On Death and Dying
She had to admit, she liked her new uncle. They were on the outskirts of Abaven, and she was showing her uncle her favorite place ever! Well, her favorite place when it wasn't all muddy. Honestly, she really enjoyed his company, and she was happy that he had come to join Abaven and be with her. While she was still warming up to him, she was trying her best. It helped a lot too that he was so patient with her, and didn't get mad because she was afraid or hesitant. They had been out for the better part of the morning, working on her hunting practice since she lacked...quite the amount of skills because her own parents had up and left. And while her uncle had been here for no more then a day or two, he had wasted no time in spending time with her.
As they two practiced, the air was cut through with a...howl? Quake immediately stopped her crouch, standing to peer across the trees as her ears fell back a little. Who was that? It didn't take long for a rather familiar bird to fly by, and as quickly as possible it told them what was happening. "R-right! Uncle Kakashi, we must hurry!" She spoke in a tone of urgency as she bolted back into abaven territory. She knew the voice, she had been told what was happening, and while she didn't know what was exactly happening, she figured that Starling might need his herbs. She was happy to have met the healer, he was the reason she chose to want to pursue healing in the first place. Once she got his healing bag, she held onto it firmly before bolting back the way she came and headed straight towards the source of the call. Her uncle hot on her heels.
It would take them several minutes (more or less?) to arrive, and Quake's fur bristled in alarm when she spotted the flailing form of Finch? Oh no! She had been missing, and they found her...but like this? What was happening? She faltered in her steps for a second as her eyes widened with horror, heart pounding rapidly until her uncle nudged her forward. Even though she wanted to shake like a leaf, she had to be strong and brave so her uncle and the others could be proud of her! A split moment later, she continued forward to Starling's side and placed his herbs at his feet. "I-I thought you might need this! W-what do you need me to do?" Was there anything she could do? She wanted to help, she wanted to take her first step in learning how to help, and she definitely wanted to try and help Finch...but how? "SPEAK" |
