in between the light and the dark

It was only then that Eris began to pick up on the slightly awkward atmosphere. Oxide clearly wanted Riva to leave... but why? She seemed so kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. In fact, Eris thought she could learn a lot from her. How perfect! Not only had she made one friend, he had led her straight to another. How could she let him know to relax without making Riva uncomfortable?

"Oh! Thank you for the compliment, I just did what I could with what I had," Eris said modestly. "I do most of my gathering by scent, so occasionally my methods wind up being a bit unconventional," she admitted, twitching her tail. It was true - while some healers could identify herbs and other useful tools by their color and shape, Eris relied almost entirely on her nose to source her materials. It was certainly easier to find some herbs than others by scent alone.

Noticing Oxide's increasing discomfort, Eris pressed her much smaller body close to him. She was the smallest one between the trio, but that wasn't uncommon. Eris sniffed at Riva's salve, nodding appreciably. Honey was unmistakably sweet and delicious. Just the whiff of it made her want a lick, even though she knew it was also purely medicinal. "Yes, we'll cover all the bases," Eris said, pressing her paw on top of Oxide's and tapping out the Ademic over and over again for smile. Smile. Smile. Smile. Smile. Smile.

"Oh, it's not a bite," Eris added. "We had a run-in with a wolverine." We. She pressed her cheek against him as she said it, thanking him wordlessly with the gesture.

"Speech."
