Do you see what's happening?

Ignita set her jaw as Ollie restrained her for a moment and then kept his paw in front of her. Her eyes were glued to Basilisk as he made his orders clear. She sat up straighter and appreciated Ollie pulling his arm back. She still wanted to bolt, she wanted to see this blight with her own eyes. She wanted to measure how many trees were affected if there were any dead birds. But no, she was being called to organize, not discover. She ran her tongue over her teeth. She nodded at his instructions, already her mind running rampant on how to find the solutions. He was right, she was better used out here.

She noticed Ollie's posture and the fear in his eyes, his breathing shallow. She did not agree that such a heavy burden of being lead healer had fallen on the boy's shoulder's so young, he wasn't even a full year and a half yet.

She leaned closer to him, "You've got this. We've got this. It'll be okay Ollie, we can do this together." She could see the poor boy's entire support system was on the other side of that line. His father, his siblings probably, and Bas. "Ask for samples of any plants." He added animals, good call, see if this disease tainted any meat.

She nodded to Bas about getting a message to Spider, Galileo would probably work, actually, one of the ravens would be better. Galileo probably doesn't know Spider yet.

Her legs steady beneath her she lifted her head steadfast and ready. This was a real crisis, and her mind was laser-focused, no time to shift and flop about to hem and haw.

She lifted her voice to the others, strong and loud as if she was naturally built for the stage, "We'll be all right! Contingency plans are my specialty! I'm sure once we have more information we can make better decisions. Keep your heads up and look out for each other!" She laid her eyes on her lover.
"We got this, my love, If someone can take stock of how many trees are affected, and any patterns that crop up, it'll be essential. Look out for anything that might be out of the ordinary, anything can help. What plants are affected or unaffected, birds, and any symptoms that crop up."

A howl enters the sky over the Col behind her and Ollie, from the Obelisk. It sounds like Tethys!

"We'll do our work! You do yours!" She calls to them after Tethys's call clears the sky. She sounded alarmed! She spots Ollie already making his way to her.
