Crux had made his way back from the woods, his little bundle of herbs in his scrap leather hanging from his mouth, more for safety than anything else, just in case anything he'd collected was toxic. As he and Riya returned to the public area of the pack he cast his gaze around for someone who could help him to identify what he'd found. Unfortunately for him the heady smell of the herbs were masking many of the smells he would otherwise rely on. "I think I smell Halo?" His companion said and Crux nodded at her, gesturing for her to lead him in the direction she thought she could smell the Trauma Specialist. Riya still didn't know all the scents yet though so he kept an eye out for the woman, she was probably the best option for what he was looking for, he was aware his older sister was also within some of the healer ranks but he also knew she was a young mother and frankly he still didn't really know where he stood with most of his older siblings. So Halo it was. "Speech" "Riya"

Spring had sprung, and that meant there was so much to do. Especially in the market, and Halo was admittedly pretty excited about it. Getting the stalls swept and everything ready for market days, so many chores to keep busy with. Really, Halo prefers to be busy. If she's not busy, she can't sit by herself and spiral. If she was busy, then there was always something to keep her mind where it needed to be. All for the best. So much for the best. From preparing the stalls to getting different trade goods ready, it really was a pretty busy time. At the moment, Halo was at the heart of the Col, processing some bee's wax at the central fire circle. She carefully stirred at the raw wax, willing the double boiler to heat faster. While the pale creature was typically pretty patient, she was almost too excited to wait. Someone says her name, though, and her head picks up. Gazing from side to side, curious. "Did I hear my name?" A soft, curious call. Was someone looking for her? "Speech"

It didn't take very long to pinpoint the trauma specialist, though when her question reached him Crux's mouth was still pretty full so Riya stepped up to the plate. She gave a quick response of "Here!" Before the leopard bound towards the pale woman while Crux tried his very hardest not to be jealous of the cat's nimble movements as he plodded after her. Riya took a moment to glance behind her, judge how quickly Crux would catch up and deciding she could fill Halo in a little bit before he got there. "Crux was looking for you." She explained and a moment later there he was, his bundle of herbs being placed gently at his paws as he lifted his gaze to look at the woman. (He was doing his damndest to hide the fact he was also trying to get rid of the dusty taste the leather had left in his mouth.) "I uh... I've been getting interested in learning more about healing and... I was wondering if you could help me?" He wanted to bombard her with questions, try and fill in the massive gaps in his knowledge as soon as possible, what if someone needed him? But he didn't want to impose himself on her either. Instead he shuffled nervously, then spread his little harvest out with a fore paw so they were all visible and added softly. "I really don't know what I'm doing." "Speech" "Riya"
