[Chelae]

OOC
return thread from inaria!! bullet points are fine. inaria alphas: please let me know if there's anywhere you want inarian guests to check in first, i can link it here

Every step of the way back had been twinged with fear. No, something darker than fear. The same darkness that hung over the heart of the stone buildings, the same darkness that had left her and her siblings alone on the island. Who could forget the last time Gemini had returned from Inaria? But the trip had been quiet and pleasant. Still, Chelae didn't relax until she could see the open fields of the lowlands cresting over the horizon, and until her paws found the scent border.

It still didn't feel quite safe.

But... there were a lot of them here. There'd be Rangers around. So she threw back her head to howl out a summons for Akira and everyone else to come see the visitors. Hopefully someone else could sort out where they'd stay, her paws ached too much for her head to possibly process how all that would work. Still, before she gave up, she turned to look at the group.

"We've reached Gemini!" She announced. "I've called the pack. Others will come to help escort you in and show you around the territory." Or at least, she hoped so? No, yeah, that seemed reasonable. Besides, they had to lead them in to see the wall, right? It was hardly visible from the edge of the territory, so she imagined Akira would want to be there to see the amazed faces of the Inarians when they saw it. That would make all the miles they'd crossed worth it.

Chelae paused for a moment though. She glanced over at the others who had come along - particularly Margo and Iaera - and gave them a polite nod. She didn't want to acknowledge how much they'd done to keep her steady, but... still. Not acknowledging it wouldn't be, well, honorable, among other things. It was fair, and she had to be fair.

Oh, she hoped Akira would come down and greet the group. Then she'd see how well Chelae had done.

[Iaera]

the nymph; whisper & ranger

-Iaera is excited to be coming home. She's very proud of herself for not making a complete fool of herself while she was out. Though she's somewhat sad to leave the pretty purple trees and the friends she made that decided not to come to the party for one reason or another. 

-Feels very accomplished with herself and her first official Whisper mission. Shes currently on cloud nine, anxiety level is super low as she gets closer and closer back to Gemini's territory.

-She do a smile at all the traveling Inarians again. She do lots of smiles but still lingers in the back of the group similar to how she had when she traveled to Inaria. Though she is more talkative than before. 

-As they get near the wall looms in the distance, Iaera is proud and relieved to see it. Chelea does a call. She silently wonders if there are even any Rangers out on the border except Franky to notice. 

-But she is polite so she keeps such thoughts to herself.

-Chelea offers her a nod, Iaera offers a slight one back, noticing it seemed kinda more like it was a secret thing. Iaera doesn't pay much mind to Margo seeing as she's not been around her much. 

-Announcement is made about enjoying Gemini and having escorts. Iaera decides, "if anyone needs a place to bed down or get away from all the noise, my den is fairly large and in the willow grove." Its an offer. A strange one though. Maybe some cute Inarian would stay with her?

-Was that even what she wanted? Geez.

-It was probably what she wanted but she sat down and pretended it wasn't. Hi Gemini.

ooc: Harriette is offering to take anyone that requires medical attention to the healer's tree!

Inaria was coming to visit, and Harriette had mixed emotions about this whole ordeal already. She’d been stewing on these thoughts for a few days now, unsure whether to be excited or nervous. She was definitely beginning to enjoy meeting new people a lot more, however she didn’t know a whole lot about Inaria – she had never really asked, and she’d never really been told.

Nevertheless, she made her way to the border to offer a helping hand in any way that she could. The last time Gemini came back from Inaria… Well, a lot of medical attention was needed for sure. She hoped that was not the case this time, however she was more than happy to attend to those with sore paws or minor traveling injuries.

She followed the call of a howl, and trotted lightly to their new visitors. Harriette would admit that she was excited for the events that would unfold for the welcoming of Inaria, as she was sure mother (and Akira) had a few ideas in the backs of their minds.

Approaching the border, she saw the lot of them and smiled softly at anyone she could manage to make eye contact with. She caught the end of Chelae’s words, and heard Iaera’s offerings as well. She didn’t particularly know these two, but she was sure she’d seen them around the pack before, and so she nodded toward them in silent greeting.

“Welcome, travelers.” She spoke in a voice that was slightly louder than usual, trying to ensure she was heard by those who’d need her. “I’m Harriette, I’m an Acolyte here, and I can take anyone who needs medical attention to our healer’s tree.” She watched, to see if anyone moved toward her. Please no one be dying…

She cleared her throat lightly and scooted off to the side, to make room for those heading toward Iaera, and told them, “Just come this way if you need to be escorted to the healers.”

And then Harriette waited, sitting patiently, hoping that all she’d have to treat are small sores and perhaps a cough or two or some indigestion. She glanced back a few times, to see if Akira or mother were coming to greet the group of visitors, and would smile widely at them if they did.

Once people began to come to Harriette (if they did), she’d give them a soft hello, and after a few minutes waiting, she’d begin to lead anyone that followed to the healer’s tree, keeping mostly quiet, but offering the odd small talk.
