Far from the comfort that we've known

Being far more focused on his companions than the world around him had caused Gav to let his guard down. So much so that he hadn’t taken any notice of the approach of another until she had at last spoke. The suddenness of her presence had caused the male to jump, turning green orbs to her, but she didn’t seem hostile. No, in fact, her words would tell him the opposite; she was polite, giving her name and even asking to join the three of them as she worked to replenish her stores as well.

Another healer!

Gavroche’s eyes lit up at the information and he gave a firm nod as he began to speak. “That would be wonderful! It’s always a pleasure to meet another healer, Miss Karine.” His tail had was wagging back and forth as he gave her a quick look over. She was taller, of course, there weren’t many who were as tiny as he was. But Karine didn’t have an imposing posture that most wolves her size did… which was good.

“My name is Gavroche Kedieo, by the way! These two are my friends and companions; Jessie and James!” The winged male motioned slightly with his head, the tiny bat having crawled to his forehead and the pygmy marmoset still sitting in his place between Gav’s wings.

“A pleasure.” James said.

“You have Gav over the moon, meeting another healer, I’ll have you know.” That was Jessie.

Gavroche gave a sheepish grin. “We’ve actually only just arrived back in Boreas… I’m not really familiar with this particular area yet. You wouldn’t happen to know it, would you?”
