Things that go bump in the night

After speaking with Irilyth, it seemed that her dear healer was feeling the pressure of winter on her herb supply so even though she knew it was a bit of a long shot, she figured she might go to the near by thicket and see if there were any of the dense foliage that was sheltered enough from the cold to harbor a few herbs. If nothing else it got her out and moving a bit. She had criss crossed through the rustling thicket many times before so she had a pretty good idea of where to start which was a good thing since the sun was already half way to the horizon by the time she made it to the tangled mess of bushes and trees. She'd only have a couple hours left of decent light so she had to move quick. Moving into the brush, she wiggled her way through some of the thicker patches of foliage and started searching through some of the areas where she had seen some useful looking herbs before. Before she actually managed to find anything helpful though, a sound caught her attentive ear and she peeked out through the near by trees, immediately on alert and waiting to see if the sound was just a passing animal or a predator that was bothered by her intrusion.
