Something Different...

Walk | Talk | Think

For some odd reason, Anais's question about healer training prompted the excitable grey wolf's tail to stop wagging while her look went suddenly thoughtful, almost serious, and the elder sister noticed. That's weird. She was sure bringing it up would make Lior even more excited, and start her on an hour long, one-sided conversation expanding on all the new plants, techniques, and remedies that she had learned about. It was supposed to be a happy thing, not something that she figured her sister would need to think on first. Did this mean her work had become less fun somewhere along the way? Was she unable to share what she had learned because of some secretive healer's code? Or was there a possibility it was not truthfully going well enough to warrant an excited response?

Her own look lost some of its joy as worry began to creep into her thoughts, though Lior assured her things were fine. Moss compresses and aloe leaves sounded like a good start, and though the hunter was unsure what their uses were for she was happy to hear it and wagged her tail with relief. That was a good sign, right? It meant her sister was learning something, and making herself ready to help anyone who showed up in her healer's den in need of tending. "That sounds great," she said with her smile still intact, though she cast a quick glance over her sister's shoulder toward the shadowed interior of the den Lior had claimed. Maybe, perhaps even that day, Anais could convince her sister to show her how she had set up her space and everything she had gathered to fill it.

The conversation changed, moving on to talk of their brothers beyond the border of the pack lands. The news that they had moved further south was a little disheartening since it meant visiting them as she planned would send her further from home, but knowing they were closer to where their parents rested eased some of that disappointment. If she visited her brothers, that meant she would be able to visit the graves of her parents too, and that was something too special to pass up. It was, however, the news of Jakart's possible girlfriend that piqued her interest the most. "What?" Jakart had a girlfriend? "Since when? And who?" Oh, she hated being so outside of loop with her siblings! She really, really needed to change that now.

She was practically bouncing in place with excitement and curiosity, full of even more questions that she wanted to bombard her sister with to drag every ounce of information she had out of her. But before they began tumbling out, one after the other in an endless stream, the golden brown wolf was floored by her sister's observation. Bulking up for winter? Anais blinked, her expression blanking, as she seriously turned her head and body to evaluate her frame. "I didn't think I had..." she muttered, though as she looked and took notice of herself more closely for the first time she thought she saw it. Was she really gaining weight? She was nowhere near as vain as their mother had been, but she did feel a bit of embarrassment from having it brought to her attention. "I don't even eat most of the things I catch," she admitted helplessly, while the look on her face began drooping under the weight of a new worry. Was this bad? Was something wrong with her?
