Healing or causing wounds today

The hot springs were a lovely idea and Tove has looked forward to the warm waters. She is an older woman and that, coupled with the bear attack, has left her with constant aches and pains. Her bright colored body sinks into a deep pool, a rough, content sigh pushing past her lips. Kotori moves to a shallower pool and scents the air while she sinks further into the warm depths.

It is only when a grizzly saunters out of the nearby bushes that Tove releases a grumble of displeasure. Ko quickly hops out of his pool to engage it while the older wolf takes a moment to climb out of the deeper depths.

Soaking wet, sulfur-scented water dripping from her fur, Tove rushes the grizzly, growling her anger for having been interrupted. She charges it straight on, ducking under paws to launch up at its face and grab a mouth full of its cheek. It roars and stands, cheek marred with wounds and blood. The older wolf is already gone, racing away to turn around and square up with it.
