Talon tried his best to ignore what Valeria was doing, turning his gaze back over the water, seeking to turn his thoughts off- or at the very least force them away. His heart was beating fast and he coudln't quite slow his breathing down. She would know. How could she not? Thev various injuries, healed from time, of abuse... he couldn't quite cover the panic, couldn't quite soothe himself. She wasn't going to hurt him- at least physically. She didn't ask questions, just pulled away with that smile. 

And then she was going... leaving, just like they all did. Clenching his jaw, he nodded. [color=#FF0000]"Thank you."[/color] he said softly, not entirely sure what else he could say. She didn't ask any questions, yet surely she must know. He hesitated, opening his mouth to speak but stopped, looking away again. [color=#FF0000]"ALright. See you later."[/color] He couldn't avoid returning back to the cabin forever, he supposed. 

He turned to leave, reluctant to do so. Oh, he was sure eventually Elias or Octavia would find him. He didn't particularly want either of them to do so. He could still feel a spark of anger at Octavia- she'd probably demand an apology. It wasn't going to happen. Talon wasn't ever going to apologise for just being every again. Not when it hadn't been his fault. And Elias... he'd want to talk. Talon had, so far, managed to keep his secrets from his siblings at the very least. He would not put himself in a position to be hurt again. Just because they were his siblings, didn't mean he had to trust them. 

His gaze, unbidden, moved back to Valeria. He had, grudgingly, given her a little bit of trust. Healed his wounds, without turning what she must have found against him. Could he trust that? Or would she use it against him, later? He watched a moment, before sighing and starting to walk away from the lake, back towards the cabins. 

Perhaps he could sneak in, check on Ciscely... and then sneak back out.

Kalinda shrugged and sighed, [color=firebrick]"I don't think the Gods really care about whether or not they can do a thing, they just do it. It's gonna be apart of their games- they have to use catspaws to harm each other, I guess."[/color] she said, wearily, her gaze flicking to Octavia as she started to leave. Well, she couldn't keep her here, as much as she wanted to at least make sure the other girl was alright. 

She had to trust the other healers, she couldn't always be there for everyone. Even if it did send a stab of guilt through her. She returned her gaze to her sister. [color=firebrick]"We need to be watchful for visions. And even if they seem insignificant, we can't ignore them. The smallest thing could be important."[/color] She well knew that. Vivian might be more skilled in the area of visions- certianly she received more than Kalinda. That was okay- Kalinda was more skilled in the healing arts and that was the way she liked it. 

And yet... she knew what ignoring a vision could lead to. [color=firebrick]"I'm tempted to get more supplies organised. The ones going with Erin will need them. I doubt I'll be going- but it would be good if a healer could go... "[/color]. Kalinda had no doubt that those going with Erin would need medical treatment, and she wished she could protect them all. She sighed again, running a hand through her black hair. [color=firebrick]"We can do stuff for them, before they go. I expect it will be soon, if the others can convince her."[/color] Convincing Erin, she suspected, would be next to impossible. 

She rose from the bed, shaking her head. [color=firebrick]"Well, we should get started."[/color] She stepped over to grab Chaos from Zane's hands, [color=firebrick]"Thanks."[/color] She absently took out the leash and got Chaos set up, the ferret pleased to be able to explore even slightly. [color=firebrick]"Bandages, antiseptic, numbing salve stitches... "[/color] The fucking Gods had to be laughing at them. Her gaze went over the others in the infirmary. It wouldn't be the first time Kalinda was making a pack for those going on quests... but this one seemed more important. Those that went wouldn't have time for hospitals or to get back to camp for help. 

[color=firebrick]"Any thoughts?"."[/color]
