bees part 2, the electric boogaloo

The howl was the reassurance that she needed. Halo's mind could be cluttered sometimes-- she's anxious by nature, and not just a little. No, she's typically pretty anxious on the whole, so to know that Kotori wasn't irritated by her showing up uninvited was a good start. Reassurance. She needs reassurance. Carefully, she stepped over the borders to meet the alpha half way. Her gaze was bright and friendly, tail high, wagging loosely behind her. A comfortable, cheerful gait as Halo arrives carrying her faintly-buzzing basket. The bees were carefully packaged up inside, along with all sorts of things they'd need to start their very own hive. That and the different packets of seeds, all neat and organized. Really, Halo was quite proud of herself.

"It really has," she remarked with a thoughtful nod. Kotori had moved away without much ceremony, something that she maybe felt a bit guilty about. She'd come to visit Mort, but hadn't gotten to see Kotori when she'd been by last. That was okay though, she was here now. "From me, I think. For your healers, and your pack, they're basics that will help get your herb garden set up." Halo thinks about it for a moment. They were pack resources, sure, but they were resources she'd carefully collected and stored. They were resources that she recognized and thought important to share. Also Sirius had been busy, and frankly he didn't know she was here. Not like that was a bad thing or she needed permission to come and go, but Halo just didn't really know the etiquette behind this kind of thing. Not that she needs to, actually. She's here and there's no reason for her not to be.

She offers a soft smile and a wag of her tail, a glimmer in her eye letting on that there was something even more exciting in store. "Best of all, I had so many bees survive the winter that it was best to split the colony, so I brought you some to help get started!" Some people don't appreciate a gift that has to be taken care of, like a plant or a pet. Halo has brought Kotori both, all at once... well, at least he could probably shuffle the responsibility off to someone else. Still, Halo is excited and proud of herself. "There's also a jar of honey and a jar of strong alcohol for making tinctures, and if your healers want I can show them how I set up my stills," she tends to talk a lot, over explain when she's excited or nervous. In this moment, Halo is both.
