Really, I'm Okay.

As soon as the girl noticed her new "horns" she immediately jumped up, startled by the sight of them and Dalila honestly couldn't blame her. She had been concerned and startled when Siren discovered them for her as well. She had kept herself in semi isolation for several days after they began to grow in just in case so she could watch for any other symptoms, but no, it seemed like it was just the crystal shards that also didn't seem to be going anywhere. Scylla did eventually come to sit beside her again, though with a good bit of suspicion and wariness. At least Siren's daughter was cautious and Dalila couldn't fault her for that. She was a smart, observant girl and Dalila was sure that would serve her well later on.

She was glad to hear that Scylla was doing well, giving a nod in response. Physically at least she looked perfectly fine save for a few still healing wounds, but even those had mostly closed up at this point so she didn't feel like they still needed tending to. She didn't know what the long term effects of any of this were going to be, physically or mentally, but Scylla made her wonder if there was some things that the pups might need to work through with her mentioning of her nightmares. Dalila's ears flicked worriedly at the idea of dreams that had her drowning in the ooze that they had all produced while they were ill. She knew that it would probably just take time for the memories to fade and that trauma to heal, but she still wondered if there was something they could do for the children to help them though it.

Before she could question Scylla more the girl opened her eyes to look up at her again and suddenly she was the one being bombarded with questions. She blinked with surprise and couldn't help but chuckle a little at the numerous, direct string of questions all about her crystal horns, whether she was infected or not, if she was going to die, and all of the strangely grim things she had come to expect from the odd girl. She lifted a paw to lightly tap on the crystals as she replied. "I don't know what happened... They just suddenly started growing," she replied honestly. "It doesn't seem like I'm infected or sick. Your mother made sure I was healthy and I stayed in quarantine for a little while to make sure. I don't know if they'll stay or not... I think trying to break them off would hurt. They seem pretty attached." She gave them another poke experimentally, but they felt as sturdy and attached as a piece of bone. "And no, none of us are going to die. At least not for a very, very long time." Sure, they would all die one day, but not for a very long time still and not because of the crazy infections.
