Ella couldn't help but smile at Atreyu's suggestion. "Completely cougar - now that's a name with some bite!" she said with a laugh, appreciating the creativity. As she carefully worked the sinew into the collar, an idea struck her.

"You know," she began thoughtfully, "there is something else we could use from this forest. Have you ever heard of Ghost Pipe Mushrooms? They're rare, but they have incredible pain-relieving properties. After everything we've been through today, it might be good to find some. We could use them to help with the pain while we heal."

Ellara finished securing the sinew into the collar, ensuring it was sturdy. "Why don't we take a short break and see if we can find some nearby? They usually grow in shady, damp areas, close to decaying matter. If we're lucky, we might find a small patch. Just a few can make a pretty potent tincture."

She looked to Atreyu, her eyes bright with the prospect of another useful find. "It would be the perfect final touch to our day." With that, Ellara rose to a stand, wincing slightly from the lingering pain in her shoulder, but determined to continue their resourceful efforts.
