.Ever since Kite had stolen Halos honey, she had been somewhat avoiding the healer. She was embarrassed, and a little grumpy about the punishment that had followed. Princesses shouldn't be punished! She hadn't thought of the further reaching consequences that left her sitting in the Col, rubbing the fabric over her eyes as she tried not to cry. She had a pretty high tolerance for pain thanks to the string of broken or badly bruised limbs she had accumulated through her warfare with Azure, but the plant she had landed in stung in a brand new and fiery kind of pain.
It was all down her back leg, and washing it had done nothing to alleviate the pain. But her stubborn nature wouldn't let her go to Halo. She wasn't ready to face the healer. Her kitten mowed sadly at the girl's feet for a moment, and then trotted off. She couldn't see where Lioness was going, because it was early afternoon yet. The Col was bathed in sunlight and she was forced to wear her eye mask to protect her crystal eyes from the pain of the sun.
