raccoon easily returned the smile moose offered her, happy to leech off the other man's body heat and easy companionship. she could faintly pick hound's shouting over the rapid pattering of raindrops against the few leaves left in the branches above them, and almost felt bad that she had picked huddling away over helping with the tent. almost, as she knew that if she attempted to help, she'd be a hinderance more than anything. she was far more interested in discussing anything and everything with her family than actively accomplishing a task, and it was difficult for her to focus on something with so much sensory input at once. just focusing on the echoes of hound's booming timber, the occasional ripple of thunder across the sky, the feel of mud beneath her feet and moose's quieter words was a little intense. though the contact between bare skin and the earth was usually grounding for raccoon, the slip and slide of riverbank mud was just another distraction in the moment.

"my bread's good, or, well, as good as wet cheese bread can be, you know? bear's doing his best with what we've got but i can't expect a four course meal when the rain doesn't look like it's gonna let up anytime soon. my bet's it'll last until tomorrow morning. hopefully it ends before then, i need to cleanse some of my things and i need moonlight for it. cloudy skies really mess with the energies."

the brunette sighed, tearing off another hunk of her roll as she stared at the tumultuous river just feet away. it was hard to make out the rushing water in great detail, considering how quickly it had gotten dark with both the shorter days and current weather, but she could smell the mix of rotting leaves and wet river stones. raccoon chewed thoughtfully, mind tumbling down yet another winding path as she considered her upcoming rituals. some of them required heavy lifting of fallen tree branches and stones that what muscle she did have couldn't support on her own. perhaps she'd enlist moose and bear to help her set up the altars. the last few bites of roll went quick, and holding her now empty hands up to the rain, raccoon allowed the water to wash away the crumbs with a sigh.
