Bearclaw Valley this is the last take for the night, understand it's kinda late

Alexander’s own body relaxed shortly after she had, easing up and letting his tail fall; it remained raised higher than hers but was no longer arched over his back. “Her name’s Indra,” he answered. “Small, red—missing a tail.” Which was something that she’d be treating. Obviously, her tail couldn’t be brought back or replaced, but what was left behind still needed medical attention to keep an infection from setting in. There was no way he’d lose her to that, or anything, especially not so earlier on after meeting her.

“I can introduce you to her, after you get whatever plants you’ll need,” he offered, not knowing that the two had already met. As far as he knew, this was her first time being in the valley, and he had no knowledge of Laurel and Indra’s travels following their acceptance into the valley.
