<strong>Catherine Elizabeth<br/></strong><br/>She could not help but be slightly overwhelmed at the number of offers, this was excellent, they had quite a ways to carry the tree and it would take some work to erect it but that would have to wait until she had the tree here and the hole for it dug out. If she had eyeballed things correctly then they would not have to touch any of the surrounding trees. She wondered what was the proper custom of the were-bears? Jjust in case she decided to meet his greeting in kind.<br/><br/>“I greatly appreciate your help, it is for a good cause I assure you. I am Catherine Elizabeth, Shaman of the were-panther clan, a healer and servant of Gaia, it is my pleasure to make all of your acquaintance. “ Her dark chocolate eyes moved from one person to the next as she spoke. “I need to move a very large tree I found over here” She points where the medical clinic is destined to be formed, her movements filled with a powerful but easy grace. It was hard to judge from where she was standing but it came as no surprise to her that she was taller than most of the were’s present, even the men. She had no doubt though that many of them possessed physical strength beyond her own. She nodded to them and took off back into the lake she had come from, she was sure many of them would not want to get their clothes wet and they would go around, the shore would be easy for them to see if they stayed near the lakes edge and it would not take them that much longer than those that chose to swim. She loved the feel of the water though and the way it held you up, it was the closest to flying she would ever get without assistance. So she reveled every minute of it.<br/><br/>She found it was taking her far less effort than normal to stay jovial, perhaps this eden had that affect on everyone? She would have to watch her cousin to find out, the boy was normally friendly and even a bit bouncily nice, as though he had so much energy he just didn’t know what to do with himself if he wasn’t smiling and chatting it up with someone, she was not sure what she would do if that behavior had intensified. It did not take her long to get across the lake and back out of the water, once more she slicked her wet locks out of her eyes and waited for all the volunteers to get there so she could show them the very large tree she had in mind. Of course the tree had fallen over so it was fairly easy to pick out. Though the tree was large enough that having several weres to carry it the long distance around the lake to where it needed to be was quite a blessing. She had considered floating it across the lake but she did not want to upset the merefolk with all the leaves and random branches falling off into their pristine water. Carrying it around was truly the best method and with this many it would not be much more effort to go around. The only bad thing was that she doubted she had time to get the hole all the way dug in the daylight left, the sun was well into its downward descent by now, making it late afternoon.<br/>
