Alyssum winced as she lost her footing on a slippery rock that was covered in melting ice, cursing under her breath and taking in a sharp breath as her slip twisted her shoulder; at the least, she knew she was nearing the springs. Pains shot up straight to her shoulder wound that was covered in a makeshift gauze of cloth, since it wouldn't stop bleeding after her encounter with Toklo, but now it was slowly scabbing; she had the protection so that she would not get an infection from the cold. Just two days ago, some crazy wolf ran into Inferni like he owned the place, and with her trying to be the hero, chased him off, but she received probably more wounds than the intruder did. Though her cuts were covered under her fur, they still lightly stung from being exposed to chilly air, but Alyssum knew they were too tiny to get a major infection, but she did blanketed her shoulder, since she did not want her training to be hindered by something she gotten from chasing out someone from Inferni.

Though she was in Secui form during the fight, she shifted down to her Lupus form to make the wounds and pain more bearable, even if it meant healing to be a more difficult task. It took her a few hours just to tie the cloth around her shoulder, and she had to lick the rest of the smaller claw and bite marks clean. She would have to stay in her Lupus form for a while, since it would probably disturb the injuries if she changed into Optime or Secui, to much of her discontentment. Ever since she left her prejudice pack, she never changed back into Lupus but that one time in Halifax, but that was it. It reminded the coyote woman too much of her former past, and she had been thinking too much of her memories there lately, and even now she had to push away her discomfort to not take another trip down memory lane.

Even if she was hurt, Alyssum was not going to break her promise with Itzal. They had met only three days ago, but they had gotten along so well, the both of them decided to meet again to hunt. She had been resting in the caves, skipping training so that her wounds would heal properly without them being ripped any further, so she was well rested for the hunting party. She soon saw Itzal, but in a form she did not expect: Optime. She quickly darted out of sight before she could be seen and shifted into her bipedal form, though with a little pain from her shoulder wound and despite the oath she made not to shift while her injury healed; she did not want to make Itzal feel bad, or herself feel discouraged, either.

Luckily, the cloth she had used also a white shirt, which was tied with a pair of jeans. Though she wasn't expecting the sudden decision to shift, Alyssum always seemed to be prepared for these kind of things, and quickly dressed. The only disadvantage was that she could see her shoulder wound in Optime form clearly, and the four claw marks that would stay as scars seemed even more bolder than in Lupus form. Shrugging it off and tugging the sleeve of the shirt over her shoulder, the young woman bounced over to Itzal. "Hey, Itzal,"she greeted happily, giving him a wave with one of her hands, though she did not smile, but had a friendly expression on; since the fight, she had been less smiley.
