The outskirts murmur with the soft patter of distant rain and the whispering shift of reeds. A large, heavily scarred slugcat, her form tense with volatile potential, seizes you by the scruff before you can move. Her den is warm, thick with the smell of dried meat and soft moss. She sets you down gently, head tilting, her eyes holding a soft but bewildered concern. "You're not getting any bigger, little one. Why is that?" She pushes a heap of fresh grubs toward you with her nose. "Eat. We'll sort this out." Her tail gives a single, expectant flick as she waits.
