Isabella knew that she hadn't had her bath all day but decided to do so when it was dark. For now, it was more important to care for her mouth.
At least, if she died later in the forest, it wouldn't be with a smelling mouth.
She bent down when she got to the water and thoroughly washed the stick as much as she possibly could.
When she was satisfied, she rinsed her mouth with the salty water and began to scrub her tongue with the stick. She scrubbed her teeth as well and scrubbed all over her mouth before rinsing it with the salt water again.
When she was done, she smelled her mouth and told herself that it was much better now.
She stood up and looked at the forest. The sun was going to set soon and if she wanted to search for food it was better for her to do it before it became dark.
