Next day after Healing Souls.
Sorry couln't get more out of it :C

Early in the morning the white woman raised from her bed. As far as she could see in the dark the other members still held on to their sweet dreams. A little smile, unseen in the darkness, formed her lips. Silently she took her leave from the Den. Stepping out in the cold air, it smelled like it had rained. Leaving the world fresh and clean behind. She took a deep breath, cleaning her throat with some water left from the rain. Most animals probably would have searched for shelter in the bad weather. Kyrie sniffed up the air, fresh and clean was nice but many traces would get lost in the cleaning process. She wasn't aiming for a large hunt but maybe she could get some breakfast. On a easy pace she strolled away from the Den.

Her head was still full of fluff from the sleep but it was okay. No animal dared to pass by their Den, or it was some fool who wanted to commit suicide. After all, seeing your food walking to you is just simply ideal. It's was only not something that would happen often, certainly not today. As she walked further away she see some potential meals on the menu but both were already gone just taking a breath before going back into there shelter. She stopped, looked around. Birds were still sleeping on there tree, not coming to the ground even if they were awake. Kyrie sulked as she saw the low life around the willows. With a sigh of small defeat she turned her back to the Willows. Today was not hunting day, her guts told her so. The white woman slowly headed back home, seeing some of her packmates coming out of the Den. With a simple smile she greeted the sleepyheads. She took a bird from the cache and walked back in. Other than she had in her old home the Infirmary was connected with their Den. It was nice, they could just hop in without any difficulties, everyone was available. If someone would catch a cold with the rain, shall it spread like fire because of the nearby Infirmary? She shrugged, Elettra probably thought about that. Her head peaked through the opening. Seeing the brown Nina laying on the soft bed of leaves and grass. She looked asleep but she couldn't say for sure. With the bird in her muzzle she slipped inside. Putting the meal for Nina at the side. Kyrie made herself comfortable in the dark corner. Watching over the injures till they would wake up. Elettra was amazing with herbs. It shouldn't surprise her, it was Elettra Archer after all. But seeing a professional Healer working after such a long time. It still made a huge impact on her to see how nifty they would work. Creating little miracles. Things Kyrie couldn't do, ever, so she believed. However she had a slight hope Elettra might give her a chance to learn. Willow had their main huntress already in the pocket, Gabrielle would fit in to so the white woman didn't felt needed in that section nor in the Guardians place. This place, it was the only thing she could think where she might be of use. Her eyes shimmered soft in the dark place, full of tenderness if she watched her friend laying. She didn't want her away but right now Kyrie hoped Nina would return home soon, healthy.

OOC: Nina is going to be Mrs. Oblivious in this post! :P

It was a sad fate, that she couldn’t sleep, but she just couldn’t seem to be able to keep worry from creeping into her head. Her pack mates were important to her, and she didn’t know when she was coming to be released from the new pack. Elettra had certainly been busy when she had became leader, she was almost sure that Willow Ridge had more members than in the Creek, putting the pups aside. The thought she hadn’t given any time to process now hit her. . .she hadn’t seen Koda yet, though that was probably a good thing. She had been hoping that nothing would have been a problem but then she hadn’t planned on having her stay extended. She just hoped that Elettra would send someone to go tell her alpha’s something. Kashikoi and others would not be happy that she had once again disappeared from the lands for awhile.

Her thoughts were interrupted when the plop of something landed by her head. Her eyes remained closed, and her breathing the same, but even she knew she needed to eat something. It was part of the healing process, just the way she had pestered all her other patients to eat something to continue the healing process. Once she was sure that the other had left, did her good eye open. Little did she know that Kyrie was in the corner, for ironically she was on Nina’s blind side. Her uninjured paw snuck out to grab the meal with her claw, before she brought it close to her body. When she had first scented the bird, her mouth had instantly started to run. She hadn’t remembered the last time she had meat as a meal option. Though even she knew it would be wise to eat the meal slow, and so she did, in peace, with no one else around. . .

In silence the white fae watched closely over her wounded friend. She was glad her medical knowledge was from some kind of use. In the past she never had thought about using this for others. Just learning and doing because she liked it. Being with the old Healer, going out seeing nature like you normally would not. As little girl being brought to a place full of colors while searching for a herb or plant. It had always felt like a treasure hunt in a fantasy place, that was in the real world for once. After all those years, now it might be the time this skill would play a big part in her life. Not speed like it was most of the time but knowledge she got with no intentions to use it ever again but for herself. Her old pack had already a next Healer so she never would take that spot. Since her training was always fully focused on hunting that would be her role in pack as she would be a adult. It should, if Kyrie had not done the things she had. Instead she was now in a different land, with a different pack. New wolves and friends, a new family. Suddenly the body of Nina started to move. Waking up from her thoughts she watched close as the she wolf began to eat. Relieved she watched silent in her dark corner. She had seen many bad eaters in the past, forcing Nina to eat up her food would have been hard for her, knowing she would give in because of feeling guilty. Secretly some part of the white fae was happy Nina had disturbed her thoughts. Thinking about the past, she tried to avoid it. Cause when she taught about the things she had done wrong the depressing feeling crawled inside before she knew it. It was scary how fast it came in without her knowing.

Kyrie moved a little, sitting more comfortable as she waited for the brown fae to finish her meal. Not rushing anything so she didn't felt like disturbing her while eating. Elettra had left their territory just some time ago with a other she wolf. Kyrie never had seen her before but it was obviously a new member. The fact how she had looked was proof she was old, way older than her so she dragged more experience with her, the older woman had gone with Elettra. Why the woman would go with their leader was something Kyrie did not know. She guessed it was for experience or proofing herself useful for the pack. The two leaving, giving her the task to look out for the wounded. Nobody had visited Nina yet, some might not even know they had a guest. Slightly she wondered when Koda would come and see Nina. Not only as friends but he their Leader after all. He was ought to come and see who his pack was helping. For some reason in her mind Elettra was her Leader, while Koda was like that too but maybe it came because his more friendly attitude she felt differently about him. Elettra was the one she admired and the black woman always had some kind of proud Kyrie was always fascinated by.

It was a bit strange.. She had sat in her corner for a while but Nina looked like she was ignoring her. She understood she might have been hungry. Coming from far and being injured, her stomach should be empty except the herbs from last time. Yet Nina did not spoke a word of greeting, not a nod or even a look her way. Kyrie wasn't really mad of being ignored like that, it was more confusing. Wondering what she had done wrong to be ignored like this. Soft she cleared her throat. Immediately the heat in her body rose to the top. 'Did you sleep well?' She asked careful but warmly. Still breaking her head of thinking what she might had done to piss of her friend.

Finally, she had a good meal to last her awhile. She was sure her own body was going to start rejecting any meat she ate if she didn’t start getting back onto a proper diet soon. The sound of a clearing of throat and a voice jolted her. A small screech escaped her mouth and her head snapped to the right, her good emerald eye open in terror. It was only when she realized that it was only Kyrie in front of her, did she calm down and turn her body position towards her friend. "Apologizes, Kyrie. You startled me, I didn‘t hear you come in." Her chest heaved a pant before she used her front paws to support her weight. Her tail wagged slightly behind her, the wag seeming slightly off pace as she stared at the small fae.

She briefly wondered if Koda knew she was here, but shook the thought away from her as she smiled down at the wolf she had met not too long ago. Of course, it did not shock her to see the lady again, for she did have to connections in Willow Ridge. Her mate for example. . .oh how bad it would be if one of the Willow Ridge members would look too far into her and Koda’s relationship and ask too many questions. As far as she knew, Elettra was the only wolf within Willow Ridge that knew of their relationship. Any others who knew about it would bring a total shock to Nina. She did know that one day the truth would have to be revealed and she knew that then things could get slightly hectic.

The brown female gave off a small screech. Flustered Kyrie watched into the emerald eye of her friend. So scared, the green colour was painted with terror. The white girl had never seen such a expression before, never so wild and terrified. Gulped for a second to see how the eye had a glint of recognizing her. What could make someone so terrified that you will look like that, Kyrie wondered but she never wanted to experience it, she knew that much. She guessed it was related to the older injuries of the brown woman. Kyrie had never asked about Nina's past or someone else. Her white head shook as she rejected the apologies. 'It's okay, nothing to worry about.' She smiled to gave her words some more power. She still did not realize she had been on the blind side from Nina. Coming out of her dark corner she lay down a bit closer by the brown female. 'So..?' Curious she looked a bit up to match the green eye. 'How are you feeling?' Probably still not happy go lucky but the she wolf hoped that it had improved a bit better since last night. She could not expect miracles with the little help she could give. After all she had no healing superpower that would melt the bones together. Relying on the herbs they had Kyrie had watched how Elettra did all she could. The only thing to do was giving some pain killers but more she could not do. Bringing some food maybe and supporting Nina is she wanted to go out? The whole day stuck in the Infirmary may give some itchy paws. A soft sigh left her muzzle. She wished she could do more. 'Shall I fit to be Healer?' The soft murmuring was more to herself than to Nina, she still was not 100 percent sure about her decision but backing off was already to late for her feeling. What did Nina actually do in her pack? She looked as a good huntress if not injured with her eye and leg. Maybe something from the past? If Kyrie looked into it she did know very less of her new family and friends. Even Narimé she saw as a quite close friend she knew very less off. Should she ask? Doubting she watched into the darkness. All she did not want was stepping on a landmine or butting into things she should not. Things could be so complex, sometimes.

Her bronzed ears would twitch at every word that Kyrie would say, her eye attentive to what her small friend was saying. When the girl asked a question of how she was saying her lips formed into a small smile, "Much better than I have been for the past few days thanks to you and Elettra. I highly appareciate your assistance." Nina did not know that Kyrie was studying to be a herbalist, for the last time they had spoken she knew that the small girl had been trying to find her position with in the pack, and Nina was not sure if she had found that or not later. When she had been healed earlier she had made a mental note to ask Kyrie what she had decided about herself but had completely forgot about it. Her shoulder’s rolled back slightly, her posture being restored back to its full height.

When she waited for Kyrie’s thoughts all she heard was another question though, one that seemed to be answering her question from earlier. But it was as though she was echoing her own thoughts and not really speaking to Nina. Though without a thought to it she replied effortlessly, "Definitely. You have potential you just need to learn more and push yourself. It look me a year and a half to be an herbalist." Her tail wagged in happiness in sign of her job. She enjoyed the fact that she had a skill. That she was the head healer in her pack and that she was the one everyone had come to for healing advice. She remembered young Cessair coming back to her for advice and she had easily given it. She enjoyed her role with the world, and she wouldn’t give anything up to change it.

With a observing eye Kyrie had watched her friend since Elettra went to the other pack. She didn't expect miracles to happen in two or three days, at least Nina looked now a bit more alive than before. To actually see her smile was a good sign. 'I'm glad we could help you, I was a bit shocked when I saw you.' Sometimes she could even see Nina before her eyes, tattered and just deadly tired. It was a scary thing to see, something she would probably see even more in the future. 'Hopefully you're be able to walk soon again.' Or at least take a little stroll outside the Infirmary. Getting some fresh air could do miracles after all.

Lost in thought mumbling nonsense. It was something she did quite often and she was not ashamed of. A habit she was born and will die with, nobody ever bothered so she never tried to stop it. Her eyes clouded, watched at Nina when she spoke. The words flew into her ears, floated till their meaning would finally drop down. 'Ah-' Her face split with a big smile. 'Thanks, I'll work on it. I hope Elettra will teach me. She is amazing isn't she? Being able to create a pack with Koda and having such knowledge. She has such a strong impression, sometimes it looks like she can do everything. ' The girl laughed, that sounded a bit strange if you said it out loud.

She had looked terrible when she had been found by Elettra and Kyrie and Nina had been highly thankful for them helping her. It was not often once found a healer asking for another in the same profession asking for some help. The golden healer had been beyond her own repair though and at the moment she found herself pleased with herself for asking for the rebel leader’s help, though she knew it might cost Copper Rock Creek in the end.

Her good eye watched the smaller girl, now towering above her, due to her shrunken size, and her ears tried to pick up on everything the other female was saying. The golden girl smiled at the tan lady’s words, a small laugh echoing out of her mouth, "She is something, isn‘t she? A fabulous alpha though, might I say." Nina wasn’t someone who gave out praise for another so easily, though she might think to do so every so often, and though she was kind to other she met, she did not hand out praise to everyone she came upon, they had to earn it.

Happy Nina understood Kyrie, she knew that her brown friend was sincere in her speaking and not just being polite because the help. 'As soon as she's back from your pack Elettra will probably check on you. Hopefully she comes with good news.' The white she-wolf had no knowledge of how Leaders used to deal business. It was not a concern for a youngster to get into politics and such when she was in her old pack. She wasn't really worried about her Leader, Kyrie could recall her first conversation with Elettra, not clear as it used to be but enough to know that the black woman used to be in a other pack. One where she held a high rank so maybe speaking in business language was not new for her.

'Do you think Elettra is already by Copper Rock Creek?' Nina had never really told her where exactly their pack was settled so the girl had no idea. Elettra was not the fastest in their family but not slow either and with the situation like this she would probably not going to make a long chat. Something she probably didn't do on regular basis anyway. Kyrie didn't see her as unsocial but she couldn't compare the black alpha with someone like Narimé who would speak till the sun would fall and rise.

How long was it. . .not that long since she had gotten in here. . .and it had taken her about five sunrises to get there, injured, so it would probably take Elettra three tops. She shook her head as she spoke to Kyrie, "No. Probably not. At most she is probably half way there. The trip is quite a long one." A small yawn escaped the healer’s mouth as she put her head down, not bothering keeping her eyes open. Rest would be the best thing for her right now.

She tried to mutter and she barely got out, "It was nice meeting you, Kyrie." Before she once again yawned and fell into a deep sleep, the herbs once again taking over her body. It would probably be the best sleep she had gotten in awhile and truth be told, it would be unhealthy if the healer didn’t get enough sleep. It could wear her down even more than she already was. It would also be a complete waste of herbs if she didn’t sleep.
