The insides are larger than any of the other houses, rivaling even the Alpha House, because within its walls it not only houses the home of the Shamans of the village but also beds for the sick and dying.<br><br>It is separated in the middle by a thin wall, the south side housing the Shamans themselves and the north housing the beds for the sick. Both rooms have large fire-pits to ward off the cold and the walls are covered in herbs, fetishes and animal skins. The south room is cluttered with pots and tools used by the Shamans, the room always clouded by the herbs burning in the brazier in the fire-pit.<br><br>Danae 'e Baldzaey, the village healer, lives here and while it is also the home of Ts'udzagha Zhergan he seldom spends time there, preferring to sleep in the wilds and tending to his people's spiritual needs in the village itself. Anyone may go to the Shamans' Long House to seek guidance or healing.</span>

Here, free from the eyes of those who would see his weakness, he sank into a chair in the shadows, resting his wounded leg. He pulled back the frayed blanket that he wound into a kilt, and gingerly unwrapped the strip of cloth that he had made into a bandage. <br><br>The wound was not as bad as it could have been, though the cloth he had used was fair from clean. There was a slight stink to the wound as well, that he could smell even over the scent of the braziers. That wasn't good. The edges of the cut were turning red, and the area around it felt warm to the touch. An infection then, or at least the beginning of one. Had it developed sooner he would have probably just slunk off the trail home and laid down until either he got better or died.<br><br>With that grim thought in mind, he suddenly sat up, sensing the approach of someone. A heartbeat later he realised that it was the rest of the pack who would have needed medical attention. Grimly, he pulled his clothing back over his wound.<br><br>"Greetings." He said when Danae had entered the hut. "It seems I'm due for another visit." He finished with a slight smile.

"So it seems," she responded with a slight smile on her lips. She made her way over to a small basin and filled a pot with the water inside, and putting it over the cooking fire that was burning on the far side of the wall. She tossed some herbs into the water as well and then went back over to Delk'ali. "Are you sure you wouldn't prefer sitting closer to the fire?," she asked, referring to the fire pit that was burning low and hot in the center of the hut, cots set out in a fan pattern around it. She took the makeshift bandages from his hand and put them in a bowl that laid on the ground beside her. <br><br>Kneeling down in front of him, she examined his wound. He certainly had the beginnings of an infection, and if this had gone on, he possibly could have lost the leg, but lucky for him, the Alpha got them back to the village in time. Working quietly, she got back on her feet and poured some of the now hot water into a wooden bowl, and gathered up some other salves and fresh bandages she had prepared earlier. She went back over to him and knelt down once more. "This will sting a little," she said as gently as she could in a matter-of-fact tone. She dipped a cloth into the water and cleaned his wound thoroughly before applying the salve and wrapping it in fresh bandages. <br><br>Her work was quick and efficient, yet she was always as gentle as possible. Danae also chanted as she healed him, singing quietly one of the ancient Tikaan songs that healers used to pray to the Gods, asking to heal this warrior and grant him a long life. Even though she didn't always like to sing in front of people, Danae had a great voice, one that her mother said was given by Father Moon himself. <br><br>When she was done, Danae gave Delk'ali a smile and took her bowls back to the table. "The Gods always smile upon you," she said as she tossed the dirty bandages into a basket to be cleaned later, and dumping the dirty water out of the window that faced the forests. She knew Delk'ali might not see his injuries as favor, but Danae knew the Gods worked in mysterious ways, and that their intentions were not always apparent. Continuing her clean up, she prepared a few more bowls and bandages for the incoming wave of people that would need her healing.<br><br>((Link to my previous post: HERE (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=178593.msg8531040#msg8531040)))

"You look like you're going to explode, Seni, you will see her soon." He said keeping his smirk on his face as he opened the door and stepped in, holding it open for the three as he looked at the healer and let a little laugh as he thought of something to say to the woman as he waited, he hated it the most. He hated letting her bandage him a bit, but he despised the waiting on her the most.<br><br>"I am here, as you asked me to be, mother." He teased her a bit, trying to lighten his own mood more than anything but he did hope that she would at least give him a little laugh so he didn't feel completely alone in his need for humor. He thought it helped him if she seemed to be in a good mood.<br><br><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/31/Tl%27akoltseni_Utiye%27.png)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Seni<br><strong>Who:</strong> Danae, Kon, Hiti, and Unna<br><strong>Where:</strong> Outskirts of Kayax<br><strong>When:</strong> Early Morning<br><br>Seni smiled at the redhead and looked at the other woman. "Sorry, but you seemed to be tired, I will set you down as soon as we are in the door." He said to her, knowing he would likely be scolded if he didn't anyway but he wasn't going to say that part of it to her. He looked to the hut again and smiled softly, they were finally about to arrive and he would get a chance to see her again. He was happy about that, he didn't know why but she always seemed to brighten his day and make it easier on him. He just hoped he had half that effect on her.<br><br>He stepped in just behind Kon and elbowed him in the ribs a bit for his joke and sat Hiti gently on her feet and then turned to hold the door open for Unna, he wanted them to at least feel a bit welcome and not hated here. Not that he was normally good at that, he usually made people a bit uncomfortable with his larged stature. "Here we go, Danae, all here for you." He said softly.<br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d7/Hiti.png)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Hiti<br><strong>Who:</strong> Unna, Seni, Kon, Danae, Delk'ali.<br><strong>Where:</strong> Shaman House.<br><strong>When: </strong> Early Morning.<br><br><hr><br>It didn't take long for her cheeks to puff out again; something she did when she was exasperated. She was grateful when the small group stepped into the hut and she was placed back onto her aching feet again. Hiti let out a light sigh as she stepped a little further into the hut and she cast her eyes around curiously. The first thing that caught her eye was the healer she had seen briefly when they entered the village and they were greeted by the other Sacrifices. Then, a male Tikaan who was with them on their journey to Kayax, though he was far ahead of her and she hadn't interacted or even seen him up close yet. She eyed the two cautiously, studying them. He was a little shorter than most she'd seen around, but that didn't make him any less daunting then the others. When she couldn't stare at the two any longer, her eyes cast around the rest of the building. <br><br>Unna was the last in through the door and Hiti glanced back to see Seni holding it open for her. That only caused her to be more suspicious. The redhead frowned at him before hastily turning her head to look at Kon with the same frown. Shaking her head a little, Hiti turned back to look at Danae, the healer. She didn't know what to expect of the female and she continued to wonder what a check up would consist of; she'd never seen a healer before, let alone a Tikaan one. She had been brought up to tough out the sickness alone and for some reason or another, that always seemed to work with her. <br><br>As she was silently waiting, the redhead raised a hand to press against her forehead as she inhaled, her eyes closing for a second as she tried to relax. Her skin was hot to the touch, but she hoped it was just that her hand was too cold to feel any different. It wouldn't be a good idea to fall ill with a fever at such an early stage of integration into the village.

He had the door open, so that must mean there were others not too far behind. Turning around to face the door, she gave a small smile to the new arrivals and eyed Kon. "If you weren't so stubborn, I wouldn't have to act like your mother, now would I?," she said with a small laugh. Kon was fairly easy to get along with, but she wasn't sure why he was so adverse to getting help. Ts'itu seemed to be the only one he would listen to, for reasons that were fairly obvious to everyone <em>but</em> Ts'itu. She shook her head at Kon and pointed toward a cot that was near the fire. "Have a seat," she spoke to him with a sweet, yet commanding tone.<br><br>Looking over at the door, she noticed Seni had certainly brought the girls with him, but not in the manner she expected. "Honestly, Seni, the girl only arrived! Could you keep your paws off of her and show the lady some respect?," she narrowed her eyes at him and set her bowl down, walking over to the red-haired girl. "He's a harmless brute, I assure you," she said with a genuinely warm smile as she helped the girl get seated on a cot. She gave a teasing smile to Seni as she got some warm blankets, putting one around the red-head's shoulders. The girl seemed to be shaking, and it seemed that part of it was fear and the other part was from the biting cold. She hoped that by being around the girl, she could ease her mind. Zhergan always told her she had a calming aura about her and that was part of what made her such a great Healer.<br><br>Danae put the other warm blanket over the shoulders of the brunette, but she could see the fever setting in on the girls face. "You don't get to sit so close to the fire, dear." She guided the girl over to a cot that was closer to Delk'ali and sat her down. "You're running a fever, so I'm going to need you to rest here." She smiled at the girl and brushed the back of her hand against the girl's forehead, feeling the heat that was radiating off of her. <br><br>"I'm Danae," she said warmly, speaking to both the girls as she got up and moved over to Kon, bringing with her a bowl of herbs, bandages and some hot water. She didn't even bother to tell Kon it would sting, he already knew that what she did was going to hurt a little. He wasn't too bad off, but he had some wounds that did need stitching, in which she took great amusement watching Kon's face as she sewed him up. After finishing her work on him, she applied some salves that would cool his wounds and heal them quickly before bandaging them up. "There, you are all finished Kon. I want you take it easy though, and if you get any pain, come to me." She gave the man a stern look and sent him on his way, moving over to Hiti next.

Of course, she quickly lowered her head so as not to show her twisted features. Her green eyes watched the floor for a moment, only to rise as the healer known as Danae approached her. She stared at the woman for a moment, keeping herself small, her shoulders shoved up against her neck once again, while trying to look up at her. Hiti didn't say anything at the Tikaan's comment or gentle smile, instead she began to chew the inside of her cheek anxiously while giving a small nod in acknowledgement.<br><br>Hiti followed obediently when she was lead to a cot near the fire, one next to where the blond wolf had sat. She flinched ever so slightly as she lifted her feet from the ground, but then felt herself slowly relaxing as the warmth heated her from the outside in. She glanced around, spotting some things she recognized, like herbs and such, and other things she didn't. She did try and take a note of the herbs they seemed to use; it was something she was rather good at and Hiti also enjoyed picking and learning about them. Her eyes then moved to Danae, who had returned with blankets. She brightened a little, straightening at the sight of them, almost anticipating the warmth. When the female wrapped one of the blankets around her shoulders, she shied away from her touch, but happily accepted the material. When the healer left, she pulled closer around her small frame, tucking her legs up onto the cot, boots and all, where she crossed them and completely engulfed herself in the blanket, snuggling into it and wrapping it higher around her neck. When the female spoke her name, Hiti nodded and mumbled to herself. "Danae.." <br><br>While the healer tended to Kon, the blond male Tikaan, Hiti managed to get herself a little warmer, her face still flushed with colour. No matter how much she tried, however, she couldn't manage to get her lips any warmer. Bright green orbs wandered over to look at Unna on the cot next to her and she watched the girl for a minute, trying not to stare. She was a pretty thing, Unna. A friendly smile pulled at her icy lips for a short second before she resumed snuggling further into the blanket. By the end of the wait, Hiti looked like a big bundle of material, like her body had melted away beneath the extra layer. <br><br>Hiti didn't really notice when Danae announced she'd finished with Kon. It was only when she was a few feet in front of her that she was brought back to reality. Her bright eyes watched the healer with caution, before she parted her lips to speak. "Danae.." She tested the name out, hoping she'd gotten it right. "...Thanks." She didn't really know what she was thanking the Tikaan for; the blanket? The warmth? The reassurance about Seni? Maybe even all of it. But she felt she had to say it at some point, so she simply did, even if it was a little out of place.

"Yes, I will return to you if I have one ounce of pain though I don't know if I should, you seem to enjoy stitching me up just a bit too much, Danae." He said to her with a playful laugh as he stood up and went to the door before looking back, he looked at the redheaded woman first and gave her a soft smile. "Don't worry about Seni at all, he is harmless, really. And you're in good hands with Danae. She is one of the sweetest around." He said and gave her and the other sacrifice, Unna a polite nod before he slipped out the door.<br><br>He walked toward the beta house, thinking he might fancy a quick nap before the party. He wondered if anyone would bother him at all there and thought better of it. He decided to wander around instead and see wher he came. He figured it would be more fun that sleeping anyway and give him a bit of time alone to think.<br><br><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/31/Tl%27akoltseni_Utiye%27.png)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Seni<br><strong>Who:</strong> Danae, Kon, Hiti, and Unna<br><strong>Where:</strong> Outskirts of Kayax<br><strong>When:</strong> Early Morning<br><br>Seni tilted his head and looked at Danae, then Hiti and Unna. "I was only helping her, she was tired. Nothing else." He said in a bit of a soft tone, a smile on his face as he did. He leaned on the wall and waited patiently to have her come look at his wound. It wasn't much more than a deep scratch but he had to admit that it was in an annoying place and he wanted rid of it to be able to move freely and not feel pain everytime he moved his side and made the wound pull&nbsp; open again.<br><br>He waited quietly, his demeanor not really sullen or mean but his imposing figure did make him a bit of a sight to behold as he stood and waited. He never really gave it much thought, he had spent most of his life around Kon who was only a bit shorter than he and they were roughly the same build, though he was again a bit larger than Kon.

Yes, it was true, did enjoy torturing him in her own small way. He needed someone to knock him down a few pegs, and if she had be the one to do it, so be it. However, for all his stubbornness, she really did hope he would come back and get some herbal tea if he had any pain. He may be a pain in the ass, but he was still a Beta, and the Beta's needed to stay in top condition at all times. She looked over at him briefly as he called her 'sweet', her smirk turning into a genuine smile, appreciating the compliment. "Get some rest, Kon," she called after him as he left, shaking her head a little. <br><br>Moving over to Hiti, she knelt down next to the girl. "I'm just going to make sure your bones are strong," she said with a gentleness in her voice, one that she saved for her patients. As she moved her hands over the girl's delicate frame, she gingerly squeezed the joints, testing for any sprains or possible breaks. Everything seemed to be alright, though she did have a slight sprain on her left ankle, and she was running a fever. "It seems that your ankle will need to be tightly bandaged, and you have a slight fever, but both of these will heal in time." She gave the girl a warm smile, and went to work gently removing the girl's boots and bandaging the sprain with some cloth dipped in an herb mixture that would keep the ankle from feeling too painful. "What is your name, child?," she asked, her hands moving to another bowl. <br><br>Looking at the girl, she could tell there was something about her, something that also linked her to Healing like it did Danae. She was brought here for a reason, and although the girl may be just a human, Danae knew this girl held a connection with the earth that few humans did. Ts'itu would like to hear about this, and perhaps Danae could convince the girl to work beside her. <br><br>With a smile on her face, she took a salve that she had prepared earlier and rubbed some of it on the girl's forehead. "This should help with the fever, and you should feel a cooling sensation soon," she said, brushing the hair out of the girl's face. She could tell that the human was certainly scared, and probably rightly so, with the attack that happened as they travelled, but she hoped by working with the girl she could ease her mind about the Tikaan. "I feel an aura about you, and I would like it very much if you would help me? I find myself in need of assistance, and I hope you would consider my offer," she stood up and gave the girl a reassuring smile, her tone not commanding the girl to do as she says, but more imploring her. She gave the girl a nod before moving over to the brunette who was now laying down.

Before the healer reached out to begin, the redhead let the blanket fall around her form and she straightened a little to allow her more room to move. She outstretched her legs for the other, as well as her arms when necessary. When Danae's hands moved to her left ankle, Hiti flinched a bit, hissing lightly at the pain that shot up her leg. How she hadn't noticed the sprain when she was walking, Hiti did not know. She also didn't know what she had hurt herself? Maybe upon the decent to the village right before she was picked up and carried the rest of the way. Reflecting back on the situation caused a light frown to cloud her features. She gave Danae a couple of nods as she reported her findings; this one wasn't so bad... <br><br>As Danae began removing her boots, Hiti glanced at the male Tikaan near the door, waiting for her attentions. The way he was smiling at the healer was...odd. Her green orbs returned her ankle and she watched intently as Danae began bandaging her. Upon being asked her name, Hiti raised her shoulders to her neck and lowered her head ever so slightly, still watching the healers hands at work. "Hiti." Her voice was soft and quiet, she wasn't very happy to be giving her name to everyone, but she guessed that if she would be staying with them all, they would have to know her somehow. <br><br>Hiti glanced at the new bowl that contained a salve and she blinked as the healer used her fingers to relay it to her forehead. The instant cooling sensation caught her to sigh, relief flooding her face as her eyes closed peacefully. She felt the other brush some of her hair away from her face and she felt relaxed for the first time, something she wasn't proud to admit. She opened her eyes when she heard Danae's voice sound once more and this time, she blinked, a little stunned. She could really sense that just by looking at her? In all honesty, Hiti wondered why she had been picked to travel with the pack. She wasn't sure she had made anything she was good at plainly obvious to them. She also found herself wondering what she would do in the village, now that she knew she had no choice about living there. Hiti thought about it for a moment, before coming to a conclusion and offering a small nod of acceptance. "A-Alright then. I'll try my best to help." She watched Danae for a little longer, a small smile playing on her lips. When she left to attend to Unna, Hiti felt for her blanket again and pulled it up to her ears, huddling into it with another little sigh of relief.

She was glad that the girl agreed to help her, and it certainly would make life that much easier for her here in the village. She watched the girl lay down, breathing a small sigh of relief that Hiti felt comfortable enough to rest here. As she walked over to the brunette, she looked over at Seni. He certainly dwarfed everyone in the room, and seeing him standing patiently there on the wall of her hut, it made her smile a little. Unlike Kon, Seni actually enjoyed coming to see her, and she was grateful for the company most days. He may look menacing, but in truth, she knew he was nicer than most. Giving him a 'thank-you-for-being-patient' look, she offered him a sweet smile before kneeling down next to the girl.<br><br>"No need to sit up, dear," she said and gave the girl a gentle push back down on the cot. "And it's very nice to meet you as well, Unna," she said as she bowed her head gracefully to the girl. "I'm just going to check you the same way I did with Hiti, and then you are free to rest here as long as you need." She gave Unna a reassuring smile and pushed back the blanket, going to work quickly on Unna, testing the joints and feeling for any breaks or sprains. Luckily, she found none, but the fever still concerned her. She took the same salve that she used on Hiti and applied some on Unna's forehead as well. "This will help with the fever, and you should feel a cooling sensation soon," she told the girl, same as she told Hiti. "You will will have a long day ahead of you, breaking this fever might take longer than expected," her face had hints of worry, but she gave the girl a smile. "But you are strong," she said with a knowing look, "and I know that you will leave here stronger than ever." She removed Unna's boots and put them closer to the fire, not wanting her to catch cold on top of a fever. Pulling the blanket back over the girl, she put a hand on her shoulder. "Eira should arrive later with food, and I'll wake you when she does." <br><br>She stood up and took her bowls back over to the table, grabbing some more fresh bandages and another herb mixture before taking them with her over to Seni. "You have been patient long enough," she said with a slight chuckle. "So how is my favorite patient today?," she asked with a joking smile, her warm green eyes locking onto his cool, silver orbs.<br>

The place was full of people and being in this close proximity to all these Wolves instantly got her dander up. It made her want to snarl and snap or just turn and flee as fast as her feet could carry her, but none of those were options. Instead, she kept her face blank and used sharp looks to move people out of her way. The fact that she was carrying a large cook pot (made to appear all the larger by her own petite size and the fact that this pot was clearly made to accommodate feeding Wolves, not Humans)&nbsp; probably helped as well, especially as she hefted it toward the central fire and wrangled it onto a tripod so the porridge she'd brought from the kitchens could simmer. As the heat seeped into the pot, the scent of cinnamon, sugar, and nutmeg began to fill the hut as well.<br><br>For all her recalcitrance no one could accuse Eira of being a poor cook.<br><br>Easily missed, in watching her set up the cook pot, was the bag she'd dropped down at her feet, until she reached into it and began to draw out bowls, hunks of break, some winter apples, and wedges of cheese as well. Without a word she simply started putting bowls together and moving around the hut, making sure she fed the new Sacrifices before she fed anyone else. They'd been pushed far beyond their normal endurance and would need the food more in her eyes.<br><br>Seeing that Unna was about to fall asleep she placed a bowl beside her and touched her head gently, her voice low and soothing as she spoke to the brunette, "You need to eat something before you sleep. Your body needs energy to heal itself. Eat at least some of the porridge, the rest will be there waiting when you wake up."<br><br>With Hiti speaking to Danae, and clearly already working to make a life for herself with the Pack, Eira simply placed a bowl next to her for her to eat when she was ready.

He held up his arms and pulled his cloak up a bit, exposing more of his muscled torso so she could see all of the annoying little scratch that was hampering him. He knew it would scar and he didn't mind, scars were a sort of source of pride from what he could see for some pack members. Kon had a seemigly ever growing collection but he didn't really care.<br><br>Seni looked at Danae again and gave her a softer, more sweet smile as he caught her eyes with his once more. "You are a busy one today, healer, even the customer who favors you least has come quite willingly." He said in a joking tone, it was well known that Kon wasn't much for being bandaged but he did seem to like the friendly banter he had with Danae.

The way he looked at her made her feel a bit uneasy. It was a piercing gaze he had, and it seemed he only saved it for her. She knew there were other females in the pack that certainly fawned over him, seeking his attention, but he never seemed to reciprocate the feelings. Deep down, Danae knew he wanted her, but she always talked herself out of it. <em>'He's just a friend,'</em> she would think to herself, reassuring herself that what they had was merely a friendship and nothing more. She was glad when Eira walked in, her distraction welcome to Danae's wandering thoughts.<br><br>Moving her gaze to the woman, Danae smiled warmly. "Thank you Eira, I'm sure the girls will appreciate a meal as good as yours." She always tried to be nice to Eira, even though the woman seemed to want none of it. She was stubborn, and Danae could tell she didn't like the wolves' presence.<em> 'Not everyone adjusts easily, though,'</em> she reminded herself as she watched Eira for a moment, then looked back at Seni as he spoke again. <br><br><br>"Yes, Kon doesn't seem to enjoy my company as much as some," she said with a chuckle, her eyes moving down his strong torso to look at his wound. She bent over a little, placing her fingers around the cut delicately. I would scar, that was sure, but it wouldn't need stitches like Kon's wounds. She grabbed a cloth and dipped it in the warm water, cleaning the wound thoroughly before applying some salve. "This will keep it from getting an infection, and should help keep it sealed shut as long as you don't do anything that would rip it back open," she said, offering him a warning glare. Going back to the cut, she covered it with a square bandage, using another herb mixture as glue to keep the bandage in place. "That should hold, but if the bandage comes off, come see me again." She gave him a smile and then straightened back up, looking up at him. "Would you like to stay for some food?," she offered, taking her bowls back to a basin for cleaning later, making room on her table for them to sit.

She pulled her legs up to her stomach tightly, curling into a small ball, the blanket still tucked around her comfortably. She felt exhausted. As soon as her eyes began to slip closed, the redhead snapped them open again, staring ahead of her. She couldn't let herself fall asleep around these people, even if they had been nice to her so far. Her bright green orbs strained to stay open, having a literal staring competition at the wall ahead of her. She had her back to Unna, so couldn't see what was happening behind her. She tried to concentrate on the healers voice, wanting to do her best to stay awake. Hiti needed to keep herself busy, so she tried to think of things that she could ponder for a while; nothing came to mind when she needed it to. The girl pouted to herself as she let out a small yawn, her eyes watering a little as she stretched out, only to curl back into her safe ball again.<br><br>When the bowl of porridge was placed in front of her, her green eyes diverted from their spot on the wall and glanced to Eira, who disappeared as soon as her orbs had found her. Yawning once more, Hiti shifted and sat up once again, her legs folding beneath her as she leaned to pick up the bowl. It was warm. She lifted the object to her nose, giving it a small sniff, the warmth resonating from the food, brushing her pale features soothingly. She took a minute, simply staring at the contents quietly before she began eating. She shifted away from any eyes that may be gazing in her direction, keeping her back to everyone as she started at the contents of the bowl. It was really good. The redhead turned her head a little, looking over her shoulder for Eira. Once she'd been located, Hiti offered her a small smile and a few words of appreciation. "Thank you for the food.."<br><br>As she turned back to her food, she caught sight of the healer talking to the male wolf, waiting at the door and she squinted at them for a moment before turning back to her food, not wanting to see anything she shouldn't. They seemed very friendly and it made her wonder for a second; she quickly determind that it was none of her business and that she should get on with eating. At least the food served as a distraction from the sleep that beckoned her.

"Thank you, Eira," she said simply, giving the girl a nod in thanks as well. Even though the woman distrusted the Tikaan, she was a hard worker and her food was the best in the camp. Looking back across the table at Seni, she laughed a little at his words. "Unlike Kon, I trust that you will actually heed my words," she said with a light laugh. It was true, he certainly listened to Danae more than Kon did, though she just thought that it was because he had a great respect for the work she did. <br><br>Taking a bite of her bread, she was glad that she got to eat while it was still warm. A small moan escaped her mouth as she took a bite of the porridge and gave an approving nod. It was warm and comforting, definitely something Hiti and Unna would need after their long journey. With a look over to the girls, she smiled, happy that they were resting even though Hiti seemed to be fighting sleep. It was almost amusing with how the girl was so defiant, even spiting herself. <br><br>Danae just shook her head and looked back at Seni, who seemed intent on staring her down today. She was used to his piercing gaze though, and had come to like it. His eyes were so unique that she couldn't help but stare back sometimes. With this many people in the hut, though, she felt a heat rise to her cheeks, and she made a point to look down at her bowl as she ate daintily. "So Seni, are there much preparations to be done for the feast tonight?," she asked, keeping her eyes down as she focused on the bowl.

He reached a hand across the table and touched her for&nbsp; a moment.<br><br>He took a quick breath as he did and pulled his fingers slightly away, the little touch was like a jolt for him but he found that he liked it and wanted to do it again but he didn't want to bother her at the same time.

Anyone who wanted seconds could figure out how to get them for themselves though. She also made her way back around to pick up those bowls that people were done with, and that needed to be returned to the kitchens, making a mental note that she would need to come back for the rest later in the day. She wasn't going to rush injured people in their eating (even injured Wolves) just because she wanted to be done with them.<br><br>As she worked, she heard Danae thank her but they were words that she ignored for the most part.

She'd return later for the pot and any utensils that needed returning to the kitchens, but there was no reason or rule that said she had to stay inside and listen to the Seni flirt with Danae, or the grumblings of any other patient in the hut. The only two she might have been interested in speaking with both needed their rest to heal, and it looked as if Hiti was already on her way to finding a place with the Wolves so it was probably best that she didn't speak with her much anyway.<br><br>If the pretty little bird could be happy in her cage, Eira wasn't going to spoil that for her.

Looking into his eyes now, it seemed like he wanted to say something to her, but he was holding back, just as she was always holding back. When he pulled his hand away, she frowned slightly, the touch of him seemed to soothe her from the inside out, and she found herself missing it. She reached back across the table and slid her hand back under his, giving him a shy smile as she took another spoonful of porridge in her mouth. <br>

"Thank you, but I'm comfortable here." he told Danae, handing her the bandage that had reviously covered his wound. He watched as she quickly grabbed all the supplies she would need, admiring her skill and dedication to the task. Of course, he had been in and out of this hut far too many times in his life not to have an appreciation for the work of the healers. Finally everything had been gathered and now it was time for the best part. He managed to avoid rolling his eyes at that thought, instead simply nodding when he was told the ever understated line that this will sting "a little".<br><br>He hissed in a breath between clenched teeth as she applied the salve, slowly letting the air out as he grew more accustomed to the stinging in his leg. He began to feel something else, a strange swirling sensation that he realised was not physical, and instead was probing at his mind. It took a second before he remembered that Danae was chanting as she applied the bandage and salve. He became more relaxed, and before he knew it the wound had been covered by both salve and cloth.<br><br>He was about to laugh and spit out a sarcastic reply about the Gods, but bit his tongue. It wouldn't do to mock them, however much he felt that They did the same to him. Why else was he such a puny example of his people? Instead he simply smiled and said "Well, They work in the most mysterious ways. Thank you for seeing to my wounds, I'll just rest the leg a bit, and then I'll be going." He made a wry face. "Ts'itu wants me to speak at the party, tell the tribe about my fight." He pulled a face that could be described as anything but delighted. <br><br>Once again he watched the young Omega rush around, seeing to everyone's wounds. Kon was the worst of the bunch, and a part of Delk'ali wanted the big Tikaan to be wounded in such a way to be bedridden for some time, if only to help drive home the point that he shouldn't simply dive into a fight all the time. Not that he wanted anything bad to happen to the big Beta, but he really did need to be a bit more careful. <br><br>The sacrifices were actually fairly docile about being treated by the Tikaan Healer, in a strange hut filled with mystical objects. On the other hand, they did choose to become sacrifices, so they would be more open than most. Not like...<br><br>"Speak of the demons and they will arrive." He muttered under his breath as Eira stomped in with only the barest veneer of respect and submission etched onto her features and actions. He knew she wasn't exactly as submissive as she liked to portray, he acted much the same. It helped when you were smaller, weaker and could be at the mercy of someone bigger and stronger at a moments notice.<br><br>Delk'ali drifted off into something that resembled sleep, although he wasn't fully awake or slumbering. It was a useful trick, what the older wolves had called "sleeping with one eye open." He was more or less aware of what was going on, but was resting himself as well. Neither was as good as being fully awake or asleep, and he couldn't do this for long, but for long hunts or roving patrols, it was invaluable for refreshing himself.<br><br>When he felt rested enough, he stood, and saw that only the two sacrifices, Danae and Seni were left, and the last waas making doe eyes at the healer. "Thank you for your services Danae. As always I am in your debt. Now I have to figure out how to tell this tale of mine." <em>Or to be brutally honest, how to lie my ass off to make this sound good.</em> He thought as he left the hut.

It tasted great and the warmth definitely made her feel better, though it only helped the tiredness that tried to take her. She scrapped out the last contents of the bowl and swallowed it quickly, sighing blissfully for a moment. The redhead have never eaten much before, so one bowl was more than enough for her; she did enjoy food, but for some reason her stomach could never take much. The man who raised her had always teased her that it was because of her height that she couldn't eat much. Hiti leaned over, placing the empty bowl on the floor before shifting to turn around a little, glancing around at everyone. She noticed that the healer and Seni were talking at the table, that Unna was currently eating and that the wolf in the corner who hadn't said much, had woken from his rest and left the hut after thanking Danae for her service.<br><br>The redhead sighed a little, she wanted to get out and do something. She wanted to look around, but at the same time she didn't want to move. If she stayed, she would only fall asleep and Hiti didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the presence of strangers, especially the Tikaan. Hiti let out a heavy sigh, glancing to her sprained ankle for a minute, testing it against the floor to see if it would hurt too much to walk. It seemed fine, just maybe a little weak. Bright green eyes turned to the two at the table and she frowned a little at their flirtatious atmosphere. Pressing her lips together, she thought about what she would say to escape the hut. "Would it be alright if I looked around the village a little...?" Her voice was quiet as she called out to Danae, looking to her for an answer. She wasn't sure what was acceptable here or not, but she wanted to look around at the very least. If she was extremely lucky, she wouldn't run into many wolves and would be able to make up some excuse or another to leave if one approached.

She paused though, thinking about Ts'itu. "I know she's stubborn, but I watched my father go through the same thing. She can't let herself get worn down so soon. I don't want my Alpha or my friend in an early grave." She looked the man across the table, her face full of worry. All she could think of was her mother, who tried so hard to help her husband, Danae's father, when he was Alpha. Ts'itu needed someone like that, someone to be there for her like Danae's mother was there for the Alpha. Sure, she helped Ts'itu whenever she could, but she knew it wasn't the same. With her mind still occupied, she hardly noticed when Seni reached over the table, and was shocked by his kiss on her cheek.<br><br>Looking over at him as he sat back down, her face flushed pink. She wasn't really sure what to say, but now others in the hut were stirring and she thought it best not to embarrass herself further. She gave a shy smile to Seni, and then glanced over to Delk'ali, nodding to his kind words. "I'm sure it will be a great story indeed," she said with a nod. After he left, she looked back at Seni, her hands a bit shaky from nerves.<br><br>Luckily, she was saved by Hiti, who seemed intent on not resting. Standing up from the table, she took the bowls and bandages to cleaning basin nearby. She turned to girl and gave her&nbsp; a scrutinizing once-over. "Some fresh air might be good, but don't go far, we wouldn't want to have to send Seni here to carry you back over his shoulder, would we?," she asked jokingly, but her words were true. She didn't like the idea of Seni hoisting the girl over his shoulder again, but if she had to, she certainly wouldn't hesitate to give the order. With a small smile to Hiti, then a wink to Seni, she went back to her dishes. <br><br>Danae certainly needed to keep busy, since her mind was still reeling over Seni's kiss. Sure, he didn't kiss her lips, but he certainly could have. And in front of all the people in the hut? What would Ts'itu think if she had seen? Her cheeks grew warmer at the idea of Ts'itu's teasing and she shook her head slightly. No, she had too much to do, and she didn't need the distraction right now. Putting the dishes in one-by-one, she cleaned them off and put them on a rack to dry. The work kept her hands busy, but not necessarily her mind.<br>

Why was it that these wolves decided she couldn't use her own legs and that she needed their help with walking?! The redhead puffed her cheeks out as her frown drifted to her lap. She thought about it for a moment; maybe going out wasn't a great choice after all? She might run into more Tikaan and she wasn't sure she could handle that...On the other hand, she had to get used to them if they were all going to be living in the same village together, right? <em>No!</em> All of a sudden, Hiti began shaking her head furiously and her hands grabbed at the blanket she was given by Danae, tugging it up to her chin before flopping down onto her side on the cot. She curled her legs up to her chest and felt a little dizzy with the speed of laying down again, she also felt a little sick...Maybe she'd eaten too much? "I'll be fine here." She mumbled, not happy with the idea of leaving while also hating the idea of sleeping. One of her hands snaked up, resting against her chest, her fingers fiddling with the top of her shirt to pull out a emerald coloured pendant (http://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/6053533/il_340x270.279697637.jpg) that connected to a broze chain around her neck. The small pendant was well taken care of and rested between her breasts safely, but now her hands gripped at it tightly, holding it as if it would keep her safe. It was the only thing she'd had from her forgotten past, the old man said he had found her with it at the beginning, and Hiti had never removed it since.<br><br>Before she'd noticed, her eyes were closed and she was snug and warm. The warmth of the hut and blanket was too much for her and the dreams that called to her took advantage of that. Her breathing slowed and she turned onto her back for a moment, only to return to her side, to her safe ball, the next. Hiti was a usually a quiet sleeper, though on this occasion she felt herself mumbling quietly, only to return to silence seconds later. Her dreams were filled with the events of the day, spending time with the old man, being tracked by the Tikaan, offering herself to the wolves for his protection....Then they would warp into nightmares and horrible images filled her head of what the group could, and couldn't, be capable of. It wouldn't be strange for her to wake in shock during her sleep, but she would force herself to settle back down and let sleep take her once again.

She was glad when the girl laid back down and fell asleep, it would do her good to rest, especially if she wanted to join in the festivities later on. Shaking her head amusingly at her new assistant, Danae went back to washing her dishes. After a moment though, she felt a strong arm wrap around her waist and she turned to face the tale male in front of her. When she was this close to Seni, she could feel his strong heartbeat, and smell his musky, earthy scent. It was intoxicating and if he wasn't holding her, she was sure that she would fall to the floor, unable to stand on her weak knees. <br><br><strong>"Do forgive me, good healer."</strong> The words said apology, but his smile said he wasn't sorry at all. And when he placed a kiss on her lips, it was all she could do to not wrap herself around him. She came to her senses though, and after a minute or so, she slipped out of his grasp, putting a hand to her spinning head. "I.. I don't think this is appropriate," she said, her voice nothing more than a raspy whisper. Taking a step back, she bumped into the cleaning basin behind her, clearly flustered. <br><br>"I, uhm, I need to check on the girls," she said and went over to the sleeping Unna. "Still running a fever," she said, mostly to herself. Going back to her salve, she grabbed some and applied more to Unna's forehead, and did the same to Hiti. She tried to keep busy, but as she worked, she could only think of Seni. It was obvious he wanted her, but what were his intentions? Did he just want to bed her, or mate her? Her cheeks went red as she thought about that, her experience with men was severely limited, and the thought of being with a man as strong and powerful as Seni sent shivers down her body.

The girl was stirring and when she woke, she had a few questions. "It's only noon, you haven't been asleep long," she gave the girl a smile and brushed her hair away from her face. "Your fever doesn't seem to be breaking, but if you rest some more, I'm sure you'll be well enough to attend the party later," she said, giving a reassuring smile. "I'll bring you some more food soon, but for now, I need you to rest." She stood up and gave a small nod to the girl, and went back to Seni.<br><br>When he spoke, she could see that he was genuine, and his aura told her the same.<em> 'So it is true, he wants me as a mate,'</em> her head was spinning as he kissed her cheek, and left her to contemplate his words.<em> 'What am I to do?,'</em> she put her face in her hands, feeling vulnerable. It was true, she was sure that he had been lusting after her for quite a while, but she had no idea he felt so strongly. In fact, she really hadn't given mating much thought. With everything surrounding Ts'itu, she had put her personal life away and focused on the pack. She bit her lip, thinking hard about Seni's words. Could she see herself mated to Seni? He certainly was a great friend, but she hadn't thought of him as more than a flirt. <em>'I really need to talk to Ts'itu later,' </em>she thought to herself. <br><br><hr><br>Danae spent the rest of her day tending to Hiti and Unna, feeding them soup and applying the salve when it was needed. When Ts'itu finally arrived, Danae was happy that her friend finally came in to get some medicine. The Alpha was certainly in need of healing, and Danae was pleased to take care of her. After a mild scolding and some herbal tea, Danae sent Ts'itu on her way, deciding to talk to her about Seni later when she wasn't so exhausted. No, her Alpha needed rest, and her problems would have to wait. <br><br>When it came time for the party, Danae had accomplished much, re-bandaging Hiti's ankle and cleaning up her hut. She had needed the distraction, and was glad that she had the two girls to help her keep her mind off of things. Going to her personal hut that was attached to the Healing side of the hut, she changed into her appropriate Omega clothes. They were a bit more colorful than her normal clothes, but they fit her nicely and she only wore them on special occasions such as the feast. In her hair, she put some colorful feathers in the smaller braids, the rest of her waves cascading nicely down her shoulders. Her top was a cloth bandeau, but the beading was shades of blue and green, matching the hues of her eyes. The cloth skirt was a bit more revealing than she liked it, being long in the front and back and open on the sides, but the beading matched her top and to be honest, she had great legs. After putting on some silver and gold bangles on her arms and right ankle, she felt satisfied with her look. <br><br>With a sigh, she went back to the healing side of the hut, looking at the empty cots. The girls had left a while ago, and it was just her. Yes, she was putting off going to the feast, but she couldn't put it off any longer, so she made her way to the Alpha House, nervous about seeing Seni.<br><br>((Link to my Alpha House post: HERE (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=178679.msg8567688#msg8567688).))

He had even managed to see Skrida and tell him about his plans later to escort Unna to the party. Of course, Skrida ended up teasing him about it relentlessly, but it didn't matter to him.<em> 'Let him tease, but I'll be the one with the last laugh,'</em> he remembered thinking to himself earlier that day. Because of his plans to see Unna, he seemed to be counting down the hours, the day never moving fast enough for him.<br><br>When time came to meet her though, Mikla couldn't help but feel nervous. He had made sure to rinse off after the day's work, putting on a clean dark green linen shirt that laced around the collar, showing off some of his chest. The pants he wore were made of leather, though it was a lighter hide and easy to move in. He wore his normal boots, simple, but they were comfortable and nice enough for the occasion. <br><br>He made it to the hut in time to see Unna step outside, a smile spreading across his lips as he walked up. "How are you this evening? You certainly don't look like someone who was fighting a fever all day," he said with a small chuckle. "Oh, and I made this for you," he reached into his pocket and took out a pretty blue silk cloth, that was wrapped around something. He handed it over to her and gave another smile. "I hope you like it, I figured you would need something nice for your first feast here." When she opened it she would find a wooded bracelet, made to fit her delicate wrists. It had a very intricate swirl pattern that wrapped around it, and even had a gold inlay, but that part Skrida helped out with a bit. It was simple, yet beautiful, something that reminded him of the girl in front of him. <br><br>((Link to next post in Alpha House: HERE (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=178679.msg8581091#msg8581091).))

Letting go of L'aen he nosed him over to a place by the fire. Wearily he sprawled out on the floor by the fire and let L'aen explain himself without his help.

The girl was smart, and knew a few things about healing, but there were certainly some flowers that she had never seen before. She told her about the healing properties, and where to find them, and showed her the book where she and many Omega's before her had written this information for future generations. Hiti had been eager to learn, and Danae was happy to teach her, taking some comfort in the girl's company. If learning more about healing was what brought this tender girl closer to the pack, then she was happy to help. <br><br>Arriving with Hiti back at the hut around noon, they came with a few bundles of fresh herbs and Danae had showed her how to mill them down and which herbs worked best with each other. They had managed to stock up Danae's shelves quite a bit for a morning's worth of working, it seemed having some help gathering really did make things easier. And little did she know when Tsaghani would arrive later with Son' Lahleli laying limp in his arms, she would found herself thanking Father Moon that she had stocked up earlier.<br><br><strong>"Hello!!!&nbsp; Anyone here?&nbsp; Son' Lahleli is in need of help.&nbsp; I have done what I can for her but I fear there is still much work needed for her to heal completely.&nbsp; Also there is another wolf in need of help.&nbsp; He's in the little clearing just down the hill."</strong><br><br>The abrupt noise that called out to her had Danae jumping slightly. Her look of shock only grew when she saw Son' Lahleli laid down on one of her cots by the new wolf, Tsaghani. The first thought that came to her mind was Ts'itu, and she wanted to run outside, make sure she was alright. But the Omega in her told her that she needed to tend to Son', even though her heart yearned to check on the woman who was more sister than friend. It was hard to do, but she had a duty to the injured, even though every ounce of her body was pulling her toward the door. With a look toward Astir, she could barely mutter the words, searching for a sign from him that their Alpha was alright. "Ts'itu?," was all she managed to get out, knowing he would understand with the worry in her voice.<br><br>When she had her answer from Astir, she gave a nod and moved over to Son', who seemed to be in dire condition, even at first glance. The wound in her abdomen was soaking the bandage with crimson. She had seen many injuries like this and they didn't always end well for her patients. She moved quickly over to the beta and brushed her hair back with her hand, whispering ancient words of strength to the warrior, hopefully giving peace and calmness to her body. The next moment though, she was undoing the bandage that had been wrapped around her assessing the damage. <br><br>"Hiti, I need a bowl, my tools, and some of the water that's over the fire," her voice was commanding, her usually soft tone now replaced with one reminiscient of her alpha father. After the girl had brought over the items, she would go to work cleaning up some of the blood, trying to get a better look at the wound itself. Her abdomen had been punctured, by an arrow perhaps, and if she didn't staunch the bleeding the woman would certainly bleed out. She took one of the tools out of her kit, a small knife, and put it in the hot coals of the fire. She would need to cauterize the wound and she looked up at Tsaghani. "I’m going to need your help. Hold her down, and make sure she does not move," she gave him a nod to hold Son' down, grabbing the now red-tipped knife. <br><br>Ever so carefully, Danae put the tip of the knife to the wound, searing the wound that was inside of her body. It seemed that the arrow had just barely missed some major organs, but had still gone in pretty deep. She cauterized most of the wound shut, and wiped the blood away so she could see her work. Taking some of the salve she had brought over, she applied it to the area, using it to help stop the bleeding and prevent infection. After reapplying a fresh bandage, she sat back and wiped away the hair on her forehead. It was hard to tell if Son' would make it through the night, but if she did, then she had a very good chance of surviving the injury. <br><br>Going over to a basin in the corner, she rinsed the drying blood on her hands and looked at Astir, who was still in wolf form, also suffering from an arrow to his leg. He had brought a boy with him, and Danae could tell he was something special, perhaps special enough to fight over? After washing off, Danae narrowed her eyes at Astir, knowing he would be a challenge. "Don't get too comfortable, you are next," her tone was one of seriousness, her gaze daring him to try something. <br>

The previous week I was told had been quite cold, as it has always been a winter land.&nbsp; My mother was the resident Omega and my Father was a third in command Beta warrior.&nbsp; My mother named me after the sunlight, because as it broke the clouds, she said I seemed to radiate like a beacon in the snow.&nbsp; <br>When I became a young man, The pack leader position had begun to shift and....

Healing, herbs and the like had always interested her, but the Tikaan did things so differently and had so much more; it was simply fascinating to her. The redhead wasn't her usual self at all, or so it seemed to all who would see her working. She was reliable, determined, not frightened of anything or anyone and she an a elegant, confident aura that surrounded her like the cold itself. Hiti had had....fun. Danae was always sweet and patient with her, and the alone time the two had together definitely improved her view on the wolves, though in the back of her mind she couldn't help feel that they weren't all the same.<br><br>When the two had arrived back to the Shaman hut around midday, Hiti had helped replenish and had taken a short lesson on the art of blending herbs, something she hadn't done much of before her time with the Tikaan. And to think it was only her second day. Maybe things wouldn't be so bad after all. The redhead was dressed in very casual, over-sized clothing consisting of a pair of black cotton trousers tucking into fur boots, a deep green, circle-collar tunic that hung against her small frame loosely which her neckless hung under as per usual, and a pale, almost white fur cloak, which had been hung upon her entering the hut. It was cold out again, the only thing to be expected of winter. Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail, the layers in it fanning out like live flames against the back of her neck. <br><br>Just as Hiti thought the two would get a minute to themselves, to discuss more tips and tricks of the trades, to even talk about what it meant to be an Omega of the pack, the newest member of the group, a tall male Tikaan who she hadn't caught the name of, burst into the hut carrying the female wolf she knew to be Son' something or other. Why was she so bad at remembering names? The sudden slam of the door made her jump, her bright eyes darting over to stare at the two, orbs watching as he made his way to a cot near the fire. Danae rushed over immediately, and Hiti had to admit she was a little envious of her calm demeanor. As soon as her name was called, however, Hiti sprang to action, spinning on her heels to grab all the things that Danae had asked for. Her hands had a mind of their own as she judged what herbs would been needed, collecting everything into a mixing bowl along with bandages and other tools. The girl sped over towards the healer beside the cot where the female Tikaan lay, a composed expression on her flushed features. "Here, Danae." Once she'd extended the items to the Shaman, she took little time to spring to action. There wasn't much she could do, but she would find the thing she could and complete them for the sake of the injured.<br><br>Hiti did notice two other wolves enter, with Seni standing somewhere off in the background, but she didn't dare glance at them as she gathered clean blankets from the corner of the room, pulling them to her chest as if guarding them with her life. Hiti span again, making her way over towards the new male wolf first, who was currently beside Son' on the cot. She placed two folded up blankets at the bottom of said cot, just beside Son'Lahleli's feet. "Two blankets. Please use one for yourself when you are done." She turned to the healer who was just about to get to work. "There's one there for her too, Danae." She felt bad about calling Son'Lahleli <em>'her'</em>, but she simply couldn't think of her full name at that point. <br><br>Next, Hiti turned to the two male wolves lead on the ground by the fire and without even a hint hesitation, she crouched a little in front of Astir. "Here, a blanket for you." She hoped there would be no argument about her needed to tend to the warriors who were badly wounded, but she extended the blanket over the first Tikaan all the same, her expression unwavering. Standing, she moved around to L'aen, offering a simply, warming smile at the stranger. "For you as well." Again, her arms worked by themselves and she extended the final blanket over him, before straightened. She would then head for the door to check how many more were making their way to the hut, holding the door open if needed, before returning to her blanket duties. There wasn't much she could do, but she was going to make use of herself somehow.

His shoulder felt like chewed up hamburger but next to his leg it was nothing. Sharp spikes of pain jabbed at him every now and again when he shifted slightly, uncomfortable to say the least. It was an effort on his part not to just tear off the bandages and pull the thing out with his teeth heedless of what he damaged on it's way out. He wanted it out of him! Yet he knew it wasn't going to be an easy operation. The arrow was barbed with backward facing hooks, small but enough to grab at flesh. He had felt it when the thing shifted as he came down the hill. The wooden splinters hand worked themselves deeper, becoming soft as they soaked in his blood. They would crumble to pieces if Danae wasn't careful. This was not going to be easy and it was most likely going to take the better part of an hour if Danae worked quickly. The risk of permanent damage with accidentally severing a nerve was high. The risk of too much blood loss was high and the risk of infection was high. She would need to pull out the hot irons to stanch the flow as she worked. It was likely she may need to use them more than once. That was just his leg. His shoulder was less bad but it was torn up pretty good. She would have to trim away dead flesh and close it as best she could. Still there was no way it was going to be closed all the way so he would have to have bandage changes frequently to keep infection away.<br><br>He caught Danae's eye and saw the worry in it. His ears perked up and he gave a slight nod of reassurance. Did she think he would leave Ts'itu if she was hurt? Never. The fact that he was here would tell Danae that Ts'itu was fine. Her unasked question answered she turned to her work and he lay his great head on his paws again. The smell of burning flesh came to him and set his fur to hackling. L'aen had taken a seat behind him and he leaned up against the boy as he began to speak to him in hushed soothing tones. It didn't matter what he said because the gentle tones of his voice seemed to take his mind from the pain that gnawed at him. He even let L'aen touch him, though his hand would come away wet with the blood of his former pack mates that that Astir had killed so coldly. That same violence could be turned on him. It was an unnerving thought perhaps.<br><br>Watching the fire he had one ear flicked back at L'aen and one to the room. So the boy was named after the sunlight? Perhaps that was why he felt drawn to him. He was named for the moon and it's heavy shadowed mystery. The two were opposite ends of a force at work. It was only natural they were drawn to one another. The boy's story was a sad one and it reminded him of his own. He had lost his mother when he was very young. There was nothing malicious or ill intentioned in the boy, especially when he lay down so close to him, so trusting of him and yet he head held his life in his hands today. He could have drawn that blade, cut that throat. He could have treated him like the others of his former pack.<br><br>Danae called him from his thoughts by saying he was next. His ears went back and he let out a low rumbling growl and didn't move at all. He didn't try anything he just didn't let anyone near him. He lay like a great blood soaked beast, a rug on the floor and refused to budge. He had that look in those golden eyes, the look that said he was going to bite someone if they hurt him and he wouldn't be able to do much to restrain himself. Being in his wolf form made him a bit more wild. It was unfortunate that he had never learned to control himself, to tame the wolf within. progress was slow and the wolf was strong within him even while in human form. It was perhaps a byproduct of living in a sort of survival mode while growing up.<br><br>The growl only became louder when Seni offered to hold someone down. That someone most likely being him. Still he didn't move from his place on the floor. His head didn't even raise from his paws. The urge to find a dark place to curl up and sleep off his wounds was strong. Under tree roots within an earthen den was what he desired, the scent of mother earth all around him to dampen the scent of blood, to fold him up from the world safe and quiet. It was too bright here, too many people and the scent of blood washed him. Blood of the enemy, blood of his pack, blood of his own all spiced with the sharp scent of fresh herbs.<br><br>Hiti the red head approached him fearlessly with a blanket. He didn't growl at her but fixed her instead with the sharp and intense gaze of his golden eyes. She could almost ride him he was so big, not as big as kon, no kon she could most likely ride like a horse. Indulgently he allowed her to drape the blanket over him. Despite the fire he was cold. The loss of blood was making it's self felt. He was no longer bleeding at the moment but as soon as Dane messed with it he would be. He wondered what was keeping kon and Ts'itu. They should be back any moment now...

Four feet ate the ground faster than two, though she was swift in her human form as well. She ran on instinct, without looking, with no care for anyone who might be in her path, and with a low growl in he throat to warn them away. Anyone who dared to try and stop her would be snapped at and she wouldn't slow one iota. When the Second rushed, you got out of the way or you got trampled...and there'd be no apologies on her part later.<br><br>She couldn't say who had told her that their people had returned. At the words "severe injuries" she'd simply seen red and hadn't paused to ask for details. She'd shifted and started running, her mind racing to the worst two thoughts she could fathom, Ts'itu or Astir being hurt. Her Alpha or her Lover. Neither was an option she wanted to face, but at least Ts'itu would let Danae treat her if she was the one that was hurt. She knew that if it was Astir he'd cause nothing but trouble. The man was more stubborn than even her Father...and that was saying something!<br><br>Skidding to a halt outside the Shaman's House she nosed the door open and slipped inside, her eyes scanning the room, taking in the sight of the injured and breathing a slight sigh of relief that she <em>didn't</em> see Ts'itu. If they're Alpha had been serious injured, even those lying on pallets would have done their best to ensure that she was the first one through Danae's door. If she wasn't seeing her than any wounds that her friend might have were minor. Still, the thought ran through her head that on the next hunt Ts'itu decided she was going on, Astir could stay home and watch the village, and she'd go and watch the Alpha's back!<br><br>Sniffing the air she turned her head and found Astir lying in his own wolfen form and smelling distinctly of blood. A good portion of it his own. Vaguely she heard someone offer to help Danae hold recalcitrant patients down but she pushed the thought away. If anyone was going to Astir down it would be her...and then she'd slap him when she was human-formed again! Giving another low growl she warned those in the house out of her way and made her way toward Astir. She saw the young man near him (L'aen) and the only thing that kept her from growling at him and warning him away was that Astir actually seemed to be listening to what the young man was saying. If he wasn't tense around him, then he wasn't a problem, but 'Nesii would damned sure find out who this stranger was later.<br><br>Moving forward she touched her nose to Astir's lightly, a low whine in the back of her throat, clearly worried about him but unable to see his wounds for the blanket Hiti had put over him. Glaring she gave him a low growl and pressed down on the end of his nose lightly with one paw, being as clear as she could that she intended for him to remain still as she shifted just enough to sniff at him, at least finding out <em>where</em> his wounds were even if she couldn't tell what. If he had a blanket over him she wasn't going to pull it off. Danae knew her business and 'Nesii wouldn't get in the way of it...and she clearly wasn't going to let Astir get in the way of it either, even if it was himself he was getting in the way of it for.&nbsp;

She knew if she staggered too much Kon would come behind to catch her, but her mind was still reeling from his words. Later, she would have to think of that later. For now there was the full copper scent of blood. Simply too much blood. Her upper lip curled back into a snarl as she leant against the open doorframe. Her eyes went to the side, where L'aen was sitting in the snow in his wolf form.<br><br>"Hello there, little sunshine," she said quietly. One hand rested on her hip as she looked at him. "After things are done, I'll need to speak with you. Until then, I suggest staying in the area. The pack will be on high alert. It would be best not to go wandering out without one of us able to explain your presence." Lips pulled into a soft smile. Despite herself, she found him to be quite trustworthy.<br><br>Now she turned her head to look into the brightly lit room. Fierce green eyes studied the scene before her.<br><br>Danae was thankfully already tending to Son' Lahleli, though the beta herself seemed to still be unconscious. Sitting nearby was Tsaghani. From the way he was clutching at Son' Lahleli's unresponsive hand, it seemed almost as if his life instead of hers hung in the balance. The stories sometimes said that true mates couldn't live without the other once they'd been together. She dearly hoped that those stories would not be put to the test with these two.<br><br>Next came Astir and 'Nesii, both curled up beneath a blanket. The smell of Astir's blood was still strong but she was relieved to see that he so far didn't seem to be trying to fight things. Perhaps he'd even allow himself to be cared for properly. She had no doubt that 'Nesii would beat him about if he did try to resist. Despite herself, Ts'itu was relieved to see her second. More even than herself, he would obey 'Nesii. If nothing else than to make sure he was still allowed into the beautiful betas furs.<br><br>With a sigh, she shoved off of the doorframe and began to walk into the room proper. It was hard to fight against the exhaustion still cording her limbs and yet she managed. As she walked past Danae, she rested a hand upon the girl's shoulder. "Thank you, <em>daed'ze</em>," she said. "Let me know if there's anything I can do to help."<br><br>A sweet scent caught her nose then, cutting through the blood and pain. Her eyelashes fluttered closed and she took another deep breath. Calm flooded into her body. "Hiti?" she breathed out, looking over one shoulder.

He didn't know how much longer he would stay on his feet, he didn't even know of he could stand with how weak he felt. He looked to the wolf sitting near the door and smiled a bit. "Someone need company?" He asked the wolf with a tired smirk as he came to a stop next to him and sighed a bit. He hated feeling like he did, he couldn't wait for it to be gone from him. He couldn't wait to be able to relax.<br><br>He leaned forward a bit, swaying. His head felt to light like he was spinning. He made himself stand still as he felt his world reeling about. He let a groan on looked at the wolf once more. "Stay back now, don't want to bleed on you." He said in a soft tone as he moved to the door and leaned on it heavily. He let another groan as he moved inside. "How is Son' Lahleli?" He asked quickly, wondering over her, she had been hurt worse than he or Astir. He looked to the corner and saw Astir and 'Nesii. He smirked a bit and nodded to them.<br>&nbsp;<br>He looked to Ts'itu for a moment and signed, seeing her with Hiti, much as he wanted a bit of comfort it seemed that for now he would go without.

Of course, she would never say anything. Instead, she just suffered silently, pacing the length of the hut to get items that Danae would need, to get blankets and check on the sick and injured. She was too busy to let out a sigh; her breath was level and clam as she stepped past Astir, who had shifted into a wolf with Nesii, the Second to the Alpha, at his side. Thankfully, the unknown wolf who had lead behind Astir had shifted and left the hut, clearing some space. Her bright eyes glanced over towards Danae, who was working with Son'Lahleli; she was a little concerned and the expression crossed her features, as most of her other emotions did. She was an open book but instead of concentrating on that fact, Hiti was busy working. She had to admit, the amount of actual wolves around was making her uneasy and putting her off a little; she'd find herself glance over to the furry forms every now and again to make sure they hadn't moved or vanished. The redhead began back towards the bundle of blankets on the far end of the Omega hut when the door opened once more.<br><br>Her bright eyes turned to watch the entrance, spotting the familiar Alpha. She found herself a little worried, though anxiety was the primary emotion that gripped her heart tightly in its grasp. She let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding, the cold air of the outside seeping in to brush across her form for a second, giving her goosebumps before the warmth took her once more. Hiti turned back to what she was doing; she needed to focus, now more than ever. Her arms scooped a few more blankets, pulling them to her chest tightly as she rotated. Kon was the next to come in and she eyed him for a moment before heading over towards the Ts'itu, who was asking Danae how she could help from what the human could tell. Her brows furrowed into a frown and she paused beside the taller redhead for a second to catch her own name slip through the Alpha's lips. Hiti parted her lips as she began stepping, beckoning Ts'itu to follow her over towards a cot near the fire. "If you would like to help, you can sit here and rest." She paused beside the cot, waiting for Ts'itu to follow her and <em>hopefully</em> do as she asked. One of her hands slipped from the bundle of blankets to place one neatly folded onto the cot she'd reserved for the other. Hiti was happy to wait until she complied.<br><br>It was then that Kon crashed to his knee's and Hiti acted immediately, without thinking. The blankets ended up on a neat pile on the ground beside the cot, where she'd placed them before dashing towards the fell blond. The redhead instantly manhovered herself beneath Kon, her courage practically at its limit as she moved his arm around her neck, standing; which in itself was ridiculous since he was so much taller than her. Hiti's one hand wrapped around his waist, gripping the material on his back since she couldn't physically reach around him completely, while her other one held the wrist of the arm that was currently over her shoulders. "Just bare with it. I'll take you to a bed." Another hope. <em>Hopefully</em> he would comply without much defiance and allow her to take him over towards a spare bed.

She still had to patch up the wound on her shoulder and thigh, but they weren't as bad thankfully. Gathering up a jar of mixed herbs, bandages and her needle and thread, she made her way back to where Son' Lahleli was laying. The man next to her was holding her hand, almost willing her to feel better. She couldn't help but smile at them, his aura radiating love, even through the worry. She had heard tales of a love like theirs, an instant bond between two people, and for his sake she hoped Son' would pull through. <br><br><em>'Speaking of mates,'</em> she thought to herself as Seni's voice echoed through the hut. His presence was soothing to her, and as she looked at him her face softened. Even just knowing he was around was enough to put her nerves at ease and she felt renewed. He would soon be her mate, and even though they didn't have the instant bond, she could feel love growing in her heart. They had a friendship, a deep one, and that spoke more to her than anything. He had been there since the beginning, even when she didn't see it. Giving him a smile, she wanted him to know that even though she was busy, she was still thinking about him. <br><br>Her eyes moved over to the door as it opened once more, Kon and Ts'itu making their way inside, only arriving shortly after Nesii. Relief flooded over her, letting out a sigh. Ts'itu seemed fine physically, but she could read her sadae like a book. Something happened out there besides the attack, and she made a mental note to ask about that later. Kon, however, seemed a little worse for wear. His injuries weren't as bad as Astir's or Son' Lahleli's, but the gash on his shoulder was messy and would take some finesse.<em> 'Are the other packs on us already?,'</em> she wondered, a shiver running down her spine at the thought. <br><br><strong>"Thank you, daed'ze. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help."</strong> A smile came to her lips as Ts'itu spoke to her, taking her friend's hand in hers. "You can help by resting, <em>sadae</em>," she said softly, squeezing Ts'itu's hand for a moment, before releasing her to talk to Hiti. As her eyes went to the two redheads, Danae wondered what it was about Hiti that intrigued Ts'itu so much. It was obvious to her that Ts'itu found some comfort in the girl, and it made her smile. Hiti was so brave, bossing everyone around like that, and she had to hold back a laugh. Hopefully Kon would listen to her, since he didn't always listen to Danae. "Hiti, why don't you make our Alpha some tea? Remember those flowers we picked earlier? Use the green and yellow ones." She smiled at the girl, giving her a nod of thanks. <br><br>With a sigh, Danae turned back to Son' Lahleli and knelt down next to her. "I'm just going to try and tend to these other wounds," she said to Tsaghani before cutting away the fabric on her legs to expose the thigh wound. This wound wasn't wide, but it was pretty deep. After cleaning it, she decided she didn't want to sew this one, it could likely catch an infection if it wasn't able to breathe and be cleaned daily. Instead, she made sure to apply a salve that would prevent infections and then put a sticky bandage on that would hold the wound shut, but still allow easy access if needed. Satisfied, she moved onto the shoulder wound, her brows furrowing. Some of the flesh could be sewn shut, but it would have to be left open for the most part as well. Going to work, she delicately sewed some of wound shut, applying some more cream and then bandaging the rest. <br><br><br>Looking at Tsghani, she shook some loose strands of hair out of her face. "I've done all I can do. I will be cleaning her bandages regularly and applying some cream, so I need her to stay here. You're free to stay as long as you like." She gave a smile, hoping to reassure him. "She is a strong warrior, I have no doubt she can fight this." With a nod, she got up, taking her tools back to the table. Now that she saw Kon's wounds, she decided it was best to work on him first, and then Astir. Since the arrow in Astir's leg was going to take up a big chunk of her time, she didn't want Kon bleeding out in the meantime.

She could tell that her <em>daed'ze</em> was onto her though. One soft hand squeeze and a smile, and Danae had released her hand. As if silent permission to go chase after Hiti had been granted. <em>Am I really that obvious?</em> she wondered, then winced to think of how she'd reacted to the mere scent of the other girl. Subtlety was not her strength, nor, apparently, was keeping her mouth shut.<br><br>"Hiti, why don't you make our Alpha some tea? Remember those flowers we picked earlier? Use the green and yellow ones." Ts'itu scowled at Danae's already turned back, lithe arms folding across her chest. She knew very well what kind of tea was made with those thrice damned flowers, and it was hardly the kind of stuff she needed. Another half day dead to the world was the exact opposite, actually, of what she needed. And then there was Hiti, saying that she could help by resting. Ts'itu's scowl deepened and her green eyes flickered over to the sacrifice.<br><br>"For the Mother's sake, I'm not an invalid. If you need me out of the way you hardly need to knock me out." Despite this, her feet were already directing her toward Hiti. It warmed her just a bit to see the other girl being so brave. The wolf was pleased to see her taking care of the pack. This wouldn't help with the subtlety, but Ts'itu didn't much care. She was the alpha. If she wanted to loom over a sacrifice in a way that better befitted a besotted pup than a woman of her calibre, she was fully allowed to do so.<br><br>Except then there was nothing left of Hiti except a pile of blankets heaped upon the floor. Ts'itu blinked and then shifted her gaze toward the doorway, where Hiti was already trying to haul Kon to his feet. <em>Damn, she moves quickly. Like a little rabbit,</em> she thought, shifting her weight to one foot.<br><br>It seemed Hiti was going to try to carry Kon back to one of the cots. It was laughable considering the extreme difference in their heights and weights. Not that Ts'itu was laughing. Indeed she seemed torn between growling at Kon for daring to touch Hiti, pride at Hiti's courage in touching an injured Tikaan, and the instinct to simply go help them both. In the end instinct and logic won out. She stalked over to the pair and grabbed Kon's free hand to sling his arm around her shoulders. As much as she hated to admit it, instinct was still demanding that he <em>stop touching</em> Hiti. And it wasn't likely to shut up any time soon.<br><br><em>Practicality,</em> she reminded herself. <em>Practicality and pack.</em> "Come on, Kon, let's get you to the bed. I'm sure Danae will want to stitch you up before she tries confronting Astir." There might have been a slight grit to her teeth, a warning that if he were to try to cross her she just might lunge for his throat, but overall there was concern and care. She glanced over at Hiti briefly and smiled a bit lopsidedly at the girl, "Besides, if you stay like this much longer, you'll crush the little rabbit beneath your weight."

They still worked and Astir took a deep breath and let it out as he listened to the gentle boy. He had not asked for comfort and he had not expected it either. Growing up the way he had, giving all of himself in the service of the pack left little room for softness. The boy was kind to him. It was appreciated that he took the trouble to ease his restless mind. He opened his eyes as L'aen stopped and a familiar scent came to him through all the blood. The heady scent much like honey in summer. Yes it was his Nesii.<br><br>Her concern was well founded. He was regrettably a very bad patient for Danae. Though he did his best they couldn't keep him in bed without drugging him&nbsp; and they couldn't drug him without a fight either. He was always tearing stitches and that was after the fact. Good luck trying to get him to come voluntarily into the hut to be treated. He had gotten fairly good at stitching himself back up through countless nights of cursing sitting in front of the mirror and wash bin with a bottle of alcohol to clean things with. It took longer and most likely hurt more but that was how he liked to do it. The fact that he had voluntarily come to the hut, of his own accord, and without orders to do so or with an escort told you he knew it was bad enough that he needed help.<br><br>Like a phantom vision carrying the scent of fresh snow and pine upon her was his Nesii. his tail thumped the floor a few times in greeting as she growled. 'That's my girl.' he thought as he watched the fierce woman of his dreams cross the room over to him. He didn't even raise his head, didn't even move past the short greeting he had given her. He just sighed heavily at her whine unable to reassure her. He growled lightly in response to her growl trying to tell her not to fuss so much. However he didn't move when she put her paw on his nose even though he protested by growling louder and eventually shaking her paw off his nose. The movement hurt his shoulder and he grimaced and snarled at her to be still and stop fretting. L'aen lifted the blanket enough for Nesii to come under but also enough for her to see the wound to his left leg and right shoulder.<br><br>Astir by this time saw Ts'itu come in and kon's scent was not far behind, indeed he managed to stumble in and proceed to make a fool of himself as the women had to help him up. He was sure Kon would be mortified to have the little red head Hiti trying to help him up. The man still didn't know his limits. His ear' flicked to Danae as she spoke and he caught her gaze as she seemed to decide to deal with kon first. He wondered if Son'Lahleli would make it. It was really too soon to tell and he was not reassured by Danae's words. he shut his eyes after that, ears twitching at sounds as he felt his weariness drag at him. Nesii was here, she would be his eyes and ears, his strength. It was alright to shut his eyes for a moment. Drifting on that edge between sleep and waking reality was where he found himself, not fully awake and not fully asleep. He would wake quickly if he wanted to but sleep seemed to dance away from him, determined to leave him in the pain, refusing to let it lift even for a moment. The heat of the room had thawed him and his wounds stung sharply, throbbing to the beat of his heart.

He was shocked. "I am fine, is a man not allowed a bit of breath?" He said, shaking his head a bit. He didn't know what to feel or think, his pride wasn't insulted, he didn't feel bad about what was happening, he knew that he needed the help. He moved toward an empty cot as he was lead, holding most of his weight on his own feet and leaning far more on Ts'itu than he allowed himself to on Hiti. <br><br>"I'll not crush what I am barely touching. And why not work on the pretty little wolf in the corner, he is probably enojoying himself." He said with a bit of a smirk as he reached a bed and moved his arms from over the two women and looked at them both for a moment, shaking his head a bit as he took a deep breath and lowered himself to sit on the bed, not sure what to say anymore, not sure of anything as it was. He just wanted his mind to stop racing and let him be at peace. He looked up at Hiti and gave her a soft smile. "Thank you, both." He said, looking to Ts'itu after his words and then looking away, the Alpha would know the admission of weakness he had just made, most in the room would and he hated it.

If he could be glad to see her, that was a good thing. She wasn't, however, grateful when he actually growled at her and shook her paw off his nose. She knew he was probably annoyed with her show of concern, but she didn't much care. He was hurt, she was going to be concerned and he could live with it. Turning to look at him she saw the pain that flashed through his eyes from his shaking his head making his wound hurt more and she chuffed at him in satisfaction. If he was going to growl at her and cause himself pain, she wasn't going to show him any sympathy for it! However she didn't snap at him either which had been her first instinct.<br><br>Seeing L'aen lift the blanket for her she gave him a soft yip by way of thanks and examined what she could of Astir's wounds. She didn't like what she saw either. From a strictly triage viewpoint she understood why Danae wasn't over helping Astir yet, but from an emotional viewpoint she wanted to run over and drag the Healer over to him! Still the arrow still lodge in him was tampanading his bleeding, keeping it at a slow ooze instead of letting him bleed out, she so didn't bark or growl to get the Omega's attention but, instead, curled up at Astir's back to share her warmth with him.<br><br>Waiting until the blanket was over them both, she let her change flow over her, not caring if any of her Pack Mate's saw, it was something all of them did, and not caring who knew that this meant she was naked as she shifted her now human form so that she could curl against his back in a way she couldn't as a Wolf.<br><br>Quietly, so only he would hear, she muttered as she stroked his soft fur, "You fool man. If you go and let the Spirits take you after finally catching me, I will chase your ass into the Afterlife. I will be the first living person to haunt the dead if I have to and you won't like the results so you'd just better stick around and let Danae take care of you!"<br>

She then caught sight of Ts'itu moving towards them and her head instantly turned from Kon to watch the Alpha. A small smile pulled at her lips as she straightened when the other redhead balanced the male Tikaan. "Alright. Let's get you sat over there." She sounded confident for once. The small redhead gestured to the cot besides Ts'itu's with a small nod of her head and a light shrug of her shoulder. Hiti began across the floor, her steps small and hurried because of the size of the strides the other two were taking. Her bright green eyes would occasionally glance to Kon's face, then to Ts'itu's, before she'd look straight ahead; with the amount of people crowding the hut, she didn't want to walk into anyone or end up tripping over a wolf. <br><br>It didn't take too long to get across the room to the cot and once there, Hiti released the stronger male with a light sigh, letting him sit down by himself, though her eyes watched him cautiously. "I'll just fetch a blanket." The redhead span and made her way over towards the neat pile she'd left beside the Alpha's designated cot, picked up the last of them to press against her chest, before making her way back around the bed to Kon. She pulled the blanket from her arms and straightened it out before draping it over the blond. "Let me know if you need anything else, OK?" She flashed him a brief smile before turning to Ts'itu. "Thank you for the help. Now please, sit down." She took a small step back, out of the gap between the two beds to allow space for the Alpha to get to hers. "I will go and make some tea for you both. I won't be a minute." Turning without a second thought, her long red head flaring out from her ponytail like live flames, Hiti began over towards a small table against the far side of the room. Only a few steps away, Hiti turned back to them and spoke again, a genuine smile playing on her features. "I'll be here if you need me." Then she carried on walking, her back to them as she reached her destination. <br><br>It didn't take her long to make the tea; she'd made one for Kon as well while he waited for Danae to see to him. The girl used a tool to grind some tea leaves, then used the hot water that had been boiling on the fire and filled two cups. Her focused, emerald eyes watched her hands carefully as she completed the job, placing the cups of boiling liquid onto a wooden tray. Hiti, picked up the object delicately and turned, her eyes staring at the tray in her hands. It was known that she could be a little clumsy, so she kept her movements slow and she hadn't filled the cups too much, just in case. Once at the Alpha's and Kon's bedside, she lowered the tray to each of them, offering them a cup each. "It's not too strong, I hope. I didn't want to knock you out or anything." A small giggle passed her lips, but she quickly cleared her throat, saving more embarrassment.

It became background noise without meaning or understanding just sound he wished to escape from. Sound that grated on him. He hated getting hurt like this. The way Nesii looked at him when she saw how he was wounded, the concern that turned to alarm in her eyes let him know how much she cared for him. She was warm against him even as she changed into her human form. Her gentle stroking of his blood soaked fur, blood of the enemy, soothed him. He was a good warrior and he knew it could have been a lot worse today than it had been. His ear flicked to her as she spoke to him in muted tones. He would have smirked softly at her and told her there was no need. He wouldn't go into death so quietly or easily. <br><br>Was he a fool? Perhaps if you count the foolish, selfless bravery he threw himself into when protecting his pack. He could not help the fact that he was a warrior. That he put himself between Ts'itu his alpha, the pack and there enemies. He would meet those who would do them harm on the battle field and give his life doing so if his service demanded it of him. But, not before dragging the enemy down to hell with him. Such devout loyalty, such selflessness, such devotion to the ones he loved was his entire world. He would give his life to save theirs without a second thought and without regret. She would come to understand this about him. As for him co-operateing for Danae, well, he made no promises. Pain made him do things he normally wouldn't do in his right mind. he was sure that they would be holding him down as he snarled and snapped at them as Danae worked. To ask him to endure such pain, even Ts'itu could not expect him to follow such an order to be still and compliant for it.<br><br>His ears flicked back a moment and he gave an affectionate growl to her but it told her he made no promises he knew he could not keep. he was a loyal and disciplined man but he did not have the self discipline to make himself hold still to be treated. he lashed out when others hurt him, even if they were trying to help. He just couldn't help it. He only hoped she could understand and forgive him, that he was doing the best he could.<br>

Even though they had just met, he and Son' Lahleli had a bond that few could understand and she wished there was more she could do to ease his worry.&nbsp; <strong>"Thank you Danae... if its alright I would like to help with the changing of bandages and putting on the creams.&nbsp; I feel... so helpless.&nbsp; I feel like I need to be doing more for her than just sitting around and holding her hand."</strong> She was hesitant, but after a few moments, she gave a small nod. "If that would ease your mind, then feel free. But know this, being here with her is the best medicine anyone could give her, even me." Giving him another smile, she stood up and gave his shoulder a reassuring touch, sending up another silent prayer to Father Moon and Mother Winter. <br><br>Making her way back over to the table to gather some more crushed herbs in a bowl, she finally noticed Kon was being carried by Hiti and now Ts'itu. She was thankful to have the girl around to help, and if Hiti kept up the good work, she could perhaps be taught much more than what most humans knew about Tikaan healing. Watching them carry Kon over to the cot, she was glad that at least Kon was listening to them, or perhaps he was just too injured to argue? Either way, she was glad he seemed a bit less sour over being in her hut, though Ts'itu being present might have something to do with that. Going back to her herbs, she put them on a tray along with a bowl of clean, hot water, fresh bandages and her needle and thread. <br><br>She came over to Kon and knelt beside his cot, the scent of Hiti's freshly brewed tea making it's way to her nose. It wasn't very strong, which was good, she would need Ts'itu and Kon alert, but at least it would help relax the muscles and nerves. <em>'And perhaps Ts'itu will actually drink it,'</em> she thought to herself with a small shake of her head. Turning her attention back to Kon, she examined the gash on his shoulder, her forehead wrinkling slightly in thought. The wound wasn't terribly fatal, but like Son' Lahleli's, it was messy and would require some finesse, something she was glad she had an abundance of when it came to healing. <br><br>"I’m going to have to clean this first, Kon," she said looking up at the man as she grabbed a clean cloth and started to gently clean the wound. The blood was starting to dry and she had to make sure that she could see everything before starting the stitching. "I cannot sew all of it, it's too messy, the rest will have to heal together on it's own." She grabbed her needle and thread, giving him a look that told him to prepare himself. Taking a deep breath, she went to work on the gash, stitching what she could and leaving the rest open. The whole process took about fifteen minutes, but when she was done, she was happy with it. <br><br><br>Sitting back on her legs, she wiped the hair away from her face with her arm. Rinsing some of the blood off of her hands with the bowl of water, she gave Kon a small glare. "You must be careful," she said as she took some salve in her hand and rubbed it gently on his wound. "Give it time to heal before resuming your duties, or I will be forced to keep you here." She gave him another accusing glance, knowing how he is when he gets injured. "I will keep you overnight, just to apply more salve and change the bandages, but if you abuse it, the wound will not heal properly and that would not bode well for you." She applied a fresh bandage, hoping her words got to him, praying he would listen. When she was done, she stood up, taking the bloodied rags and the tray back to her table. Next up was Astir, and healing him would take a while. She was glad at least to have 'Nesii there, and gave the woman a small nod in thanks beforehand.
