its a kodiak moment

“Mm” the apprentice grunted, squinting her eyes at ‘days’. Perhaps she could keep herself busy by building a base around the spring. Make barriers, keep predators out so they had a safe place to rest. It was only because she agreed with her thoughts… that she didn’t complain about ‘wasting time’. It would give her plenty of time to get a lay of this land. “then make preparations until then.” she grumbled, resigning herself to this. If she did think he wasn’t capable of fending for himself, she would have left him right after he used the muti on her. Zola hated downtime. She hated feeling useless when there was always something to do.

So, she focused entirely on making the tanned hide. Releasing it from the fire, the inside was charred nicely while the outside remained thick and warm from the fur. Looking to Eliphas, she'd nudge the still-warm pelt in his direction. He could use it as a blanket. Her own fur was not as thick as his, but her muscle kept her warm. She would have no problem falling asleep to the cold air as it soothed her open wounds.

Settling more comfortably on the ground, she would begin to curl up to rest. Though her wounds still ached a bit, Zola did not complain. “did family separate from you? Or lost them?” she did need to know the details of his people’s disappearance and why he was trying to find them. If anything, it would make for a good story to drift off to. She hadn’t known that when she came in from the west, she had been very close to Eliphas’ family. She had skirted around the packs and did not linger for long. She had never known there to be a ‘northland’ and was curious. So, she immediately made for the north, finding more of the strange white cold on the ground as she went.
