"You can finish them off if you want, I'll make a fresh batch tomorrow," Halo's tail wagged as she worked. The calm that had settled over her wasn't unusual, but she was feeling more cheerful than usual. Working with children did have that effect. Relaxed and lowkey, she would be able to live out her life here. As Basilisk spoke with his mouth full, Halo couldn't help but giggle to herself. Heck, she wasn't his mother, she didn't have to tell him off for it. A good boy, and agreeing to send his siblings down as well. Even if the child forgot, Halo would be able to round them up soon enough, hopefully between training sessions. A pack of warriors. "I might try some different spices for tomorrow's batch of minnows, do you have any that you like?" It was probably a toss up, whether the child knew of spices. She'd have to teach him about the flowers, so may as well add cooking herbs to that list as well. Halo would likely become the strange aunt that treated her plants like they were her children and used her niblings as test subjects for her cooking. The berries in her dye were beginning to break down, and she moved the metal portion of the spoon into the white-hot coals at the bottom of her fire. Carefully, she tipped the spoon in circles, doing her best to keep agitating the mixture so her dye wouldn't scorch on the bottom. "Your aunts as well," right, Halo would occasionally put her paw in her mouth (though she'd be glad if the child didn't quite notice), and the yearling girls would likely be just as fierce as the boys. The Warlord's children seemed to be quite the trained force when it came to fighting. Mortis and Kotori-- more names for Halo to learn and hold onto. Learning would do her well, and it would take time. "A lion," Halo's pale eyes widened as she looked at Basilisk. He was grinning, that was a good sign. Maybe it was the imagination of a child, but Halo didn't know enough about the larger predators in the area to be certain. "Do you have lions nearby?" Was that something Halo needed to be worried about? "Are there other large predators in this area?" Maybe he knew, maybe he didn't. Halo made a mental note to ask Sirius when she saw him next. |
