Sand everywhere

Viviane had poked her nose out of Valhalla in a rare venture outside of the borders, though she hadn't gone far. Goodness knew she needed to get out more - even she was starting to feel a bit isolated there. She had gone looking for the desert-dwelling plant that soothed burns with the gel inside its fat spikey leaves. She didn't know if she could find any, since it was early in the year and things had been.. odd... from the volcano. But she had begun her first heat cycle and it was making her anxious and restless, and so she had needed to get out before she got snappy at someone and caused bad feelings, so it was more an excuse anyway. That and she knew that some of her pack members were planning to venture closer to the volcano again, and there was still a great deal of danger from wildfires and earthquakes in that area so she thought it would be a good idea to seek out anything that might help. She had decided to take her search around the red rocks nearby, but had found herself needing to go further afield than expected to skirt the outside of another pack's borders. They weren't Ashen's usual lands, but she didn't want to take any chances so she kept her distance until she reached the open desert just beyond the rocks. She kept a wary eye on the rocks, but otherwise allowed herself to be engrossed in the search. It would take her mind off her heat, anyway.
