All Welcome 
She stepped through the trees with something akin to reverence, for even beneath the dusting of white were the great scars evident. Fire had burned here, long ago, and yet the forest had yet to begin its recovery. The distant cry of a gull was the only sound beside her own soft footfalls, made shallow and soft by her own narrow frame, which had only become narrower still in her long months alone, away from the shore. Her waist tucked in farther than it ever had, and her ribs rippled along her short-cropped pelt. Hunger had become a close companion, and rarely did she pay heed to its burn, nor had she anything to douse it. 

She had found the coast, though were along it she was she did not know. Her gaze fluttered closed a moment, and for a moment she allowed the tiredness to surge over her. She had grown so very tired, and while the sea had sparked some long-buried flame, the scraps she found did little to appease the companion that had suddenly become far too demanding. 

Folding in on herself, she woman paused a moment, leaning heavily against the base of a scorched tree, already fading from life, yet seeming a little stronger than it's neighbor. Again did her lids fall closed, and her breath was labored as she sought to supply enough of the ocean-touched air to her wildly beating heart.

The burned forest to their border was a place Rosalyn did not often go; the ruin of it was not particularly cheering, and the ground had a quality not nearly so fine as walking on sand or healthy ground.  But every so often she'd traipse that way, feeling a mite more protective of this place than she had of Saltwinter.  There it had barely felt necessary to patrol; here she saw the prospect of a stronger crew and better home, and if she needed to fight a bit to protect that, she'd do so.

The wolf was a surprise, but immediately not deemed a threat because she was alone.  Rosalyn approached curiously, not coming too close, but near enough to see that she didn't look particularly well.

"You alright there?". She asked, likely shattering whatever peace the other found.
