"Visiting hours are between 12 and 8. You're friend is in room 2020, enjoy your time. - Stellairria - January 21, 2018
Stellairria,
Into the night, out of the dark,
Take to the sky,
Chasing the stars
All that we said, all that we are,
Waiting to fly,
This is the start
actions - “speech” - thoughts
She wasn't sure how long she'd been asleep, vaguely she remembered being woken up now and again... Or had that been a dream? Was this even real? Black tipped ears fell back, face twisting in momentary pain. Everything hurt, well... Not too bad but, she was sore all over that was for sure. Just a few more hours..... Please... I need rest... I need.... Eyes opened weakly, vision blury as a breathy whisper escaped her, “Ticon...” She wasn't sure where she was, last she knew he was taking her to see the Halos.... Had they made it, or had he taken her home to the X Clan dens for home service?
She let her eyes fall closed again, letting out a rattling breath, she'd just escaped death, she could feel that now. She'd been so hyped up on adrenaline that she didn't feel how hurt she'd been. Breathe.... In, out, in, out, deep in, now hold.... Exhale slowly. Her eyes fluttered open tired but, there was determination in them. Her mouth and throat were dry, stomach twisting painfully from being empty. She felt hungry, thirsty, she didn't want to move.
They bed she was laying on was so soft and smelled of... Lavender? She moved herself, twisting her body so that she was laying half up, her front legs crossed in front of her, rear still sideways, she wasn't dumb enough to move that left hind leg of hers. The right felt fine now, maybe she'd just banged it really hard or dislocated something... It was still tender but, it didn't hurt like before. She sighed, looking to a small pile of herbs to her right and a bowl to her left.
Wait... Bowl?
Water?
She leaned toward it, sniffling lightly and let out a cute, happy little yip. Water! She slowly drank, feeling herself relaxing all the more now. Oh... Oh how good it felt to have that cool liquid wash over her. Stella sighed again, settling back down, resting her chin on her legs. There wasn't much she could do now, save for wait and heal. She knew for sure she'd be getting at least one visitor, it was a matter of when now. When would he be allowed to see her, when would he show up to see her. A soft hum of delight escaped her as she buried her nose into the bed, breathing in deeply. She was sure there was lavender but, just the blend of herbs was so soothing to her. She could feel herself drifting in and out, a soft chuckle drifting from her, that wasn't water was it? It'd been tea, hadn't it? Something to keep her nerves calm and her mind at ease, to keep her from moving too much and allow her to rest. It was kinda funny but, kinda sad, as a thought rolled through her mind. I needed this.... Not so much the getting beat up bit but, the herbs, the calm, the relaxation, the healing. She'd been too stubborn to see them for help before, this time it'd been forced on her. She'd needed that.

Beatrice was still frisky. Even though she tried to explore the cave and failed (due to family), she still wanted to do something besides being hugged to death by family. So again, when she was sure her family was asleep and dad was working, she snuck off. The bright yellow drew her like the sun. She had seen her before at home with Ti-ca, though she didn't get her name. It sounded like singing every time someone said it. There was a shorter version of her name yet Beatrice's mind registered it as a "La" sound.
When the sun wolf lay her head down, she shuffled faster. No, no, no, don't fall asleep! Tripping over herself in her haste, she stumbled onto her bed. "Oof!" It smelled lovely. Beatrice batted at the bit of the bed and smelled. Wow! She almost grabbed a bit in her mouth when she remembered why she was here. She looked up to the sun wolf and tried squeaking to her, when she remembered herself. Wolves couldn't speak like mice. She still didn't speak wolf. But she could sing. And try she did.
"La lalalala laaaa." She pointed to the sun wolf. Hi sun song wolf!

Hakan was making the rounds to the patients after the quake. His own daughter among them though she had decided after only a day that she was fine and wanted to go help find others of the missing members. She was going to wrench her back again if she wasn't careful. Hakan huffed as he picked some lemon balm on his way to Stellairria. He had been hoping to tend to the sunny colored wolf for sometime. She had presented some symptoms of severe ptsd, anxiety, and depression even at a glance. Unfortunately her leg had been injured badly in the quake but it was the perfect opportunity to get her properly rested and cared for. He had given the other Halo's strict instructions to give her passion flower, johnswort and lemon balm infused water, lavender and sage in her bedding, and a protective charm near the entrance of her den. She didn't need any valerian or skullcap, the level she had expressed her anxiety would have probably reacted poorly to the valerian.
Hopefully while her leg healed it would give her body time to balance itself and find soothing healing. As he neared her den among the X clans grove he heard a quiet childish singing. The herbs wouldn't be affecting her that quickly for sure? He poked his head in and smiled as little Beatrice was singing to Stella, probably trying to say her name. Little Bea seemed to be vocally and perhaps mentally lagging behind her siblings. But he wouldn't be concerned until she was a full 6 months old and still not speaking comprehensively.
"What a lovely song, Beatrice, for Stellairria to wake up to!" He said clearly, nodding to the child. He remembered when his own girls and son where that age. Tussling and fighting for the most part, while Lyra whined about Kyra pulling her ear. "And how are we feeling today? Hopefully the song didn't actually wake you up?" He asked Stella, sitting by the entrance with the herbs by his feet. Even though she was terribly adorable he didn't know if Stella would be irritated that the child had roused her. If she wished Hakan would send Beatrice off to her siblings again. He enjoyed involving the kids in his work if they were interested so he didn't typically shoo them away.
((After the quake, before the gassing, maybe a week before the evacuation?))
