*Xae* · 07-16-2014, 09:39 PM

The dark-coated young male was in his tree-den, sitting, his long, slender form crouched slightly. He would need to continue adjustments in his new home, but so far, he quite enjoyed it. It was perfectly settled near the lake, and yet, close to the plains as well. That meant a nice variety of herbs for him to pick and study. Of course, it was also situated quite close to Bass's den. Xae knew that his leader probably trusted him as far as he could throw him. Well... Bass could probably effortlessly throw Xae pretty far... The mere thought sent a frightful shiver down his dark russet-covered spine. But the thought was only a second's notice. Bass may not of have trusted him, but surely he wouldn't harm Xae without reason. He definitely didn't seem the type. And Xae wasn't the type to give anyone a reason to wish him harm. Though, he had been a bit snappy lately. The male grumbled to himself, shaking his skull and forcing his attention back to his personal lesson. Before his skinny form, he had several herbs laid out. He was currently studying them intently, mentally naming them off and describing their uses. It was painfully slow for him. Harmony's beautiful face continued to show itself in his mind, reminding him that she was his teacher, and she was off limits. Especially if he wanted to keep the "peace" between himself and Bass.

He was pulled from his thoughts by a sudden, urgent call. A call for a healer. The Kruni wasted no time. He jumped to his paws, grabbing the very basics of herbs in his jaws - boneset for any possible fevers or muscle pain, horsetail for any wounds. Xae also managed to grasp a bit of meadowsweet. All three herbs were relatively easy to find, even if they weren't the greatest and the russet male truly wished he knew more. Still, what he had would have to do. Long limbs carried his light frame swiftly from his tree-den to the call, realizing as he arrived that Bass had been the one to call. Even so, Xae did not hesitate in his step, slowing only so he did not frighten the clearly emaciated wolf. Xae looked at her, mentally going over anything he might need. From where he stood, he could feel the heat rolling off of her body, and he could see plain as day that she was ill. The healer in training dropped his bundle gentle, nosed through it until he picked up the long, thin, hairy stem, with long hairy leaves and white flowers that looked more like seeds. Unfortunately, as the russet male attempted to recall which part the wolf being healed needed to chew, all he could imagine was a pair of mismatched orbs.

Xae was quick to squash the image before her face could fully form. Without much more hesitation, he jumped over the bundle in front of him and carried the thin plant to the ill, blackened mistress. Xae, careful not to overdose his first true patient, tore a piece of the stem with a small, slender leaf. He nosed the smaller piece to the female, keeping the larger piece with the seedlings between his paws. "To bring your fever down, you must consume this. It is called Boneset." He explained in his low, quiet, nearly monotoned voice, looking the ill female in the eye to make sure she understood. He wanted her to be informed on what he was giving her. He turned, bringing the larger piece back to his pile, dropped it, and picked up the meadowsweet he'd brought. He dropped that in front of her as well. "If you are in any pain, you should ingest this as well. Meadowsweet will also aid in your fatigue." For it was clear to Xae, having lived the loner life for a short time, that she was fatigued. His gaze finally shifted to Bass, his face guarded, trying not to show the uncertainty itching at his paws. Damn Harmony for making him so confused. Damn her for making him lose his ability to remember! But Xae did not allow his frustration to show on his face. "With your permission, Azat Bass, I would like to bring her to my den to better look her over and feed her. I believe Lady Harmony should also look her over, as she may be able to provide better treatment."
