I'm not sick, but I'm not well [epidemic meeting]

Of course the first two to show were Eris and Liberty. Athena was not surprised in the least, but she was grateful for their quick arrivals. Eris looked worse than she had expected, giving her an added drive to find this cure. It was unfortunate that they had so few healers and that this load had to almost solely be on Eris's shoulders. Athena made a note to work toward remedying that soon. Her half brother Kyarst would appear next, as full of attitude as ever. Athena's ear twitched at his comment and her split-tone gaze would glance to meet his. "That's why we're here, Kyarst. To save our family. She understood that both of Kyarst's parents had contracted this illness, but who was to say Argent wasn't sick as well? Athena hadn't seen her mother in quite some time and she worried that Argent was somewhere alone and sick. Not that she should care, but if there was one thing that she was it was loyal to family. "We are both related to every single one of the sick wolves that we know about, so put aside your petty attitude and focus on the task at hand, hm?" Her tone was calm but serious, her gaze hardening. With that she would turn her attention away from Kyarst and onto Drashiel as her brown and gray half brother appeared with a maw full of herbs, explaining himself to Eris. A slight smile touched her muzzle. Even though he didn't know exactly what he was doing, he was trying and Athena appreciated that. "I'm sure if nothing else Eris can store them for later, Drashiel." Suddenly a large, black and white form came rushing toward them, causing her to spring to her paws, her eyes widening. She wasn't quite sure what this creature was, but once it came to a fairly dramatic stop she noticed Sin was draped across his back. She frowned, immediately worried for her relative. Her gaze met the larger animal's as she listened intently to his explanation for why he was here. She was certainly interested to know that the illness had affected more than their pack. However, there was the issue of this creature trespassing on their territory and his being a messenger from Valhalla. But it was to bring them news and to bring Sin back to them... "Thank you for bringing Sin here," she said as she finally began to speak. "And thank you for your offer of help. I am Athena, heir of Glaciem. You can take this information back with you: we too are working on a cure and should we discover it we will share it with others. Now, if you'll please set Sin down and depart I would much appreciate it." She may not fully agree with Sendoa's peace treaty with Valhalla, but until they gave her reason to go back on it she would not. That did not mean that she would let them get close however. She would keep them at arms length and watch them closely. Her sister would appear, but she would not get the chance to greet the blue girl. Sendoa of all wolves staggered toward them and Athena would watch with concern and mild horror as the current Queen stumbled about, slurring words of them being traitors and her turning Kyarst against her. She tried to not take her words too seriously, knowing this sickness would have twisted her thoughts. "No one is turning anyone against you or anyone else, Sendoa." She glanced away from her aunt only briefly to look at the pile of herbs Drashiel had brought before returning her gaze to Sendoa, watching her closely, unsure of how volatile the fea was. "If fact, Kyarst, why don't you bring your mother some of those herbs. Perhaps the dandelions, willow bark, and periwinkle?" She wasn't entirely sure what each of the herbs did, but any guess was worth the shot and she hoped that if the herbs were coming from her son Sendoa would try them. Speech Thought Others |
