you are my sunshine

After checking over each of the children and seeing they were all healthy (even the tiny one, was she that small compared to her siblings when she had been born?), she moved back to her steeping shepherd purse and added some nettle and lady's mantle to the brew. While she waited for it to infuse, she made up small doses of each in preparation, wrapping each into a small package and setting them out on the table.

She was grateful that her mother hadn't completely incapacitated Mortis because it meant she could give him the direction instead of putting more on the mother's plate now that she was managing six tiny terrors. Fuji squared her shoulders and gestured for the father to come closer. It was difficult to make her golden eyes meet his blue, but she did her best to carry some sort of air of authority. “She'll need a brew o' this at least 3 times a day until th' bleeding eases up. If anythin' get's worse, send Mr Racoon, 'e'll know where ter find me.” She was almost certain that perhaps she would have been better off explaining the steps to Mr Racoon... But she was sure Otis would be checking in and grouching and hissing at them if they forgot anyway.

Fuji carried the cooling tea over to Halo and helped her drink before lowering her head down gently towards the floor. “She jus' needs some rest now. As I said, send fer us if anythin' changes.”
