Redtail Rise fairy-land

Avicus watches her daughter's ministrations, sitting comfortably by Ashlar and resisting the urge to lean against him (though he'd love that, most certainly). it's strange to feel so weak; she had hated it before and she hates it now, and yearns for the day when she needs the bare minimum assistance once more.

Masque finishes and asks her a question, moving into an explanation. she nods slowly along, then more firmly as the girl finishes her spiel, glancing at the healer.

you can help him, Avicus says, gaze warm. he'dh like your help. righh'? Reki has been scarce since his incident in the hinterlands, so the more paws to assist Ashlar, the better.

something's beginning to dawn on her, but she won't know it for a while, yet.
