Redsand Canyon baby's got no control

Malila was largely silent on their way back to the tablinum, echoing the seriousness of the situation. It reflected her mood perfectly. She was young. She had no actual medical training. And now that she was facing her first real life test, she proved she had the right instincts. No nonsense. No dawdling. Just swift, decisive action.

With stiffly pricked ears, Malila zeroed in on Aquene's every word with startling intensity. She was instant in following directions, sweeping to the said corner and grabbing a lump of cobwebs in her jaws. She set it down, not applying it since she had not been instructed to do so yet. Just as quickly, she fetched the grain wrapped in the hide Aquene described. It was then she noticed Tamar, the woman she had seen at the meeting a while ago. She would have greeted the woman with a gentle nudge, but was in too serious a mood to do so. But she did give her a quick glance, eyes softening briefly.
