Ocean's Breath Plateau The Moon on the Waves is Hazy as the Heavens

Heph wandered as night fell over the territory. She would sleep soon, she said. And yet she felt herself restless, paws itching. She wandered by the edge of the plateau, so seh could see out even as she felt the earth pasisng her by, breathed in the ocean air, and listened to the waves. That sound. She missed it when she was away, had not realized how used to it she had grown. And yet that night they failed to lull her to sleep. Though her leg pained her she was resolute, and did not lay down to rest. In time.

forward dated to after the hunt! for @Matteo but all welcome

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Matteo lay exhausted on the old badger pelt he had grown fond of. It was times like these where he felt intensely grateful for Raiyuk and his family for providing him with somewhere warm to sleep and recover, especially after the hunt and journey home had sapped nearly all his energy.

Despite the discomfort, he welcomed the burn of his muscles for he knew it was a sign he was growing stronger by the day. And with it grew his confidence too. 

No matter which way he tossed and turned, however, he could not ignore the dull pain that hugged his hip, slipping out of the lodge to find comfort on the fresh ocean air. It was then that he spotted a familiar figure watching the waves, curiosity drawing him to her side. "Hey, Heph," he greeted quietly. "How are you holding up?" He hadn't had much of a chance to check in with her after her accident, but it was good to see her up and about.

Heph heard the approach of another but her posture softened a slight grin on her face when she answered truthfully. "Well as can be expected." But she glanced over him, not ignorant to his own injury. "And you? More exciting than maybe you wanted the hunt to be but you did well." A slash of humor across her lips but she asked earnestly. Chakliux and Raiyuk had taken the young wolf into their lodge but she still felt responsible too for his well-being.
