Embark
Dad's words seem to make everything better. The throbbing has yet to subside, but it isn't as bad now. Embark nods, head still placed firmly against his chest as he speaks.
"Keep it clean...no rolling in the dirt for awhile." This causes the golden girl to giggle a little bit. He knew she wasn't much of a "playing in the mud" type of girl. She gives him a shove with the crown of her head in protest to his joke (she is, of course, trying to be sad after-all).
Embark has a side-eyed view of the forest; minutes feel like hours as she awaits Deiti and mama to emerge from the forbidden trees. She hoped they would come back, and alleviate the anxiety rumbling throughout her small frame.
And then she sees her mother's patchy framework, with her sister trailing behind. She breathes a sigh of relief, and soon finds herself galloping towards the pair. "Deiti!" She shouts, tackling her sister to the ground. "Don't do that to me! You scared me!" She isn't thinking about the bite on her rump, or the forest behind them, she simply feels grateful for her sister's safe return.
