A spark to the fire

Orchid's eyes would widen in shock as her Alpha approached her. It was clear in her body language at the blank look in her eyes that the last few days for her had been hell. The young girl dropped a little in her stance, at once in utter shame that she had spent the last few days high in her den, well clearly something had been happening in the world beyond. The scent of blood and sickness was indeed on their queen and orchid's eyes upon her where weary and watchful. Before she could question her Alpha the newcomer was speaking again. She mentally swept away the words of family, it was of no consequence to the healer. Her words of a plague however had her interest in a whole different way. She leaned forward, instantly curious. ?Bleeding eyes, fever fits?" she asked in a terrible curiosity, her healer interest captivated by this. She wanted to know more, her eyes flicked to her Alpha, she had a feeling the red queen already knew what was being said.. and truly.. she needed something for her spirits. She contemplated what herbs she had on her and if she should offer her Alpha something calming and relaxing.



?What else do you know? Is it contagious, if so do you know how?" she would ask, but this time her gaze encompassed both the stranger and her Alpha ? wondering which one might have her answers.



Once again she thought about Vi.. she had both Motherwort and marijuana, either of which could help calm her. She lowered her head slightly, angling it towards the queen to speak below the strangers hearing. ?Would my queen like something to ease the stress?"

"Speech"
