Cricket stood from her seat in the corner and limped forward.  She’d refused the same help that Othala had granted Stormtiger, both for the injury to her leg and the damage she’d taken to her vocal chords when she’d had her throat slashed, in a time before he’d met her.

Oh, huh.

Does that make her sound like a cricket?

It would have taken a few days at most to restore her to peak condition, but she valued her battle scars too highly.

Yeah, some people do. That’s entirely fair.

“Up for this, Leah?” Hookwolf smiled.  Cricket’s injury to her leg slowed her down some, but the young woman was anything but a pushover.

True. She was quite the threat back in Buzz, and I could see her not letting the leg injury change that too much.
