In her jaws was a bundle of herbs, of a bass-ic collection of those used to disinfect wounds and to dress them. Every healer must learn this knowledge, but in case she would be out collecting herbs or aiding an injured wolf, Abaven would need more Vor's should she disappear. Her mismatched gaze had glanced backward multiple times to see of the rusted brute was following, with his own herbs as well. A cavern came to view, as she would saunter inside, sitting in the entrance, where light poured onto her milky pelt, depositing her bundle on the floor just between her paws, curling her pearly tail elegantly about herself. Mismatched gems gazed outward at the rust male, audits pricked. "Are you ready to begin your training?"

Trailing behind the pretty fae, Xae was forced to keep his eyes on the back of her paws. He would not allow himself to look up. He would not... Harmony stopped walking and Xae's will not to look up caused him to nearly run into the same backside he was attempting to avoid. He narrowly avoided ramming into the light girl, jumping to the side. He looked up at Harmony's face, giving her a short nod. The russet male lowered his skull, dropping his own small bundle of herbs in front of him. "I am always ready to expand my knowledge, Lady Harmony." While he called most others by their rank names - such as Azat Bass - Xae had developed a bit of habit calling Harmony 'Lady'. It began when he'd first met her, and hadn't known her name. "Speech" Thought

Taske has stumbled upon these caves only by chance, it was again by chance that she decided to stay for a few days, and then again by chance that on one of those days she smelled not one but two wolves move close to her sleeping nest. The warrior jumped to her paws then, her nose hitting the air. It was a pack wolf, from what pack she had no idea.

Creeping forward the ebony girl moved to the entrance of the cave she made her temporary home and spotted not one pack wolf but two. Taske watched them, her amber eyes watching as the female turned and fixed the male with her gaze. She said something about training? What kind of training? The female did not look like a warrior, and she carried about some plants. Curiosity seemed to grip The black wolf as the darker male moved forward to answer the lighter female.

Well nothing for Taske to do until the duo moved on, so she might as well sit down and watch the 'training'. Taske sit, her amber eyes trained on the pair, wanting to know what would happen next.

The rusty male had followed indeed, his lyrics of much elegance, more than she had wished upon. 'Lady Harmony' did seem to have a nice ring to it, but she did not truly enjoy the rusty boy calling her specially that, with no other wolves owning such a title bestowed by him. She would dismiss this information as just a whim of some sort, a show of respect to his mentor, which she appreciated. Her shoulders rolled as he would sit down near her, depositing his own bundle of herbs. She nosed about in her small pile, until a peculiar leave tickled her nose. Just moving her muzzle to grasp the singular stalk she would pick it up, craning her mocha capped crown and drop it. "This herb is Horsetail, a herb that grows on wet, sandy areas, such as the rapids near my den, so I will always have a plentiful supply if you ever need any when you are healing a wolf if I am not around." Gently, she would lay a paw on the stem and pull several leaves. "It is usually used to bind open wounds when applied topically, but make sure it is fresh and clean. However, you can ingest it in small doses to help with kidney issues as well as bladder issues, and can support healthy claws." She would nose the herb toward the male, so he could inspect it and get an idea of what the herb appeared so to be and it's scent, should they ever run out by the rapids and in the plains of Abaven territory.

While her creamy lips moved to form words, to teach the inexperienced healer-in-training, Xae kept his eyes on the herb that Harmony had nosed. It made it difficult for him to completely listen, but, with his slightly floppy ears pricked, only the tips folding at an imperfect eighty degree angle, he caught her musical notes. Her words - no, her voice made his heart quicken. Xae felt irritation spring up, and his ears twitched to lie flat against his skull, but the russet creature more consciously held his ears forward. It wouldn't do for Harmony to see him irritated. She might think he was irritated at her, or worse, that he didn't understand what she was teaching him. In truth, even with her distracting company, Xae caught everything she was saying, and perhaps his heart held on to it more than his mind. Dull, drey eyes took in every inch of the plant, memorizing its thick, bamboo-like stem, its skinny leaves. When Harmony had finished, the male gave a nod of his head and looked up, reciting what she had just told him. "Horsetail. Thrives in wet, sandy areas. Capable of binding open wounds. May be ingested in small quantities to aid in kidney or bladder issues, and promotes health claws." He spoke in his quiet, smooth tone, his eyes searching Harmony's for approval. "Speech" Thought

Ah, now Taske understood what was going on, it was more training of the mind than of the body. That made the warrior huff a bit, yes the girl understood the need for smart wolves, but of one so young? In Taske's mind, the young should learn to defend, and to fight and the old was to learn the ways of wisdom only after they became incapable of defending. But than again, who was she to say about anything, she had no memories of a pack or a family so how she got this concept she had no idea. The only thing left in her mind what the name, Taske. She only assumed that it was her name, she truly did not know. Hell, her name could be something else entirely but she was unable to remember.

That was not all that was slightly disappointing to Taske but also the fact that the pair had not scented her. She was not that far that her smell would not reach them, nor was she downwind of them, so even just a slight sniff would reveal her, but for whatever reason the due not only did not check that no other wolf was withing range of them, but they did not pay attention after ward. The pair could have stumbled upon a bear or even another malicious wolf, well it was good for then that it was just Taske lurking in the shadows for not only will Taske not do anything to them, but she will also watch for any disturbances, so that the male could get his lesson in peace.

Sometimes Taske hated her morals, for if she was not such a good person she would just walk back into her cave and sleep the rest of the day away, or maybe pick up and move all together.

Well maybe it was a bit more than her morals that held Taske, she was also kinda interested in what the light female was saying. The ebony warrior lifted her paw to rub against the still fresh wound, maybe if she had this knowledge she would be able to prevent whatever happened to her again, or even get back her stolen memories. Yes, she would stay, with the hope of getting her lost self back and to protect the oblivious duo.

The mocha caped temptress was indeed proud of the young healer, despite his distracted looks, as he recited what she had said about the herb, watching his eyes search the herb, remembering it's scent and appearance. She would give a warm and approving nod, mismatched gems shimmering with delight at how fast he was learning. "Good Job, Xae." You already will be a good healer. The tempest had meant to add on the words, but she didn't want to greet the rusty male with overly desired pride from retaining such knowledge so quickly. There were so many other herbs to learn yet, some that even she did not know, yet. She had gone to nose through her bundle once more, but a scent would trickle into her nose, causing her veldt audits to rise upward, pearly banner to veer to a standstill. A rogue, it seemed. "Xae, I am sorry. I will be right back." Her pearly figure would rise to her stilts, as she would turn, venturing into the darkness, mismatched gems curious to see what lurked in the darkness. "Hello?" Her knees were bent, poised and ready for any assault.

Her praise brought a rare, genuine smile to the usually fairly blank-faced male, and he couldn't hide the slight puffing in his chest. He knew he did a good job. He had always had a fantastic memory, and his desire to learn helped him find his own ways to memorize things. Harmony had paused in her nosing, and Xae himself froze when she did. She had said she'd be back, but when she headed for the cave, the dark rust-colored male hopped up to follow. Bass would never, ever forgive him if Harmony was harmed in his company, and frankly, Xae would never forgive himself. His nose twitched, and now that he caught the smell of the loner, he wondered how he'd missed it before. He glanced at Harmony and away again quickly, knowing exactly the cause. He'd been distracted. Not just by the opportunity to learn, but by the fact that he was alone with Harmony. Well, he thought he was alone. The russet male moved forward so he was more next to Harmony, rather than behind her, his own body lowered, muscles tensed, eyes narrowed and watching the darkness for a stirring presence. Xae was not a fighter - far from it - but he readied himself to defend himself and Harmony, anyway. "Speech" Thought

Taske was about to sit on her backside to continue to watch the show when the teacher seemed to have wised up, she turned her head to the air and gave a sniff, which stopped her in her tracks of her lesson. She commanded the brute to stay and trotted toward the shadowy part of the cave she stood. A amused smile crossed her maw as she moved closer, her dual toned eyes almost squinting at the shadows trying to see past them. At the thought Taske did smile as she called out to her, seeming unable to see her. Well it is black on black, with the only color her eyes... And her scares. "Took you long enough, I thought I was going to get a lesson in herbs to."

A small smirk came about from her smile. "Even though it is a bit late to help me." Taske moved forward into the light, not wanting to alarm the duo, and make them think that she meant them harm. It was at that moment that the male joined them. "Come now, is that some way to treat someone you woke up from a nap?" Taske smirked down at him, her amber eyes full of young confidence, something she had not felt in a long time, not since she wondered into this land a nameless git, someone no one wanted, injured and confused. But for whatever reason Taske felt like acting her age for once, and that entailed her to be a smart ass.

"Well its not like you could do much to me, little guy." Taske gave him her cockiest grin , "Looking at me up close, do you think you can take me?" She moved further into the light, her large body relaxed, but even so she was taller than even the male. "No need to be tense, I am not going to do anything to either of you, I was merely sleeping when I smelled you both, I got up and after watching I decided to watch more, that is when miss scented me." Taske smiled at both teacher and student. "Hope you don't mind."

The mocha cloaked temptress would give only a slight growl as the warrior would reveal herself to the duo, the chocolate colored boy approached as well. Her knees bent, her bodice poised next to the chocolate colored boy, mismatched gems locked on the warrior should she make a move on either canine. The warrior's voice came to pinned ears, replied to with a polite growl. "Sorry to intrude on your napping, but the future of my pack lies in the paws of learning the healing art. I was simply here to train one of my apprentices. As soon as we finish our lesson, we will leave. If you want to learn of some herbs, maybe some for that scar upon your face, I would watch." With a flick of her banner, the temptress would turn, sauntering back to her bundle of herbs, motioning the chocolate colored boy back to the entrance.

Xae wasn't certain if the black beast was to be trusted, and was even less certain as she revealed herself, her face horribly scarred. The russet male did not attempt to hide his watchful look, taking in her tall - taller than even him - frame, her muscles thick and likely well-worked, unlike Xae's, whose limbs were strong only from running. She seemed practiced in the art of fighting - Xae, not so much. He felt suddenly inadequate. His grey gaze shifted - briefly, for Bass's growling voice stuck in his head, reminding him to keep his eyes to himself - to Harmony. She herself was likely not a fighter, though he doubted that she was ignorant in fighting. With siblings like Motif and Bass, he doubted that very seriously. But was she a match for the scarred loner? Either way, the black female stated twice that she was not going to harm them. After Harmony turned away, Xae's grey gaze watched the loner for a beat longer before he obediently turned away, only black-tipped, slightly floppy ear pointed in the black beast's direction. He stopped in front of Harmony, nosing around in their now-shared pile of herbs. He plucked a green-stemmed white flower. "If I am not mistaken, this herb is yarrow. It is used for minor wounds to stop bleeding." His grey eyes looked up to meet Harmony's mismatched ones. "I cannot recall its other uses," his voice was full of shame, "but it is common, and found in dry, grassy, and undisturbed plains." "Speech" Thought

Taske could see when she wasn't wanted, which was kinda was kinda rude, it wasn't like she walked in on them in there pack lands. No they came to some caves that could belong to someone and expects that person to roll over? Well they are lucky that Taske is a noble protector and not a blood thirsty wolf, something she could see that the male thought. That is to bad for them, then. She was even ready to have a bit of fun with them but noooo, the female had to get all "Im too important to stay and talk" attitude with her. "I think I am fine with the face I have, for all I know I got my scares from protecting someone and I should wear them with pride."

Taske shrugged as the two walked away from her. "I think I will pass, no point to stay where your not wanted." Ah well, maybe the next time she felt up to friendly banter with someone they will stay and play, not wolves to absorbed in them self to even scent the area before they set up a school.

Taske started to make her way out of the caves and toward the fields that lay not to far from them, it was time for her to go anyway,She had spent to much time in this one location, and whoever could be after her could be close.

If the two did not make a reason for Taske to stay she would leave, without a word or sound.

ooc. welp, it seems like this is the end for me xD unless you can think of a reason for Taske to stay then you two can carry on without me. =)

Now the temptress felt disappointed with herself for snapping at the warrior, her mind drifting from her apprentice to hear her speech. "You can stay here. You were here before us. We ought be the ones not wanted and chased off." Her mismatched gems would shine in the light of the cave's entrance, as she continued her speech. "I am sorry for snapping at you, miss. We did not know your intentions yet." With her speech, she would stride toward Taske, nudging her gently in the direction of the caverns, before she would go back to her bundle of herbs and pick them up. "Let's leave this woman in peace. We can train somewhere else." Her pearly banner whisked behind her, as she would saunter toward the exit of the caverns, to walk away from it, but stay in the general vicinity of the caverns.

Xae barely held in an exasperated sigh. He didn't want Harmony to think that he was irritated with her - though a part of him, regretfully, was - or that he was frustrated with their lesson. However, the seemingly continuous interruptions seemed to happen one after another. Xae felt as though his lesson would never be finished, and he'd never learn about every herb, or every injury. His "addiction" to knowledge was proving more and more disadvantageous. He was getting irritable when his need for learning wasn't being met, and his strive for knowledge had already caused him to be late for the pack's hunting exercise. Of course, the russet male didn't consider this; to him, his desire to learn and become educated was a healthy thing, and it would never backfire on him. Frankly, he didn't care if they forced the black beast off of "her" territory or not. He just wanted to keep up with their lesson. It seemed silly, to him, that they should walk away. But Xae didn't speak his thoughts. He glanced from Harmony to the ebony warrior, then back to his teacher. With only a soft, inaudible sigh, he strode after her, pausing only to pick up the rest of the herbs in his jaws. Quietly, the healer-in-training padded after the chocolate-and-cream female. When he reached where she desired to go, he stopped and dropped his bundle. "Do you require me to repeat the information I explained earlier?" He nosed the yarrow plant, singling it out from the rest of the herbs. "Speech" Thought

Taske huffed as the female called out to her, she ignored her apology but still desired to give the girl an answer to her statement. "No I think I will still go, this land is not mine after all I am only a visitor as are you, but unlike you I do not have another place to go so I have to stay a little longer than most." She did not spear them a glance and walked off, ignoring the male like he ignored her.

Exit Taske
