Watching as Audra organized the stones, the woman smiled, allowing herself this time and this moment to bask in the rare sunlight. Normally the winter days were filled with dull, rumbling clouds and massive rainstorms - the ones that would pelt the castle walls like a torrent of gravel. She used to have a distaste for such days prior to her injury - rain-soaked pelts were heavier and it made it harder for her to run and hunt as she enjoyed. However, her life-threatening ordeal gave her a new lease on life, and now, whether it was rain, or shine, like this day, she was grateful for it. Grateful to be able to walk outside and sit in the warm glow of the day, and not just a sliver of blue from her bedroom window.

Mel swiftly returned, awkwardly fumbling with a rather large set of soft pillows in his maw she’d recognized from her room. He dropped them, doing what he could practically do in his sleep now as her caretaker - arranging the large pillows on each side of her, curving them as such that if she needed to rest her forelegs she had a softer surface on which to do so. "Here you go, my lady - shall I fetch anything for you otherwise?" Lae glanced over to her badger with a warm smile. She didn’t want to treat him like a servant in any regard, so she shook her head and replied, "Oh, I’m fine, Mel. Thank you kindly. Why don’t you take a look at the rest of the castle grounds?" With that, Mel’s eyes brightened in excitement, and he plundered off on heavy clawed toes. He certainly liked a bit of exploring himself, and she’d let him do that.

Turning back to the russet-pelted girl, she noticed she’d arranged the stones in the circle she’d suggested. It looked wonderful - exactly as she remembered it being done. The stick’s shadow indicated midday still as the stones were lined nicely, and she smiled up at the woman with sparkling ruby eyes. "Doesn’t it? Now you can tell what time it is with precision," She replied. Sometimes it helped someone to know exactly what time it was - you could guage then how many hours you had until night fell. Important flr shifts in season, for sure. With Audra’s next statement about it not working during cloudy days, she nodded. "Unfortunately, no. This requires a bright sunny day to work accurately. I still haven’t found a way to tell time when the sun isn’t out." She supposed she was thinking aloud at that point, but it certainly would be convenient to tell time when they didn’t have the luxury of such a clear sky. That said, Auster’s winters didn’t provide much leeway to make sundials, what with its frequent storms.
