The closer Ellis got to what she prayed was an oasis, the closer too did the figure of the other wolf get. Her teal-green eyes were curious, and she would frown a bit, ears tilting back some. So someone else was in the desert? Or... was it really a mirage? All of it just an illusion, a figment of her mind as she went mad? The small healer certainly hoped not, and she would slow her steps, breathing in heated air as she uncertainly neared. No... it was not a mirage. It couldn't be. Both wolf and water... they smelled too clear. Too real.

So Ellis would close the distance, coming to the edge of the water as he was. Though for the healer there was more curiosity as to what this man was doing in the desert than getting an immediate drink. The source of water was there... it could wait a moment longer. Ears would lift upon her head, her brow spots lifting with a bit of confusion. "Strangest of wonders. It appears that you are real, stranger." Ellis would tilt her head slightly to the side, examining him.

Such a light coat... at least it was less likely to trap heat. The healer would manage a small smile however, trying to keep her manners. "Lucky we found this place, huh? My name is Ellis Cathal. Who might you be?" Her words were polite, her gaze not leaving his. There would be time to drink in a moment, and time after to see if any useful herbs actually grew here at all. If not, well, at least she could say she made the journey. If there were, well, then there could be new herbs to add to her list to use.




"Speech"

"Settle down." Said my heart.

...and so here it was I would settle down.
