The flower keeps the fever from our patient, Sialuk said in a hushed tone, turning briefly to look at their sleeping subject. Orca's next question was a surprising one, though perhaps it should not have been. The starwoman had been known to place blessings upon the mountain and her loved ones, praying at the shrine in her ulaq. It was not a far step from there to bring harm to those who might cause harm to those she loved. Meerkat's kin were firmly in that category, and Sialuk did think that the hellcat did not belong in their world.

Come, let us find a stone that has the same color as this hellcat, she said to Orca, beginning the short path to the river. We will put our own blood upon it and bury it to bind the creature who did this to your father and sister.
