Blacktail Deer Plateau It's dark it's cold it's winter

It broke Blue's heart to see her adopted niece so pitiful. She was alarmed when the girl shrunk away from her. The smell of blood was tangible and Blue was absolutely scared to death that the girl was hurt badly. She couldn't see though and it drove her mad with worry.

The girl spoke finally and lied to the healer's face ,she could tell. But she kept her mouth shut, it was hard to counter, the emotions of those not yet fully grown. She did not wish to upset her further. Blue smiled sadly and nodded well then we don't have to talk if you don't want too. But at least let me sit with you. Blue sat down near the girl, if that gesture was welcomed she'd work her way around to lay against her, offer her own warmth to the princess of the plateau.
