OOC: Shame on him for scaring the poop out of her!
Xi’nuata was deathly still as she sat staring at the healer. Her eyes were wide and hackles began to bristle with alarm as the frightful imagery of this illness consumed her mind. She could not imagine what she would do, what she’d be able to do if an affliction of that nature took hold of her mind and controlled her body.
But it was not this manner of sickness that consumed her, as the tell of the blood-stained healer implied he knew what it was. Her lids spanned further and lips quivered in silent fright. If it had taken several that he knew, then he must have been well versed. But how… how could she have the same sort of illness? The warden believed she took good care of herself. But perhaps that was not enough.
“…its course?” she mumbled, letting her ears fall back against her autumnal crown. “Is it long?” she inquired. “What more will come? Will I need to stay from the pack?” She could not risk the others, especially those healing, to fall victim to what plagued her. |
