a little help

Nodding when she hears Roan’s soft voice as he repeats the list, Meadow adds, “I would start with the ginger and mint. Have her chew some mint leaves and brew ginger tea. If her stomach accepts that, go for the fennel next. Chamomile can also help her sleep so use that when you want her to relax more.” As she explains more and he listens with eager ears, Meadow finds a deep admiration growing for the wolf. He really loves Io and something about the way he listens with persistent earnest shows Meadow the depth of that love.

When she has finished and offers him the ginger and fennel, he agrees to wait while she goes to fetch the other ingredients. His humble thanks brings a soft smile to Meadow’s lips and, before she moves to run to her den, the smaller wolf moves forward and aims to bump her head lovingly against his. She tells him, “Of course, Roan. You are my family now. I do anything for my family.” Stepping back, offering him one more warm smile, she then turns around to spirit toward her den.

The trip is fast and Rigel flies has to pump his wings hard to keep up with her furious pace. Arriving, she pushes past the door and into the chamber that leads to her side. The mint leaves and chamomile are quickly bundled together in a leather pouch and put in her bag. She picks a medium size jar of honey and that too goes in her bag. As she turns to leave, a big leather pouch catches her eye. Stuffing it inside her bag, she again takes off back to the garden. Paws pound the dirt, closing the distance.

Meadow and Rigel arrive back quickly and she returns to Roan as Rigel perches on top of the greenhouse. Slightly breathless, Meadow produces the pouch of mint leaves and chamomile and the jar of honey. “Another thing you can do, if she is having a hard time eating, rub some honey on her gums. This will help produce saliva and simulate her appetite.” Casting her eyes around quickly, looking for something, she adds, “If you can give me one more minute there is something else I want to give you for her…” voice trails off as she spies the intended objects, there are some big, semi flat rocks nearby. Perfect for what she needs.

She looks to Roan for permission to go.
