Alsander |
Alsander was settled on his belly, like the Egyptian sphinx masterpiece of the humans, just outside his aunt?s den. She was a little stronger, her sleeping breath less labored, more peaceful. She?d even been able to walk far enough to get a drink from the spring outside, though he?d had to help her back up the natural stone steps and into her alcove. She would recover, that he was cautiously certain of. His leg was healed, the scars still fresh, but they would harden in time. Surreal had left two days ago, once they were certain Erani wouldn?t relapse into another fever. He could only guess and hope that her trip had been safe and swift. He was no healer, only knowing basic field craft, and he wouldn?t be able to do much if his aunt relapsed. He had done his best, giving her lavender and a bit of yarrow to keep the fever away, though he wasn?t certain if yarrow was the right herb.. More than ever, he felt his thoughts slip to the lovely albino healer, Io, from Tortuga. Her gentle voice and quiet way. She was infinitely fascinating to her, in the short time he?d been around her. The thoughts were broken into by a familiar bark. Surreal. Misty grey ears perked, and he rose, glancing toward Erani?s sleeping chamber before padding out to greet his cousin and beta. Surreal was not alone. Four others were with her, and his heavy tail wagged heartily in greeting to his family. He didn?t recognize the youngest wolf, but if she was with his family, then she must be trustworthy. ?She?s sleeping. I really think it?s past now. But you two may want to look her over?? He nodded to Cael and Imena. Mismatched gold and green eyes turned to his older brother and Surreal. ?What?s the word?? |
