she runs on indignation

Arion didn't need more names. 'Brown one' would do. The one he offered her, however, merely caused her to lift a wolven brow upon her forehead and stare back. That name wouldn't stick. She'd not respond to it, nor would she comment further on it. However, lest the brown one's scraggly friend get any ideas, she cast Reek a longer, harder, scarier stare. He'd not be using that particular nickname either and since the rest of these wolves respected a top-down leadership, he'd do well to lead by example and not call her that.

She noted Reek's words, but put a pin on them. She'd comment later. For now, the three of them were off for a stroll as Arion led them towards one of the many clearings in this forest. She padded amidst them, walking along contentedly as the neared the inner stretches of this land. The sun cut through the dappled trees leaving sun trails upon her back as they traveled. The touches of warmth here and there were welcomed.

When they'd arrived at the clearing, Citali took a mental inventory of the space. Quaint. Well laid out. Fairly flat and even. This would most certainly do. She picked up a rock with her teeth and placed it at one end. Found another and placed it at another. A third and she aligned it with the treeline directly across from her. With all three markers and the forest, she'd created a box in one portion of the clearing to mark the boundaries of her garden.

"Ready to make true on your offer, Reek?" she asked. She beamed lightly. He'd offered to help... and as far as gardens went, this particular act of starting one was the most laborious. She did not wish to tend to it alone. "If we're going to plant that herb, we'll need to aerate the earth and carve rows into the soil." She positioned herself in the corner she'd marked closet the treeline. Her garden rows would run parallel to the trees in this place and she began by drawing her paws across the soil. She unearthed a bit of, well, earth and began to step backwards as she carved a line upon the ground. "Think you can finish this row?" she asked, looking to other healer.
