The Long Way Back

She could tell from Cerberus' reaction that he wasn't nearly as concerned as she was about the snake or snakes that could be around here and she wanted to gawk at him. There were snakes! She felt like that was pretty worth being concerned! Regardless, he told her to come on and immediately started leading her back toward home which solved the problem one way or another. She got a little bit of a running start before she leaped over the water to join him on the other side, not wanting to touch the water at all in case there was swimming snakes in there. She probably would have been running back to the pack if it wasn't for Cerberus next to her, but since he was here she kept herself to a trot to match his pace while trying to ignore the way it felt like her skin was crawling like a snake was still on her.
