relaxation station

Getting out of the pack lands for a bit was more than a breath of fresh air. Having been confined to that small hospital den caring for not only herself but two children as well had been tight quarters. She didn't want to stray far, both for herself and in case she was needed by Medusa or her children, but felt like the nearby willows would be a nice place to relax and perhaps enjoy the quiet as well.

Paws were already aching as she approached the cool water, eager to dip them in and enjoy the relief. She wasted no time in lowering her belly to the ground and allowing the water to soak into her dark forepaws, sighing a heavy sigh of relief as the coolness of the autumn water took away some of the pain, even if only temporarily. The sun was already beginning to fall and the sky was turning into lovely shades as it settled into dusk, though she knew she wouldn't be out long and anticipated returning at or just after sundown. All she needed was a little break, and if she was feeling good enough afterwards perhaps she would give the borders one last patrol.

Shaking the thought from her head however, she didn't want to think about that right now. All she wanted to do was enjoy the fresh air, cool weather, and soothing water. Some company wouldn't be frowned upon, but she was perfectly fine enjoying her peace in silence as well.
