its a kodiak moment

“it mean ‘thank you’” Zola replied, remembering too late that these foreign wolves did not speak her tongue. She had been raving in her language and Eliphas had put up with it until his questions burned in the mind. “sangoma are healer, yes.” it didn’t mean healer, but it was a title generally associated with her people’s more lawful aligned ones. He also did not seem to know where he was going or what he would do. The apprentice grunted softly, squaring her shoulders and testing her now residing pained muscles. She placed a paw in front of her, putting pressure on the shoulder she had wounded. It was now dull due to the muti. in time, it would heal. If possible, she would gain fresh scars. And her people would sing of her victory over the devil beast.

But her thoughts were interrupted when he asked her where she would go. “I go with” her amber eyes flashed confusion. Did he think she wouldn’t go with him? hadn’t it been apparent? He tended to her wounds, saving her life. She owed him a debt now, and it was not something she took lightly. The healers of her people always were owed due to their work. And her tribe protected them within their ranks. But Eliphas had no tribe to protect him. Her tone was light but stubborn. She was not going to let the little man out of her sight. He couldn’t handle himself in a fight. She would feel bad, leaving him to grasp at ghosts alone. “we find family.” her paw raised higher to pound at her chest, a symbol of her willpower. His little quest was now her own.

"but now, make fire" she added in, gathering a few blades of grass and sticks from the spring nearby. placing them together, she bent down to pluck her spear up. angling it to rest against her shoulders with the metal tip down, she struck the metal with her saber fangs to spark a flame. "get meat" Zola added, looking up from her attempt before glancing down. it wasn't an order, but it sounded like one due to her broken English. if Eliphas walked away, she would finally strike true. a small flame started to burn against the ground. Zola quickly placed a few rocks around the fire to control it. then she waited for the bear meat and skins. maybe even a piece of pelt. she would craft.
