the baby that skaigona had found with sequoia was ailing.
milkmother might have said only to eat it, but discovering the young marmot and dragging it back to the rendezvous with her had inspired skaigona in a new way.
the haggard, tangled creature mewled weakly. the war-girl's brow furrowed, deeper and deeper, until she could wait no longer. she had wanted to prove to her sister that she too was capable of finding another bracelet, but this frightened her.
"it's sick," skaigona told @Druid, once she had located her sibling and lay down the baby marmot. 
unbeknownst to her, the days of being 'coddled' by a wolf cub, coupled with stress and a too-early departure from its mother, had already marked the little animal to pass.
"can you fix him?" druid spoke to snakes. surely she knew how to talk to these too!
