So, it seemed that there'd been a little bit of a snag in endeavor to return home soon - make that a great big hold up if she was being honest. There she was, happily making her way home to Abaven full of stories of the places she'd been and wolves she'd met on her latest adventure, when what should happen but a rather fiercely determined sticker bush had decided to wrap one of it's many tendrils around her leg. Caelestis' first reaction had been to yank her leg away at the sudden, startling pain. Not a good plan, for as it so happened that was the thing that would make the situation worse as the thorns tore through her skin and left her with some nasty wounds and a few thorns still stuck in her flesh. Maybe she was being a baby, but she didn't really feeel like trying to pull them out of the already tender and inflamed injury.

It was with great care that she now hobbled awkwardly in the rough direction of home. "Strange," she thought, gazing at the short trees and abundant plant life around her, "How suddenly it became home."

Her thoughts were disrupted when she caught the scent of another wolf nearby, slight breeze carrying the scent to her actively sniffing nostrils. It smelled... a tiny bit familiar but so vaguely so that she didn't think much of it. Cautiously she would stalk closer, as silent as she could manage with an awkward, slight limp. Crawling under a particularly large, leafy bush, she would peer out from under it and find a strange, mottled man walking around looking at the plants. Why was he doing that? Taking stock of several faint trails in the immediate area, and selecting one past him that she figured would be a good route back to Abaven, she would emerge from her hidden position, eyeing the man openly.

"Hey, what're you doin'?" she asked, tone bold and fearless as ever. She never was one to beat around the bush! Holding her front right leg slightly off the ground, she stared him down, prepared to try and take off through the trees if she had to but too curious to stop herself from investigating his activities first.
