Keahi listens to Halo, nodding along with the tale. Eyebrows lift at Andy’s question and she whispers, “That is a great question.” A smile is given and a wink as she has to elbow Dread into awareness. Looking to distracted boy, she leans close and softly asks so only he can hear, “Who is on your mind?” A knowing grin is offered and amusement sparkles in her blue eyes as she gives the boy a small wink.

The cabbage is chopped and she mushes it down, marking her pail and following along with the yearlings. In short order, the three pots are on the fire and beginning the journey of turning into dyes. Sitting back she laughs at Andy’s challenge, offering, “Halo and I will be our referees.” She tosses a wink the healer and keeps her eyes on the pots as they slowly boil.
