Sunbeam Lair Joining

Due to the character having gone inactive, an ending was tacked onto this.

Similar to her companion, the female had felt the pull of temptation towards the notion of testing out the girl's knowledge. In the end, however, she had decided against it. Even if the stranger was only a beginner, that did not mean she was worth any less than someone who'd been practicing in the medical field for years on end. Of course, the latter would have far more experience and knowledge, but in teaching a student, a mentor could discover so much more. Asterr hoped to accomplish just that, to observe things from numerous points of view and concoct solutions based on both proven and theoretical fixes. If the thought of doing so hadn't been enough, then Noctura's query was the final thing needed to push her over.

"That is true," she'd murmured, looking to him with an expression of gratitude. He had assisted her in making a decision and, whether she realized it or not, that meant more than she could ever think it to. "I believe you would make a wonderful addition to our tribe," the chieftess had voiced, her head turning to regard the other girl. "There are a number of plant species that can be found within our home—perhaps even more so than we can count—so I do not believe you will encounter any issues in furthering your studies." Of course, the dragoness could not stop there. "However, before truly welcoming you, I must know whether or not you can give to us your loyalty." It was always the deciding factor, in the end. No matter how much of a fit she believed an outsider to be, it meant absolutely nothing if they were of traitorous character.

And of traitorous character the other made herself out to be. For rather than accepting the terms of her stay there with them, the female had departed without so much as a proper goodbye. It was discerning, but not at all something new. At times, the pressure simply became too much, and Asterr could not blame another for choosing to take a different path in life. Thus, after having watched the girl take her leave, she'd looked to her companion. A smile was tossed his way before he was motioned to follow, and back into the heart of the lair they'd gone.
