Botanist And Bards

Cait nodded as the other woman spoke to her dismissively, although she smirked at Charlotte's story as she closed her eyes to begin the process of resting. Aislinn on the other hand still seemed concerned for her friend, but when the older native absentmindedly waved a hand at the black haired woman the girl reluctantly changed the focus of her attention. "Well ... at least they are working then?" The native gave a nervous smile over to the meat eater before taking a quick look at her group mate for a few seconds. "Although ... perhaps we should let Caitriona rest, and go outside instead to talk?"

The girl with lighter hair tried to not appear too worried about her mate - it was only a minor injury apparently lacking even a single completely broken bone and the two of them had no intention of being a pair in the long term - so she forced herself to put on a fake smile as she began to walk towards the cave exit.

If Charlotte was willing to follow, Aislinn would guide the pair of them outside and a short distance from the cave right up to the tree line where she looked upwards a little nervously as she thought about how to explain it. Perhaps ... Perhaps it would be best to ask the woman herself? "Charlotte ... do you know ... how you managed to summon the strength?" The previous day she had mentioned the runes possibly causing exhaustion, which made the native look up with concern. "Does anything hurt, do you feel unusual in any way?"

And perhaps it would be a good idea to start brightening the mood genuinely. "And by the way, they look nice on you. Blue was a good choice, I think."

A little surprised as she was silenced, Cait pouted slightly as Charlotte did not want to play along with her teasing, but obediently followed her directions as she took in deep breaths, whimpering slightly as the black haired woman examined her wound with a gentle touch of her hand. Soon a diagnosis followed, which Cait nodded to. She could have guessed that, but it hurt a lot more than expected and the girl let off a few small whimpers in spite of herself.

The native was naturally curious what exactly 'nature extract' consisted off, sniffing the potion and getting the scent of a few flowers drifting into her nose from the emerald liquid. As she heard the direction to drink, Cait tossed Charlotte a questioning look but didn't argue as she tilted her head back and almost spit the liquid out due to how differently it tasted from the smell. That wasn't to say the concoction was awful, but rather that the scent of flowers had been misleading. Soon enough though, the native was done drinking as she passed the empty flask back into Charlotte's hands.

A few seconds later she looked at the bed she was laying on and looked back up at Charlotte. "I'm ... feeling tired. Should I rest medicine woman?" Cait winked as she gave Charlotte that title, then simply decided she would lay there and perhaps talk a bit until she started feeling sleep.

Aislinn however had waken up during this entire process, looking between her old ... friend and the black haired woman. Her eyes drifted over to the black bruise on Cait's stomach, which she gasped slightly at before giving Charlotte a poke in the side to catch her attention. "Charlotte ... what happened?" The native was clearly concerned for the other of her kind, not having the context for the entire situation. She kneeled next to the beside giving the senior native a critical look before looking back at Charlotte ... "The tattoos ... is this their work?"

Cait giggled slightly, but it started to hurt so she stopped. "... They were successful in hurting me, at least."

The magierprinz nodded with a smile on her face, then got her mind working as they sat there. "So ... what's the play then?" After the mage mentioned that however, she took a critical look at the paladin as she thought about Lady Gwynn in the corner of her mind. Selvina had her own thoughts on the subject, but now the other woman was in charge - and besides, she likely had a more well constructed plan anyways and had gone on missions more similar to the one they were currently embarking on.

The native nodded as Charlotte ranted at her, but was relieved as the black haired girl helped her up and into the cave. Cait sat down on the bed, removing her dress to reveal a large black spot just above her stomach that was clearly where the impact had occurred. She wasn't able to hold back a few tears from forming, but she still had a tough smile on her face as she persevered through the pain and tried to hold onto a tough act. She'd been playing with powers she barely understood - she had no tattoos herself - and earned the reward for it. She didn't get to complain about the pain it caused.

"... Like ... Like what you see?" The girl with multicolored hair tried to form an honest smirk as referenced her largely naked body, but winced as a wave of pain washed over her. Either way, some rest was probably going to be in order although the girl seriously doubted the wound was permanent.

Selvina just looked over at Luna as she was suddenly being fed a lot of information. The girl had talked, then? That was good - the magierprinz would have been glad to help out if she wasn't willing too, although the thought unsettled her stomach a bit. It was nice to have Luna taking care of everything ... actually, that is probably where this conversation was headed.

Might as well get to it first.

"Thanks Luna. I ... I think we'll trust your instincts here. You've done most of the work for this operation, and I think it's only right you are put in charge for it. I've gone through a lot recently, and it's been distracting me from thinking clearly. And besides. You are a natural leader. It'd be nice just to follow for once."

Cait felt herself twist into an uncomfortable position as Charlotte's blue tattoos changed to a lighter color as they glowed from power. The native was ready to let the bigger woman go and congratulate her, but a sudden pain erupted in her stomach and she felt the urge to curl up as suddenly she was tossed to the ground. The girl with multicolored hair landed after rolling over once or twice, not moving for a bit.

Eventually she started to adjust for a full minute, eyes flowing with tears from the pain as she tried to sit up and breathe normally - but her ribs suggested she shouldn't. The girl ran a hand over the area, where likely a massive bruise was forming. Maybe a slight crack internally? Either way, the native looked up to Charlotte as she tried to speak clearly. "... it worked ..."

Her arm also hurt from being tossed around, and although Cait internally was upset at Charlotte for being a bit too forceful she realized the black haired girl didn't really have control of the situation either. The orange hair girl instinctively whimpered as she tried to stand up, grabbing a fallen branch to help. "... I ... I think I'm going to rest for ... today ... yeah ..."

Selvina gave Lyssa a reassuring smile as she listened, although was a little confused. Didn't she know that adventuring could involve fights? Why did she come along then? Still though, the noblewoman listened to Lyssa and gave her another pet before continuing. "I'm sure my butt is most esteemed to share that position with me" Trying to balance with it was a complicated matter on it's own. Getting more serious though, the mage put an arm around Lyssa and gave her a small squeeze. "It's not always the best way, but sometimes two sides disagree and they can't compromise. I've lived in politics my whole life - trust me, war is expensive in many different ways. If there was a solution around it, I'm sure all the greedy monarchs of the world would have found a way around it." A few seconds past before she continued her thought. "I don't think it makes you foolish though to find it distasteful - it means that you have a conscious in there somewhere." The petting was made more intense for a few seconds as Selvina looked back towards the building, noticing Luna waiting in the doorway.

The magierprinz beckoned for her to come over, giving a small look to Lyssa. She was fairly sure she knew what this was about. "I think Luna wants to talk to me as well - how about you visit with Eith upstairs? This ... might be a bit serious."

In response to Charlotte's pleas, the native simply hugged the woman tighter as she squirmed and leaned her head in slightly and spoke softly. "Remember, I said these tattoos allow our people to smell your arousal." Of course that wasn't true, but she was sort of hoping that the other woman would believe her anyways. And she was also hoping that the other girl would figure out how to use her strength tattoos - rocks could hurt, but hugs couldn't. "I know those tattoos can grant you strength. If you really wanted out you'd turn them on and toss me off, wouldn't you?" The native gave the taller woman a wink before giving her a suggestive grin.

If this didn't make them activate she wasn't sure what would.

Cait shouted back at Charlotte as she seemed clearly annoyed. "No, I'm trying to do science? How is it working?" Having no concept of what that really meant, the native decided that enough was probably enough as she set the stones down and stealthily approached the large tree, standing on the other side of it. She gradually inched around until the other woman was right next to her, catching her while she was looking the other way. "Hey. Charlotte. Is it working?" The other woman would feel a hug as Cait gave her a mischievous smirk. After the conversation the previous day, she really couldn't resist it.

Cait puffed her cheeks out as Charlotte got irritated, then let out a small laugh. "Crazy? I speak to animals on a daily basis, so according to you probably." Another rock was tossed at the black haired woman. "Just hoping a little trial by fire would help you out! You can do it Charlotte!" Really, the woman had little notion of how the tattoos worked or why most twelve year olds were more proficient with them than the black haired woman was, but the native seemed to appreciate the comedy it caused whether or not the woman was successful in catching them.

Aislinn was unfortuantly still sleeping after all the work the previous night, so it seemed like for a short time Charlotte would have to tolerate Cait's more impromtu methods.
