Red Cold River

Lydia was growing used to living alone and with time the memory of her captivity faded though it always lurked below the surface. The coming of spring and warmer weather had helped to ease her mind as well. It was just much easier to feel happy with the world in bloom and brilliant color, beneath a warm sun, with herb hunting at its peak to give her focus. Today she was searching for lamb's ear. She was planning on doing a lot of traveling and it would be good to have some soft bandages ready for her paws which could easily become raw and blistered as she travelled.

She was searching for the familiar scent and the recognizable fuzzy leaves when she noticed another young woman who also appeared to be searching for something. Another healer perhaps? Oh, she hoped so. It would be nice to talk with another wolf of her discipline. "Hello there, out enjoying the nice weather?"
