Novella had been so exhausted as of late, and yet sleep had only continued to evade her, driving her mind and body further into a miserable state of exhaustion and her waning appetite hadn't helped much either. Physically it seemed that there wasn't anything wrong with her though clearly there was some problem, something affecting her and seizing control of her life.
Herbs and time seemed to be helping her, sleep had gotten easier and her appetite had begun to increase. She wasn't quite her usual self still of course, further time was needed for that though an improvement was becoming obvious, perhaps clearest to her mate and children. Poor Fate and Luck hadn't had the care they deserved from their mother though, and such a realisation only made her feel all the more terrible, it was a thought better kept away from her mind as she stove to get over whatever had overcome her.
This morning she had ventured for a walk to the falls, sat quietly listening to and watching the cascading water. It wasn't the first outing, she had started to try get out of the den a little more now, finding that it was indeed helping her. Keeping herself cooped up had done no good at all she realised now, and whilst Sorrel was fairing rather well with his studies, quite the hermit himself at times, she wasn't sure that such a prescription had ever entered his mind at all. It was helping though and that was all that mattered. Mentally for whatever reason she still suffered, but physically she was coping.
