Sleep had been impossible. Kallik had finally given up trying and set to work patrolling instead. Work allowed him to clear his mind and maybe with a quiet head, he could get some rest.

But it hadn't worked. The turmoil that simmered in his chest had apparently been even too much for his normal avoidance techniques. For a while, he wandered around with his torturous feelings and thoughts until he couldn't stand it any longer. He wanted to scream and cry at the same time. But he would do neither of those things; then he might actually be dealing with his emotions. 

He hadn't even realized his wandering had led him to the medicine den. It smelled of the healer and her many plants; it eased the pressure in his chest some. But he was unsure what to do when he realized where he was. The auxillary stood outside the entrance for what felt like hours and then he released a heavy sigh and started to turn around. He should just go.
