Follow the Wisps [Audra]

Aurielle’s ears perked as Cairo began the introduction, and when Audra stepped forward and completed it, Aurielle dipped her head with grace, giving the woman her own respect as she added, “And you, Audra.”

The woman seemed timid, as though she expected all to go wrong, yet still drew herself up enough to explain the situation, and Aurielle glanced to Cairo with a half-smile. He might not have been Erani’s blood-descendant, but he followed the healer’s and his namesake Cairo’s tendency to care for those who needed it.

Her eyes shifted back to Audra’s and she settled on her haunches with a flick of her long-haired tail, leaving it pooled at her paws as she regarded the woman, studying her anew. “I take it you’re a healer? You have the scent of one.”

All healers she’d met had a residual scent left by the herbs they handled, though her nose told her the satchel was likely used to carry them.

“As for your guesting with us, I’ve no reservations. You can either join as an Outlander, which is a wolf who has joined but not yet found a Circle that suits them, or as a Guest, which is one who is staying with us for a time, but will be moving on. Both are expected to repay their lodging in some way. If healing is your calling, I’d suggest seeking out Paladin, one of our healers, or perhaps, if you wish to attend lessons or practice with other fellow young healers, my daughters Amorielle and Laoise are also studying to become healers. Cairo’s sister Viviene is a healer, herself. We recently had a young lady near your age named Cinnamon join who is also a healer, and Legacy, Paladin’s daughter.”

She regarded the woman with a faint smile. “Does that sound alright, Audra?”
