Moral to the Story

’ I'll let you both get re-acquainted while I get her a meal.’ The words got an affirmative hum from Ganymede, at least wanting to acknowledge the other though he didn't trust himself currently to not say something biting and snippish at the other. The fear was still there under the surface and he wasn't sure how to handle it yet. "I suppose food would be good for you, huh?" Ganymede mused quietly as he looked to Lailah once the other order had been spoken to her. Get re-acquainted with her, just ask some questions and do your best to not be awkward. It shouldn't be that hard, I got this. He did not have this, there was something nerve-wracking about the idea of approaching the smaller woman too closely even after Ultyr had vanished and she seemed content on settling with the supplies from her bag. So instead he decided to make himself busy with a different task for the moment.

"I won't be far off, Lailah, if you need something I shouldn't be hard to find. Need something for all my aches and pains, ya know?" He said it lightly, gently almost, keeping his tone friendly as he pulled the pelt off his shoulders again to set it nearby before moving off to the more overgrown edge of the forest with a flick of his striped tail. The plant he was looking for was akin to a dandelion with its brilliant yellow petals and center, leaves, and stem a beautiful green. He knew it should grow alongside the rocky shoreline, but it wasn't easy to find even here. Lots of slow scanning and picking his way along the stones finally revealed the little hidden treasures he was looking for after a while and he went trotting back to where he had left Lai last.

Settling on the pelt on the ground, he dropped the flowers down and grabbed up one of the smooth river stones to sit and grind the flowers against another stone. Just working away to make a fine paste, or attempt to. It would have to do for the moment, he didn't have everything here as he did back home, and as he scooped up some of the smashed paste to work into his bruises and aches, he peered over at what the mist and smoke girl was doing. "That's lovely so far."
