peeing constantly or retaining ocean's of water - never something in between.

Sometime soon, she and Scimitar would depart to find a new home. Bazi dreaded it. Every time she imagined taking up residence on a distant mountain, she saw a life in the company of lynxes with no friends to speak of. Still, she wanted it - some part of her wanted it.

Bazi prowled the northern border of the Creek, far enough from the heart of the territory for it to count as claimed. Their scent was weak here, and she could smell the fading trails of more than one non-resident. In the east, the sun was rising behind a grey curtain.
