a house into a home

As the yearling sprung forward, Halo took a large step back. Her eyes went wide, heart pounding in her chest-- oh. A yearling. Not a panther, you're safe. It wasn't something that Halo would need to draw arms against, and that was for the best. Though her training with Sirius had begun, the pale healer still lacked confidence. Maybe she'd be a better fighter someday, but today... well, today wasn't one of those days. The verbal assault that came next had Halo hanging her head a bit lower than moments before, seeming to crumble a bit under the girl's words. While pups were her favorite, yearlings seemed to have their venomous phases. Some of those didn't end, the tenderhearted creature considered-- look at her own sisters.

For a moment, Halo evaluated the girl with a vague sense of awe. A stranger, and she was here... well, it wasn't yelling. No, Halo wasn't being yelled at. She was being talked down to, which didn't feel great. Still, to have the guts to lash out like she did, Halo had to envy it. Her ears (well, at least her good ear) tucked into her head. Nervously, Halo took another step back. ...you spend a lot of your time standing around doing nothing, that one would sting, especially later when the tenderhearted girl had time to dwell on it.

Still, she fixed for a moment on the yearling's question. It wasn't until after the frustrated young woman seemed finished that Halo finally spoke. "Do you want to know what the point of it is?" She couldn't tell if it was a rhetorical question or not. Would she be open to learning what the point of having the plot of herbs planted and on hand was? Halo's voice was quiet, with a slight quiver. Still, there would be no use trying to teach her if she didn't want to learn.
