Foundation of the Future

Traveling abreast with her father, Warja moved with single-minded purpose. She was so focused on the task at hand that when he stopped walking she continued on for a few paces. Turning back, she looked up at him expectantly. "This is good enough," he said, drawing a confirmatory nod from his daughter. They were close to the heart of the territory now. Having not been the main hub of Covari, she was relatively sure they would be safe in Fern Gulley. Though few, any misgivings she had would be kept firmly to herself; there was no need to worry her father any. Of this she was certain.

Taking in their surroundings, Warja did her best to imagine what lay in their immediate vicinity. Her eyes closed briefly - blocking out the present - allowing her to navigate the terra as it was remembered. It took no more than a couple of heartbeats, but when at last she was sure of their surroundings, she spoke, eyes flicking open to rove over the faces of those gathered. "There's a stream not too far from here, if anyone's thirsty." She eyed Maia's kids in particular, although her mother and sister were each a concern.

Warja was no longer a child. She'd had ulterior motives when suggesting Fern Gulley as their safe haven. It was a healer's paradise, stuffed to the brim with medicinal wonders. As a growing herbalist, she'd coveted the territory from the minute she'd laid eyes on it. It was here that she wished to sharpen her craft. The yearling had long since put away childish dreams; now she looked to the future. For what she desired, was there a better than this? Surely not.

Speaking of healing, maybe she could test out the new pharmacy... "Mom, Keiki?" Are you feeling alright? Would it be selfish of her to hope that they had something to complain about?
