// takes place in the forest still!!
Now as they entered the thick of the forest, still hardly an end in sight, Hazecloud had felt useless in any sense of providing food or protection. Her paws were put to better use clearing makeshift camps where they stopped for the night and sniffing about for the occasional herb for Magiepiepaw's stores. However, she noticed the need for cobwebs to cover her wounds had become less and less urgent. The apprentice hardly needed to do more than check for infection, but even if the covering was obvious to wounds underneath she felt safer under its illusion. No one could see the damage talons had done to a pretty face, where skin had torn and fur would never grow again.
As she moved to drag moss off of some exposed roots some sap had caught into her fur, followed with it attaching to some stray leaves and dust. Hazecloud huffed, shaking it off but the sap was relentlessly sticky. A small, silty puddle had offered to loosen some of the debris that had stuck to her, and as she attempted to lick away the rest of what remained an idea popped itself in her head.
With the work of some fresh maple leaves and the remaining sap, Hazecloud worked to create her own harmless bandaging. Not useful for much other than shielding away the sight of the fresh scars across her left side, but that was all she needed. The clouded puddle beside her wasn't very useful for a reflection. The forests canopy didn't let in enough light and even then the overcast of clouds worked against her. She felt around with her paw, trying to smooth down the edges of the leaves though they looked a bit awkward.
"Come on... just work?" She muttered under her breath as she worked blind.
