Tales in Taboo: Jenna and Gilly 9
Hey guys, this is the 9th Chapter in Jenna and Gilly's story. In this one the girls make a new friend. No real sex in this one but brings a little more depth to the girls families.
Winter is finally over and spring is bringing everything into glorious bloom. The plants and animals have been patiently waiting for the bounty of the new season and eagerly get their fill. Birds and other small animals dart here and there racing to make up for the weight lost in winter. You met Gilly along the new path as you have nearly every day since it was finished and have even started bringing Ellen, your little sister, along to learn how to forage in the mountain forests. The three of you wander through the trees pointing out edible plants to the little fox who eagerly snaps up everything to sniff and often eat. Ellen recognizes many of the plants from what you've been bringing home over the last few years and is also an avid snacker.
It isn't time for fruits and berries yet, but new grasses, leafy plants, and young shoots, are in ready supply. The youngest of the group bounds between Gilly and you in her light green dress as you each point out plants and explain which parts can be eaten readily, what needs to be done to prepare others, or what should be avoided entirely. You smile as Gilly teaches your sister about molt weed. Ellen has taken a liking to Gilly and seems very eager to learn from her especially. The little fox's tail wags happily whenever she's called over by the beautiful mare.
You sigh contentedly and look around, finding a young leeky plant. The plant is not edible but the root is one that Wix has you on the lookout for. The small bunny witch is still encamped in the tiny cave further up the mountain and, after some incessant questioning, explained that she was collecting various reagents for her potion making endeavors. Gilly and you volunteered to gather some for her, in exchange for a few interesting potions, and so have been on the lookout for a specific list of ingredients, and the leeky root was one.
You start to dig up the root and Ellen hops over to you, "What's that? Can we eat it?" You continue digging, "Not this one squirt, this one is for a friend." You look up and Gilly smiles knowingly. Ellen bounces over to a patch of short grasses, "Hey guys, I found some more wild onions!" The little fox stuffs several of the long pointed green shoots into her mouth, while picking some for your forage basket. "Good find, Ellen." Gilly affirms and the little fox beams, greens sticking out between her teeth. You managed to dig up the leeky root, similar in appearance to ginger, without breaking it and dust off the dirt. You look to see Gilly, gathering up the onion spouts, while Ellen skips back to drop a handful into your basket. You grab the younger fox's wrist in your dirty fingers and rub your cheek lovingly against hers, making her giggle. You let her go but before she can wander away she says, "Hey, who's that?"
Gilly and you look up to see a rather large figure heading vaguely towards you. The sun is still fairly low and somewhat in your eyes, but you can still see the figure shambling in your direction. "Ellen, get behind me." You order but the little fox looks on curiously. "Ellen!" you scold and she jumps, then dashes behind you, peeking from around your skirt. Gilly watches cautiously, picking up her forage sack in case you need to run, but then the figure stumbles, falling to its knees and palms. It heard you a looks up, "Please. Help me." It calls in a pained female voice. You share a look with Gilly and you all slowly approach the figure. As you get closer you see it's a young female Bovidan, an anthropomorphic cow. You've only seen a few as they have passed through your village, but never one with breasts so large.
You hasten your approach to the collapsed woman and get a better look at her. She is tall, maybe even taller than Gilly, with an hour glass shaped body. She has a predominantly black coat is a few white blotches, slim arms, a massive chest, thin waist, wide hips, and thick thighs. Her feet are black cloven hooves and a tail droops between her legs. She wears a plan tan skirt, but has no top, exposing her impressive breasts. Two rounded ears stick out on either side of her round head. She has long brown straight hair, a bit falling over her large brown eyes that wince in pain as you approach. Her snout is short and rounded with a pink nose giving her a lovely feminine appearance.
"What's wrong, are you injured." Gilly asks, getting to her side and kneeling. "It's my breasts, they're so swollen with milk, it hurts." You can plainly see milk dripping from her massive mammaries. "Wh-what can we do to help?" you ask. The cow woman groans uncomfortably, holding one of her bare breasts, "I know it may sound weird, but would you mind terribly sucking some of my milk out?" Gilly and you share a look. You haven't had milk since you were a baby and remember little about it but have seen your mother nursing your siblings enough to know the process. "Uhh." You hesitate. "It's quite safe, ugh, I just... there's so much, I feel like my breasts might burst." the cow woman groans. "I guess, I can, try." You offer and kneel in front of her.
"Jenna?" Gilly questions uncertainly but you ignore her. "Thank you sweet child." The cow woman groans, "Just... just suck on my teats, I'll do the rest." She says lifting up one of her bloated breasts. You feel Ellen's grip on your skirt tighten as you find the offered nipple, not long like a cows but just a pink nub similar to your own, and place the supple flesh between your lips. The moment you suck, warm liquid squirts into your mouth and you jump a little surprised and release your hold. As the taste registers you look up to Gilly, "It's good!" and eagerly suck some more. It's creamy, sweet, and wonderfully warm. Gilly sees your enthusiasm and shrugs leaning in to the other offered breast. The cow woman moans in obvious relief as you fill your mouth with her delicious milk and gulp it down.
"Can I try some?" Ellen asks the woman hopefully. "Of course little one, there's plenty to go around." She replies and you let your sister have a turn. "Mmm," Ellen smiles as she takes a drink. Gilly seems to be enjoying it too as she hasn't yet released her nipple, milk dribbling down her chin. The three of you take turns sharing the woman's two swollen breasts until you're all full and her chest looks a little more appropriate for her body. She sighs in relief, "Oh, thank you girls, I feel so much better now." Ellen burps laying back down on the ground. You rub your warm full tummy, "You're milk is wonderful miss..." "Oh, Bella, Bella Sweet, darling." "Well Miss Sweet..." "Oh, just Bella's fine sugar." "I'm Jenna, this is Gilly, and the little one is my sister Ellen." Ellen waves sleepily.
"I'm so very glad to have met you all. You really helped me, thank you." Bella smiles gratefully. "You make really good milk, Bella." Ellen puts in. "Delicious." You add. The cow woman's smile brightens. "If you don't mind me asking, do you always need to be milked like this?" Gilly inquires. "Oh, no, usually they don't swell up so much. You see, I just escaped from a dairy farm a little ways away. They'd feed us a potion that would make us produce far more milk than we normally would, then they'd hook us up to milkers and drain us every morning." Bella explains "Why'd they do that?" Ellen asks. "Well little one, they'd sell our milk, its good stuff and plenty nutritious." "You were a prisoner?" Gilly wonders. "Well, prisoner is a strong word hun. We were well cared for after all, and it does feel wonderful being milked, but after a time, I just wanted to leave. So I snuck out before the morning milking and have been walking since."
"Are there others who wanted to escape? Who was keeping you?" Gilly asks. You notice Bella's eyes floating to a spot behind you, "Oh, my sisters, maybe. They said they'd come with me but at the last second they decided to stay and let me see if there was anywhere we could go first." You look back and realize she is looking at your forage basket, "Are you hungry, Bella?" "Oh," she looks away, "No I couldn't, after you've already helped me so much already." Ellen gets up and races to the partially filled basket and brings it back. "It's ok, Gilly and Jenna are great foragers. We can find more." You take the basket and offer it to Bella, "Yeah, and you gave us so much of your delicious milk, it's the least we can do." "Oh, you girl's are too kind, really. Thank you." Bella accepts the basket and you all sit down as she eats some of the various grasses you've collected. Gilly adds some from her sack, and Bella looks to her gratefully, "Oh, Thank you dear. I haven't eaten since yesterday."
"We should take her to your house Gilly. It's closest." You advise as Bella eats. "Yeah, my parents'll know what to do." She agrees. "Oh, that's alright dears, I don't want to be any more bother." Bella says modestly. "It's alright, they're good people, they'll want to help." You offer. "Well, if you really think it'll be all right." "Yeah, Gilly's mom is really nice, let's go!" adds Ellen. "Alright then," Bella smiles, returning the basket to you. You all stand, Ellen taking Bella by the hand, and head to Gilly's.
Gilly and you walk side by side, while Ellen and Bella follow. The little fox unleashes a torrent of questions, which lets you learn a little about Bella's life, though only in short bursts as Ellen has a habit of interrupting longer answers with more questions. Bella and her two sisters were born to a herd of Bovidans. One night, when they were very young the herd was attacked by a pack of wolves. Her mother told Bella, the oldest, to take her sisters and run. She did and they never saw their parents again. They managed to find a small town where they were taken in by an old Bovidan. They took care of the man and his home by cleaning, cooking, and managing other chores. But the man lacked the finances to care for them all and had made plans to sell them into slavery. Before any of them could be sold, they fled the town. Bella and her sisters wandered for some time, generally avoiding settlements.
Being young, they didn't know how to care for themselves very well, but made due until they found the dairy ranch. Speaking with some of the other Bovidans there, the sisters were told it was a safe place where they would be cared for. Tired from travel, Bella and her sisters stayed, were kept fed, warm, and milked, by a family of humans. They were given potions to drink that would make their breasts swell with milk, which the humans sold to nearby towns to keep the dairy going. Swollen breasts were a small price to pay for the comfort and company of others of their kind. But as time passed, Bella wanted to leave and find a better life. Her sisters were hesitant but were eventually convinced to go as well. Unfortunately for Bella, they got cold feet on the morning of the escape leaving Bella to go on ahead alone.
"I do so want to go back for them." Bella goes on, "but I don't want to have to wander about like we did before." "Why didn't your sisters come with you?" Ellen asks. "Mmm, well, while we were bouncing for place to place, we ran into some incidents that may have made them weary of traveling." "Like what?" Ellen badgers. "Squirt, shut your noise hole. Bella, you can ignore her." you call back. "Oh, it's quite alright dear." Bella starts, and Ellen sticker her tongue out at you. "There was this time we ran into a gang of thieves. Horrible bunch they were. Used us for our milk, among other things. But we managed to escape shortly after but not soon enough..." she trails off. "Soon enough for what?" Ellen inquires skipping at Bella's side. "Oh, well that might be a story for another time." "Oh, I like your ears." Ellen bubbles. Gilly pipes up, "Ok, we're almost there, Jenna stay with Bella, I'll go get something to cover her up with."
You stay among the trees on the outskirts of Gilly's village while Gilly dashes for her home. Ellen has gotten Bella to sit down so she could touch her ears. "Ooo, there so soft, wanna touch mine?" Ellen asks offering her small pointed ears. Bella pets the little fox smiling, "They're very nice ears." "What are your sister's names?" you ask. "Chloe is my middle sister and Meena is my youngest, I think she might be about your age now." the cow woman answers. "I have two twin brothers. They're still babies." Ellen provides, "Your feet are like Gilly's but they're split. Did you hurt them?" "My no, I was born with them like that, all Bovidans are."
By the time you spot Gilly running back, Ellen is rubbing her little toes on Bella's cloven hooves, giggling. Gilly brings back a long cloth that looks like her mother may have made it. She hands it to Bella who wraps it over her shoulders, covering her bare chest. "My mom was in the garden, she's expecting us." Your mare informs you all. As a group you head to Gilly's log house, managing not to attract an enormous amount of attention. Gilly's mother, Hanna, is waiting by the front door.
She is a beautiful example of Gilly's people. Silver manes and blue eyed like her daughter, but where Gilly is a chocolate in color as her father, Hanna Greyfield has a peach coat with white blotches. She is lean and gracefully long limbed possessing a larger than average bust and gentle curves. She waves as you approach and Ellen dashes towards her. Ever since the new road was completed, you've taken Ellen to Gilly's a few times and your little sister absolutely adores Hanna. The lovely mare kneels down and catches the energetic little fox in a hug and Ellen promptly begins blabbing about Bella among other seemingly off topic things.
Gilly introduces Bella to her mother, you all have pleasant exchanges and are invited inside. There aren't enough chairs, so Bella and Hanna sit in rockers, Ellen sits in Hanna's lap, and Gilly and you sit on the floor together with your backs against the wall. Bella explains her situation while Hanna listens. As Bella ends her story Hanna nods, "Well, Ms. Sweet. I don't think it would be any problem at all if you and your sisters were to setting in our little village. There has been an empty cabin since some of our neighbors moved away at the outskirts. Gilly, you know the old Hardhoof place?" "Yeah, that would be great!" Gilly agrees. Hanna continues to Bella, "Now, it isn't very big and it will need a bit of fixing up, but I think it will do." "Oh, that sounds wonderful Mrs. Greyfield, I can't thank you enough." Bella exclaims, a little moisture forming in her eyes. "All of you, you're such wonderful people." "Now now, nothing's been decided just yet, dear. I'll tell my husband when he gets in from the fields later this evening. He'll get the village together and they'll have to discuss things then, but I think your chances are good." Hanna admits with a smile.
Bella can't help herself and gets up to hug Hanna, smothering Ellen between the women's large breasts. The busty cow girl thanks the beautiful mare over and over as she lets her go and Hanna adds, "You're very welcome. I think you'll make a fine addition to our community. Gilly, you take Ms. Sweet to see the place and I expect you all to be back for supper. Jenna, you and Ellen are welcome too, of course." Ellen cheers and you thank the equine matron. Then you all set out to show Bella her potential new home.
It's obviously been a while since anyone's lived in the run down old log cabin. The roof has fallen in and weeds have grown tall in and around the little house. "What a dump." Ellen observes out loud and you have a hard time not agreeing with her. "Oh, it just needs a little TLC is all." Bella admits. "What's TLC?" the little fox asks. "Tender love and care. Why, with a little work, this place will be looking like new in no time." "Yeah," you add, "Just pick a few weeds, redo the floor and roof, some good old fashion cleaning and it'll look great!" "We can start right now." Gilly encourages, and so the four of you get to work.
The first thing that needs to go is the weeds and even with four sets of hands pulling, it takes till late in the evening to just get the ones inside. Gilly sees her father passing by with other men coming in from the communal fields and jogs out to meet him. Gilly's father is an imposing dark brown stallion, taller than his daughter and taut with muscle. Even so, he is very nice and quick to smile. You haven't seen much of Mr. Greyfield, as he tends to spend a great deal of his time working the fields. With winter over, he and many of the other equine villagers are doing their best to prepare their land before sowing.
Gilly talks to him for a moment before pointing towards the three of you. Ellen is too tired from weeding to do much else than smile, but you and Bella wave when he does. Gilly waves you all over and you follow them back to Gilly's house and supper. Bella's situation is discussed and Mr. Greyfield ends up agreeing with his wife. He says he'll tell the others in the morning but also thinks Bella's chances of getting the empty old cabin are good. After dinner you thank the Greyfields and say your good-byes before taking your pooped little sister home. Gilly sees you out of the village, and you make promises to meet in the morning.
At home, you're scolded a bit for keeping Ellen out so late, though your parents do seem interested in the goings-on with Bella. You get up early the following morning to go see Gilly. You try to sneak out but Ellen is already up and insists on going too. Your mother hears you arguing and Ellen ends up skipping along beside you on your way back to your dear friend and lover. You meet Gilly almost half way to her house as you normally do and race your sister to her. You get to hug Gilly first, but the mare makes room for Ellen too. "So what's going on with Bella? Did they make a decision yet?" you ask and Gilly smiles "Yeah, come on."
Gilly explains as you walk to her village. Her father managed to get many of the other influential members of the village to agree. Bella will be allowed to stay in the old log cabin with her sisters. Some of the villagers have even volunteered to help fix up the place. Bella was ecstatic and wants to head back to gather her siblings but the others were made weary when they heard that the ranch was run by humans. Humans, in general, are regarded as dishonest and dangerous beings who respect nothing save for power and wealth. Even at Bella's insistence that these people were reasonable, none of the adults volunteered to go with her.
"We should go with her." You suggest. "Yeah!" Ellen cheers as you near Bella's house. "Not you, squirt, it's too far." You chide to your sister. "I wanna go!" Ellen shouts but Gilly kneels down putting a hands on the little fox's shoulder. "Jenna's right Ellen. I want you to wait for us here." "But Gilly." she whines. "No buts, you'll end up getting tired, and then I'll have to carry you home. It's just too far this time kiddo." You reason. Ellen huffs angrily and crosses her arms but bounces back when you see Bella leaving Gilly's house.
The little fox dashes towards the Bovidan woman. "I can go with you to get your sisters right?" she asks innocently. "Oh, I... I suppose so." Bella mumbles. "No Bella, she can't go. She's too little." You counter. "Oh, well, then I guess not." Bella apologizes to Ellen. "But..." "No Ellen!" you hate to raise your voice to her but there just isn't any other way when she gets like this. Your little sister starts to get teary and you crouch down putting both hands on her shoulders, "It's just too far for you this time and it might be dangerous. I don't want to see you get hurt, ok?" "But I wanna help too." She sniffles and starts rubbing at one eye. "You'll help more by staying here, we'll be back before you know it."
"I hope you aren't thinking about going to that ranch." Gilly's mother intones from the door way. "Why not?" Gilly asks. "You know why, Gilly. Humans are dangerous. They'll stab you in the back even while they shake your hand." returns Hanna. Gilly frowns, "Bella says they're ok." "Ok? She had to escape from them. They may be looking for her right now, and what happens if they find you on the road with her? Jenna, your mother can't possible approve of this." Hanna snaps back then looks to you. "Uh..." you mumble. You haven't actually told her you planned to go with Bella to get her sisters and were actually looking forward to seeing some new sights. "She said we could take her to the edge of our forage grounds but that's it." you lie. Hanna stares at you for an uncomfortable few seconds, "Hmph, did she now? Well then, that goes the same for you, Gilly." "Alright, mom." Gilly replies with a smile, "Come on Bella, we better get going if you plan to get back before dark." The four of you head out and you notice Gilly's mother watching you all for a while before returning inside.
Gilly and you walk together, with Ellen and Bella trailing, as you head back to where you found her. You lean over to Gilly, "We're still going with Bella right?" She leans back, "Of course. What are you going to do about Ellen?" "I don't know." you sigh. "She won't leave if I tell her to, and even if she does, I don't trust her to find her way back home alone. And if I take her home and meet up with you guys, it'll be too late." "I guess she's coming then." Gilly smirks. "Ugh, no Gilly, come on, help me." You whine. "Well, you could just take her home. I'll go with Bella and..." "Ugh! No way, I want to go!" Gilly laughs at your irritation, "What!?" "You sound just like your sister." She chortles. You squint your eyes at her and then look away crossing your arms with a huff and she just laughs more.
By the time you reach the area where you first met Bella, you still haven't thought of a good way to go while keeping Ellen home. Bella says the dairy farm is several hours away though she doesn't seem very certain. "Well girls, it was real nice of you all to walk me out this far. I'll be back, hopefully with my sisters in tow. See you all later." Bella crouches and hugs Ellen, "Bye-bye Bella." The little fox says. She starts walking, Gilly and you keeping pace with her. "Girls? Aren't you suppose to stay around here?" "Yeah, but we decided to come along." You tell her and Gilly nods. "We're going to go to the milk farm?" Ellen asks, running up to your side. "Yeah." You answer rubbing her head between her little pointed ears. "Yay!" she cheers happily.
You walk farther west than you've ever gone and eventually leave the comforting concealment of the forest and into an open hilly plain. It makes you a little nervous, but excited too. Ellen and you sing songs to pass the time. Eventually you come to a road and Bella seems relieved, "Oh good, we aren't lost." "Lost?" blurts Gilly. "This road leads to the ranch, I'm fairly sure of it." "Fairly?" the mare questions disapprovingly. "Almost positive." The cow girl responds and Gilly sighs.
It's later in the evening and Gilly asks, not for the first time, "How much further, Bella?" "Oh, not much farther." She replies, but she'd been saying that for the last hour or so. You've stopped singing and notice Ellen is having trouble keeping up even as you hold her hand. "You tired, Squirt?" you ask the weary little fox and she groans, "No." You kneel down and tell her get on your back, which she does, wrapping her legs around your hips and arms over your shoulders. She nuzzles into you gratefully and soon falls asleep.
"Oh, there it is at last, girls." announces Bella. The sun is just starting to set when the group finally sees the dairy, there have been no signs of civilization so far and it's a welcome sight. It consists of a large fenced in area with a long roofed building, what looks like a house, and a barn all together in the center. Your arms are tired from holding Ellen's little bottom up and you do a little shake to wake her. "Huh? Are we there?." The little fox groans sleepily. "Yeah, we just made it, you ready to walk?" "Ok." She replies, and you let her slide off of you. She grasps your hand and yawns, "Oh, I see it!" she cheers. You all pass through the simple wood beam fence easily enough and Bella leads you to the long unadorned single story wooden building.
"The girls should be in there this late." She says, suddenly in a hurry. "We should try to stay quiet, I just want to get them and go." You all crouch moving swiftly to the building through the tall grass, keeping the house and barn on the opposite side. As you approach you can hear female voices coming from inside. The four of you make your way to the back door and Bella whisper, "You girls stay here, I'll get my sisters and we'll be on our way." She disappears through a set of dual swinging doors and the three of you peek inside. In the dim light you can see several other Bovidan women of various colors, all with their large breasts on display, most chattering in small groups. The sides of the open building are lined with beds, and Bella swiftly makes her way towards some with two other cow women sitting on them talking to each other.
She nearly gets there when one of the standing cow woman announces, "Oh, Bella's back." This excites the others and they close on her asking questions about where she'd gone. Bella tries desperately to quite them while getting her sister's attention, but the women are eager for news and when feeling there question are going ignored, only get louder. A voice from behind makes you all jump, Ellen even yips. "Oh, and who might you three be?" You turn to find another Bovidan woman, looking down at you curiously with gentle green eyes. She is pleasantly plump with a dominantly white coat with light brown splotches. "Uh, we're just here with Bella to..." Gilly starts but the bare breasted woman squeals, "Oh! Aren't you just the cutest little thing!" She reaches for Ellen who squeezes into the space behind you and against the wall. "Oh, I'm sorry sweeties, I didn't mean to frighten you, but we really don't see too many new faces around here and it's just such a treasure when we do."
"Oh, well, I'm Jenna, this is my little si..." you start but another Bovidan calls from inside the building, "Who's that you got there, Matilda?" The cow woman in front of you calls back, "It looks like we have some adorable visitors girls." You're all quickly ushered into the building and surrounded by the bare breasted woman. "Jenna?" Ellen mumbles tugging on your skirts. You pick her up and hold her close as the women start reaching out to pet and stroke everywhere. Along with ooos and awes, questions pour in from all directions and in such numbers that there doesn't seem to be a point in trying to answer. "Girls!" Bella's voice booms from nearby, and everything goes still and quite. "What rude behavior! Swarming over our guests like ants on sugar! Can't you see you're frightening them?" The women start to back away a step, leaving the three of you in a small circle. Bella pushes through to join you, two pulling along two other Bovidans by the wrists, both a little smaller than her. "We're sorry Bella, you know how we can be when we get a visitor." Other's start to apologize as well and Bella has to shout again to be heard over them, "Enough all of you! These young ladies aren't stayin' so you best just forget you saw them." A young male voice silences all the chatter, "What's got you all riled up this late?"
The women move away from you all and reveal three humans by the front door. The male, who you assume is still just a boy because of his unimpressive stature, stands before two smaller human females with a pitch fork in his hands. The one to his right seems only just younger and holds a lantern, while the smallest hides behind the boy's leg, much like Ellen sometimes does. The boy calls out, "Bella? Where'd you run off to? And who are these other three?" "Oh, Henry. I was hoping to avoid all of this." Bella groans. The older of the two young females asks, "Bella, are you leaving?"
Bella sighs miserably, "Oh, Annie, it's time my sisters and me moved on." She indicated you three, "These kind folk have offered us a place to live in their village a little ways away." The smallest human asks, "Don't you like us anymore Bella?" "Oh Jenny, I do, I certainly do. But I think this is what's best for me and my sisters." The boy sighs, "Whelp, we hate to lose you three, and pa's not gonna be pleased, but if'n that's what you wanna do, then I ain't gonna stop you." "Thank you Henry, I am so grateful for what you've done for us, we all are." Bella admits and her sisters agree. The two little girls come from behind the boy and run up to hug the three departing cow women. You notice the littlest human taking an interest in you, but especially Ellen.
After they say their good byes, you all walk out the way you came. Bella seems sad, but one of her sisters snaps her out, "Bella, aren't you going to introduce us to your friends?" She does and you meet her middle sister, Chloe, and her youngest, Meena. They have similar coloring to their oldest sister, and possess the same brown hair and eyes. There builds are also similar, with Meena being a bit slimmer, but all have enviable busts. You can't help but stare some, which the sisters don't seem to mind at all.
Ellen gets tired quickly and Gilly and you take turns carrying her. You all manage to reach the mountain forest before it's too dark. You get Ellen back from Gilly and split up, you taking your sister home, while Gilly leads the Bovidans back to her village. It's a little scary walking home in near blackness but your knowledge of the forest keeps you on course and eventually gets the two of you home. It's very late and your parents scold you terribly for keeping Ellen out to such an hour. You end up grounded for a week, and aren't allowed to see Gilly or go foraging.
