The child asked of her harvest, and Halo's tail wagged as she set about her work. Patience was something that came easily to her-- at least when she regarded others. She'd never admit that her patience for herself was rather thin, but such was her existence. "That depends on what I can get to grow here, it will be trial and error at first. I do have some lamb's ear that I'm going to try and plant tomorrow," it was nice to have someone so interested in the goings on of the healers. Though she could bet that the boy would be a fighter like his grandfather, maybe she'd be able to teach him how to patch up his allies in battle one day too. "I want to try to grow some lavender, but it might be too wet," she explained softly. He's poked his siblings-- of course he has. Halo chuckled softly, relaxed as she used the length of twine to measure around one of the boy's paws. With her piece of charcoal, she made a careful mark, mindful not to smudge it after. She'd spare him the be nice to your siblings talk, leaving that for his mother. As Basilisk followed her movements, Halo couldn't help but find herself struggling to get a good measurement. Still, she wouldn't rebuke the child, doing her best to stay steady with her measurement as he wiggled. She used her paw gently atop his head to keep her rope still, not applying too much pressure, but the position certainly looked silly. As she got her measurement and made another mark, she looked up to realize that she'd left behind a delicate, dusty pawprint on his coat. "Okay good, and you can move now! Can you tell me how often you're eating and how much?" Already at his size, he needed to be eating regularly. In her experience, more nomadic bands tended to produce smaller pups, and food scarcity could have something to do with that. Established packs, especially with storage like the Armada, should have an easier time with things like that. "How do you feel physically, does anything hurt or feel sore?" Growing pains wouldn't be abnormal, but maybe it was early for that yet. "And do you know how much sleep you're getting? How do you feel when you wake up?" If he was waking up still tired, then it may be a sign they needed to go to sleep earlier, or start adding more naps into the schedule. Halo was happy to advocate for napping. |
