she runs on indignation

Reek, aka scraggles, fell silent. Smart wolf... He set quickly to the task of uprooting the rest of that plant. She observed him, watching as he dug around the base of it and ultimately brought the herb up and out of the ground. He presented it to her and Citali moved forward accordingly. "Roots are mostly in tact..." she murmured. "It will do." There were a few core roots here and there that had been severed that might later effect the thyme's growth, but she supposed that was something they'd all just find out in due... time. Darn it. Now she was punishing herself with puns.

Her lips pursed, mostly at her inner dialogue, though the boys had no way of knowing. Realizing this, she gave a quick exhale and followed it with a deeper breath. Inhale. Exhale. All better now.

Or would have been, if Arion once more reminded her that he was ever so determined to make sure she slept soundly at night. "I sleep fine," she snapped. Her reserve broke and she set to watch him gather up the rest of the herbs. She tapped her foot impatiently as he rambled on about names. "How many names does one wolf need? One is plenty. Yours is 'brown one'." Thanatos was a mouth full. That was not a name so easily cursed. Brown one was more akin to shit.

Oh good heavens! Where were her ladylike manners?

Out for lunch, clearly. "We look nothing alike." She lingered for a moment, waiting for him to gather up the rest of the herbs. "Now, if you would. That clearing. Where is it? Lead us there." Arion'd mentioned it a time or two before. Surely he'd remember where it was and then they could all get there more swiftly than if they were to wander around and simply hope they'd happen upon it.
