The Sentinels Did I disappoint you?

"It does not make sense," Osprey had her say about the theory of "the worse, the better", but she was not questioning Eilidh's knowledge and, even though eating the whole chunk of the honeycomb seemed like so much of more desirable idea, she wanted to show the girl that she was not coward. Therefore the elder picked up a piece of willow-bark reluctantly and began to chew. Her facial expression spoke volumes of, how horrible that bit was, therefore she was happy to spit it out as soon as possible and wash down the bitter taste with mouthfuls of half-melted snow.

The lavender didn't look or smell much better, but she decided that she had complained enough for one afternoon and besides she did not want to annoy Eilidh, who genuinely wanted to help her. "I will," she promised, although she would forget about it, once the leg began to feel better, and during heat it would be the last thing her mind would be occupied with. "How is Casmir doing?" she asked, recalling that in not too ancient past he had been attacked by pirates and looked quite sullen during the meeting.
