It felt like the lists of what needed doing grew by the hour instead of shrinking. He worked hard, clearing tree limbs and debris from warrens so wolves could move in them and grab their belongings, and they could assess the damage. The stores were a mess, and the hot springs deep within one of the warrens that the pack used as a bathhouse was closed. The waters that ran through the caves and created the hot springs were too heavy, and the space was flooded.
The market was also closed, the Armada borders were locked down for the foreseeable future. He walked among the wreckage of what he - what the Armada - had built, and he couldn’t help feeling as if he had failed somewhere. With the events leading to Dread’s leaving, and now this? He sat down in front of the pack’s stores. His eyes on the meat the pack had painstakingly cured for winter. It was worse than he thought, there was almost nothing salvageable, and what was there was on the verge of spoiling. They would have to cook today what they could.

For someone that had almost died, Isa was in surprisingly good spirits. She had to be. Sirius was sour and defeated and she just couldn't let him stay that way. Her lungs still hurt and she had coughing fits due to a scratchy and pained throat, but she would be okay. They would all be okay. No one had been killed in the freak accident. There were some injuries, but they had all made it out alive. That was what mattered.
The big brute was sitting in front of the stores which was where Isa had almost met her end. Coming up beside him, the blue woman eased herself against his side, settling her head upon his shoulder. "This was out of our control," she spoke softly, knowing that he was upset about everything. "It looks a mess, but everything is replaceable. No lives were stolen." Reaching up, she kissed his cheek gently, a smile on her face. "So let's salvage what we can, eh?"

The Warlord shifted slightly, making room for Isa as she leaned against him. He rested his head against hers. His eyes roaming over the cavern, with puddles across the earth, broken pottery, wrecked shelving and the steady growing of a bad sort of smell. Mildew and mould.
He let a flicker of a smile ghost his face as Isa reached over and kissed him. “You're a culinary genius, do you think you could see what you can salvage? I’m going to pull out all the shelving and debris and see if I can air this place out” He suggested, looking down at the little wolf beside him. “I guess you’ve been thrown into the deep end, my Lady of War”

They fit so nicely together. Seated beside Sirius, Isa felt completely safe and content. They were out in the open today where others could see them but the current events were so draining and disastrous that neither of them cared. The entire pack was exhausted and recovering from the traumatic event. The little blue woman was determined to help them all.
Sirius spoke again, complementing her cooking prowess. Isa chuckled and looked up to him, a little thrill going through her when he called her his Lady of War. "I shall lay siege upon the stomachs of the entire pack, my liege." Her accented tones were dramatic, but she couldn't stifle the soft laugh after. "I'll salvage what I can," she promised. Kissing his cheek again.

He couldn’t help it. A laugh worked its way out from under his melancholy, and he shook his head at her, the laughter still settling comfortably between them. He kissed her back, aiming this time for her lips. Today, he didn’t care who saw them. His children deserved to know the right way, but he needed the comfort he gained from her. He needed her.
“If anyone can gain victory today, it’s you” He told her, his words equally as dramatic, matching her energy. Reluctantly, he pulled away from her. Brushing one last kiss against her cheek before making his way further into the storage, where he could start tearing apart the shelves for easier removal.

Reluctantly, Isa released her hold on Sirius and they somewhat parted ways. He went to tend to his task and she began sifting through the remnants of the food stores. A lot of it had already been waterlogged and had taken on a musty smell, but she could fix it.
Marshal was flying overhead and Isa called out to the vulture, asking him to come down so that she could make a request. The closest allied pack was Valta, she believed. Isa asked the bird to fly to Valta and bring back as much salt as he could carry. Meat stored in salt wouldn't rot. It would dry up and could be stored for a long time. She thanked the bird as he took the the skies once more. She'd be sure to save him some choice bits.
Once that was taken care of, Isa started tearing the meat into big chunks. She had gathered a bunch of somewhat dry wood and built a fire, though it took longer than usual. Once the fire was going, Isa looked about for the giant stone cauldron that she used for stew. Of course it was toppled upside down, but at least it wasn't broken. She couldn''t move it on her own, so the fae peeked into the storage den to call for Sirius. "Could youuuuu... help me with this, please? Put those big, strong muscles to use?"

The companions had been told to treat Isa’s request like his own, so when Isa summoned him, Marshal came. When she sent him to their allies in Valta, he went. The Warlord cracked a large, water-logged shelf in two, and started piling some of the wreckage on the flat of one of the sides. He looked up from his work as Isa came closer. He nodded, rolling his soldiers and following her to the cauldron.
He put his shoulder against it and pushed. Moving slowly and carefully as he pushed the large cooking appliance onto its feet. Careful not to throw it too hard that it would fall again. Once it was right, he moved to drag it. “Where do you want it?” He asked.
