He nudged her, and she responded in kind, with words that existed, and we're definitely words. They just didn’t go together in a string like that, at least he was pretty certain that they didn’t. Or was alligator a word? He didn’t think he’d heard that one before. “What's an Alligator, Auntie Aire?” he asked with interes, nudging her gently again. He wasn’t certain if she was awake enough to listen or respond. He wondered if he should call a healer, she was acting real weird.

She groaned and groaned, and he bit back a giggle. At some point the pup had grown to tower over her, and besides. It was Io, she was like cotton clouds. Like Indy’s fur, soft and cuddly.

“What what?” he echoed back, watching her with a studious sort of curiosity. Like she was some strange specimen he had never seen before. Like he expected her to do weird things, and spout more words he didn’t know.

He got out of the way when her stomach started to make weird noises and she rolled. She got over the fence, and started to hack up some sort of poison. He was right, she had been poisoned! Of course, the only healer Mort could think to take her to was lying right before him, hunched over, stinky, covered in feathers, and making weird noises.

Mort turned around, grabbing the bucket Odette was using to water her chickens, hooking a claw around the handle, he brought it over to Io. He upturned it over her face, spraying away the icky stuff that had come out of her mouth. He didn’t empty all the bucket, he settled the rest beside her for her to drink from. He wasn’t sure if she was going to retaliate for her early morning bath. Instead of skuttling away, he took a step back and asked. “Are you dying?”
