The gentle golden Hattori girl stepped carefully over the squelching mud. Her dainty ivory toes found purchase over the twisted and knarled trunk of an ancient fallen oak. She had noticed the healer's and crafters' stock of porcupine needles and pins was getting rather low. Without a word to anyone, she decided to restock them herself. She had seen the healers use them a time or two but had not used one herself yet.
The dripping wet off the bright greening trees fell around her as she lifted her ebony nose to the sky. She took a deep breath, she could have sworn she had just scented the prickly beast around here before, but the wet and the mud must be hiding its scent.
Hmm... She hadn't seen tracks of a porcupine before, she didn't know what to look for if she did find them, even if the mud holds tracks well. The wind picked up briefly and sent a cascade of drips off the leaves and over her fur, making her draw in a sharp breath as the cold water slithered into her light silky fur, making her suddenly shiver and shake her fur out. Which in turn made her lose her precarious footing with a foot landed in the wet mud with a squish and a quiet yelp.
She sighed. Not much for it now, she continued to carefully pick her way over the growing ivy, not caring as much if her feet got muddy anymore. Her nose hovered over the plants and rotten wood to see if she could catch the scent.
