Redhawk Caldera days turn blue to grey

Sorry it took so long to reply.  I was without a computer for most of the week.  Btw, is the family/pack using the badger den for anything at the moment?  If not, is it OK if Raven uses that as her own place, mostly for storing her plants/herbs/etc?

Though Raven was a deep thinker and tended to dwell on things more than most kids her age should, she also had an attention span that was reasonably easy to manipulate.  Hearing "Dr. Raven, medicine woman" perked up her ears, brightened her eyes, and brought a grin to her face.  Plants and their medicinal qualities were one of the very few things of which the youngest Redhawk was most passionate.  It was a soothing thing to her, one that demanded equal parts intellect, dedication, curiosity, and courage.  It was something she'd pursued and learned almost exclusively by herself, despite the fact that there were plenty of adults around that she could have asked (and Sebastian was, in fact, a qualified healer).

Few things gave her more pride and satisfaction than when her parents, the Alphas of her pack, recognized the value of what she did and put it to use.  It made her feel important and needed.  So when Dud asked her if she could help with a cold that was going around, she looked at him with obvious delight and nodded eagerly.  "I know a few things that might help!" she piped up exuberantly, already running through a list in her head of what she had stashed in the badger den.  "Who all is sick?"
