Wish I'd been a teenage rebel
Aslatiel

She almost missed Aslatiel approaching her entirely, too lost in her own daydreaming and thoughts to hear the quiet steps of the smaller woman. She blinked with surprise and looked back down from the sky to Asla as she walked up to the fire to greet her. She smiled at the pleasant surprise of Asla's visit, her tail wagging gently behind her. "Hello, Asla." Her amber eyes shifted down to the jar she and brought, her gaze showing her curiosity. "Something for me?" she questioned, shifting onto her stomach so she could examine the jar more closely as it was placed in front of her. She had never seen anything packaged like this before but she was absolutely fascinated by it. She glanced back up at Asla as she explained how her aunt had left this behind, grazing vaguely over Iolaire's whereabouts or fate, and then her expression brightened even more when she was told what the jar contained. This would be a perfect accompaniment for her tea and could only help even more than the valerian root on its own. "Thank you, Asla," she said sincerely, her tail wagging again, beaming up at Asla with her own kind of quiet thankfulness. "You're far too kind."
She had slightly expected Aslatiel to drop off her gift and go on her way now that she saw Ocean wasn't here, but she was surprised again as the tan and gray woman settled beside her next to the fire, stretching out comfortably as well. She smiled again, settling back into the fur to enjoy the unexpected bit of company she had been given. She enjoyed Aslatiel's presence and the conversations they had on the way down from the north had been good ones, but she still had the impression that her main reason for doing all of this was for Ocean and that was okay. Asla made Ocean happy and if she got a new friend out of it as well that was more than enough for her. She chuckled softly when Asla asked if she had scent Ocean off for some alone time and gave a little shake of her head. "No no, I think he's out hunting. There's really no reason for him to just sit here with me while I watch water boil."
Answering what she was up to was a bit harder. It felt like she mostly did the same thing day after day right now while she continued to recover, but that was not really much different from when she had done the same thing every day while she was too sick to do much else. "Right now I'm just making some valarian root tea... Perfect timing on your part with the honey." She gave Asla another smile before she shifted to reach toward the bowl of water that was now steaming, carefully pulling it closer before placing in a few pieces of valerian root so it could steep. She was quiet for a moment while she realized that this was the first time she had been alone with Asla without Ocean near by. "You and Ocean seem to like each other quite a bit," she mentioned with a curious glance toward the other woman, mimicking the question she had asked Ocean the first day they were here while Asla had been out hunting. It was hard to determine what the relationship between them really was - not that she really had any experience with relationships to judge from.
