The sickness had made her sleep in longer than usual. Through the night and through early morning which was normally reserved for heading to the gardens to check on the drying herbs and bring them back to Tsukiishi all before the morning sun had completed its rise. As the Empress slowly made her way out of the isolation den, she took a quick stretch to wake up still slumbering limbs - a long, drawn out yawn that brought a single tear to her pale eye in an attempt to wake herself up.
Still stuck in the early days of the illness, she was still suffering from a fever and sore throat (and unbeknownst to her, had lost her voice through the night). Newly mute for the day, she obliviously wandered away from the den to stretch out her legs. To keep them moving just enough so they wouldn't atrophy. A little stroll toward the small river for a drink would do no harm.
Even the small walk to the water's edge was tiresome. To drink the resting Empress laid down in the snow as opposed to dipping her head for a drink, wiggling herself closer to the edge until her head was close enough to lap it up while lazying about on the ledge. As she lay there with her belly in the snow, head hanging over the water to drink its cold, refreshing body, the cool tough felt good against her warm skin. She wouldn't want to stay here forever, but for now, it felt nice.
