Lost Echo

/~Listen to the Stinger. She speaks sense!~/ Nezumi snapped in Kuma’s mind, supplementing Helena’s warning, taking her aback. /The herbs.../ she allowed the thought to trail off. She was used to getting tasks and completing them. Injured, needs herbs, get herbs. Those steps were clear and focused. But she trusted Nezumi. It was she who saw the twists, who saw the other parts. The Matu nodded in return to Rose’s comment but did not stop her. It was obvious her focus would not leave her sister. When the sister tensed, Kuma connected it to the strange boy, the one offering these herbs. She allowed herself to move between the two as she focused on Amalia. The knight was speaking of, “You want to take her with us? Sure, she rambled about the Well,” Another thing that was going to get them killed, “But she also rambled nonsense.”
A puff of air surrounded the blue girl as she sighed from all her oki. “I did tell her the Inquisition was after those who searched for the well. She seemed to take that as admission we were, though perhaps Rose’s derision dissuaded her.” She knelt suddenly, picking up the pile of clothes Nezumi had dragged to her side. The shirt went on first, damp with sand still in it while the rat stayed in the pant’s pocket, Kuma standing to put them on. “There is the question of why a syphid would even be this far inland. We have little interaction with them in the east, but I had thought they never left their waters or interfered with land problems. Why would a single one just randomly attack a group?” There were questions to be had, but Kuma felt if this one was alone, which was likely--the fish within the lake had no disturbances--then it was better off killing her. It was only fair; Nezumi could have died.
It was with that thought that she returned to whether to go to the island. An eye stared longingly at it. It looked almost like home. There was snow. Kuma missed snow. But for all her fur, Nezumi could get cold. Was the risk not worth it? “Helena; do you have similar herbs to ease their burns back at camp?” Ayana looked prepared to leave. Kuma did not want her to go with the stranger alone.
