Sun Mote Copse times are changing

Eljay tried to sort what sort of things he would tell Kiwi in his head. He wanted to tell her about herbs, but then again, there weren't many around now and those that were were covered in snow. Eljay wanted to avoid another let-down like last time when he'd searched for hours and found no herbs at all, especially in Kiwi's first lesson. A practical approach would be better, but Eljay didn't really hope for anyone to be wounded either. And if they were, he might have to act fast rather than take his time to call for Kiwi and let her have a go at it.

So lost in thought was he that when he heard his name Eljay visibly startled and wheeled around to face whoever'd called. He was surprised to find Niamh there, having thought her to stay back at the Plateau. What was she doing here? Eljay blinked in confusion but he had little time to get to his right mind before noticing the iciness on her fur. He didn't immediately notice the blood on the leg because of her generally frosty appearance.

Niamh! he called out in surprise. What happened to you? The caretaker moved towards Niamh, ears perked forward, and waited to hear what on earth had put her in this state before investigating the damage himself. Now, if only Kiwi would show up, maybe there was a lesson of sorts in here, even if it was just about warming up someone who'd clearly gotten into a bit of a scuffle with the cold weather.
