Halo knew not of the long night that had broken just before her arrival. What she did know, was of the ooze and the strange things that came with it. Had she not seen it with her own eyes, Halo likely wouldn't have believed it. It weighed heavily on her mind. Though she was safe in the packlands and settling in fairly well, Halo thought often of the panther that had assailed her as she arrived. She'd had a nightmare about it since arriving, having scared herself awake the previous night. She was doing her best to think through just how to treat something like this, should she come upon it again. If the predators were infected, did the disease come from the prey? Were they in danger from eating the prey as well? Sirius had told her that it impacted flora and fauna both. Maybe the source was in the plants themselves.

The tenderhearted creature was careful as she gathered herbs on this day. Carefully, she'd inspected each specimen before holding it in her teeth. Halo would need to remember to go looking for a bag at some point, but for now, this would do. With a gentle grip, the girl held a cluster of lamb's ear with the roots still intact. The healer would plant it in the plot beside her den. Lambs ear was hardy, and should transplant well. Within a pack of warriors, it was likely that she'd need it to pad wounds and reduce swelling. With careful steps, Halo moved through the tall grass and back in the direction of her plot. Though her sense of direction wasn't excellent, the girl was able to pause and orient herself occasionally, using the towering obelisk to point her in the right direction. She'd get the hang of this place soon enough.

It was on one of her pauses that she heard a soft whimper. It was the high, childlike call of a pup. Halo listened intently for a moment, trying to find the source of the sound. It was in the direction of that whimper that she tracked. "Hey, are you okay?" Halo's voice was a soft bell tone, though slightly muffled around the plant in her mouth. With a keen gaze through the tall grass, Halo sought the source of the whimper. Still, the grass itself grew tall over her head, and she'd need a bit more help to track down the child.
