The quiet cold

Adarra smiled, as the woman began to move. She pushed herself into the woman, keeping the woman from becoming too cold. She began to lick the woman, trying to keep her warm. A soft smile lay on her face. But as the woman called her, her own hero she was surprised. But she only smiled. When the girl drifted to sleep, she knew she would need the sleep. She would continue to groom her before she knew that it was time to get some herbs, she stood up and pushed out of the den. She sniffed the ground and pawed at it softly. She caught a scent, of a plant she takes for herself most of the time. Weed, she smiled she needed this. She nipped the stems off right next to the branch of the plant. Taking only three leaves, these were for her Depression. She looked for something to put them in, there was a part of a deer hide, must have been from a cougar or bears kill. Well, she was going to use it. She set the leaves inside the hide and continued on her hunt for herbs. She smiled as she found a bush, yes it was! It was Valerian Root, she ran over and began to dig up the plant. She grabbed it, and set it down in she then chewed off all the roots. She then put them inside the deer, hide okay so not all the herbs died out. That's great. She sniffed the ground and went looking for some Lamb's Ear just in case, it always got to be too safe than being sorry. She found the sent of the plant, but there was no plant in sight. It must have been buried. She began to dig into the snow, she found the top of the plant so she began to dig around it. Finally, she got it uncovered. She nipped off about six leaves and placed them inside the hide. Lamb's Ear was used as bandages for smaller wounds, or when chewed could be used to help swelling and irritation in small wounds. She now needed to find Boneset, which was mainly used for cold and fevers. And muscle pain. She sniffed the ground and for a couple of minutes found nothing, then she almost stepped on the plant. She began to dig it out of the ground, once uncovered she bite of a branch of the plant and placed it in the hide. She walked back to the den and began to nudge the girl trying to wake her up.
