Herbalists' Cache wake up

Artaax's last foray into the wilderness to attempt to find his wayward sister had ended in frustration. Just frustration. Nothing else. Not even the suggestion of a hint as to where Bat had run off to. It had pissed him off deeply and driven him back home, attempting to convince himself that she could just go right to hell if she would rather be lost to him than found.

Eventually though, his temper tantrum subsided, and out he went again. He decided to take a more practical approach and searched the areas nearest to Drageda first before going further. Unfortunately, weeks had passed since Bat had disappeared, so there was no real trail for him to even hope to find. That meant he had to resort to a thing he loathed utmost amongst perfectly common and acceptable things one could spend their time doing; he would have to talk to others. If anyone could help him find Bat, it would be someone who had happened to have seen her. It was up to luck now. And fortunately, Artaax had always been very proficient at contributing the effects of luck to his own spectacular abilities. So it would all work out in the end.

Until... he came upon the first stranger.

The fuck is she doing... the feisripa thought to himself as he gazed solemnly at the dark shape in the distance. He had paused to watch it - no, her... Her? Yeah, her - struggle for a few minutes before she finally paused and stopped stirring. His eyes narrowed in a frown as she continued to not move and thus left him with a very perplexing decision to make. In her current state, she didn't seem like she was going to be helpful at all to his search. But, if he passed the opportunity up and she had known something, wouldn't that be a failure on his part? He huffed with annoyance before starting towards her. This was probably going to end poorly, buuuuuut... Why not?

Artaax paused when he was within a few feet of her and lowered his head, tilting it slightly as he let a low rumble echo out of his chest. It was his attempt to get her attention so that he could ask about Bat. Because things like "are you okay?" and "do you need help?" simply didn't occur to him when he was on a mission. Or when he was breathing.
