In Disbelief, I Didn't Know (EBONY)

Walk | Talk | Think

Her blue eyes spied the dark figure of her teacher, distinguished from his peers by the purple-tinted marking situated upon his brow, and caught the smile he sent her way. She half expected him to come her way and sit with her during the meeting, but she should not have been surprised when he went instead toward Katja and the bleeding man beside her rock. Of course. Max took his job seriously, always willing to step up when it was required of him, and now was no different. He did not hesitate in approaching the injured male and letting Katja know he would treat him, though unfortunately he had not brought any plants with him to do so now.

More arrived after, and of those who did two were given her notice. Adelaide slipped in quietly, unassumingly, as if to keep her presence there secretive. Callisto watched her, more questions regarding the epidemic already coming to mind, but upon looking at the woman, really looking at her, she could tell something was off. Her gaze lingered on the woman and then shifted back to Max to see a young pup, one of Raisa's, there at his side, offering something that she assumed was meant to help with the healer's treatment for the injured wolf.

She forced her attention to shift away from Maximous, working on binding the wolf's wound, to listen to what Katja had to say to them. Callisto received the news with her usual blank expression, perhaps adding only a blink of her eyes to signify that she had heard. Raisa was gone. While many of the pack appeared ready to mourn the absence of their once-leader, Calli had never known her well enough to miss her, not even well enough to know whether she had even had much of a role in pack life for her absence to be missed. Her life here had mainly revolved around healer training, plants, and Maximous. What did it matter to her if her rank name was going to change? So long as she was still going to be left to do as she had always done, then she could adjust easily.
