There weren't many people she felt instantly comfortable with, and the fact that she was able to be comfortable around Dawali spoke highly of him to her. The male seemed kind, gentle, wise, and thoughtful; all of which were qualities that the gir greatly admired. He reminded her a little of her parents and perhaps that was part of the reason she felt so at ease around him. It would not have surprised her to find out that he was a father and had daughters of his own. Generally speaking, those that had children of their own were more patient and understanding in dealing with all children, even one so bashful as Cambria was. Though she had to admit that she had surprised herself in her ability to call for the AniWayan medic and to be straightforward with him in her requests. It was her desire to first help the dove, and now to help others, that drove her. Without that pushing her forward she most likely would not have been able to muster to courage and composure.
It was a great thing that she was asking of him and she knew it. With all that she needed to learn it would be a long and perhaps slow process requiring a lot of time and commitment from the both of them. Adults ran busy lives and it was not as easy for them to make such a sacrifice of their time as it was for one Cambria's age. If she had known that he was not only the healer but the leader of the tribe she would have felt guilty asking this of him for she knew how busy leaders were for her own mother was one. It was an endless job leading a pack and she knew how hard her mother worked and knew it must be the same for other alphas. Apprehension filled her as Dawali stooped down to look at her at her level, fearing that he would not be able to grant this request. The words that came from him were wholly unexpected and she was momentarily dumbfounded by them. He thought she was brave? He thought she was smart? The compliments flooded her and made her cheeks flush, such a surprise his words were. Usually in such a situation she would ask the question "really?", but from his face she could tell that everything he had said he had truly believed. It was astonishing to the girl that he saw those qualities in her.
When he said that he would train her her tail wagged slowly to and fro. The one condition made sense and she didn't think she would have any problem with it. AniWaya was quite close to Crimson Dreams and so making the trek between the two would not be a problem for her. She would just tell her parents what she was doing and when she was leaving so they would know where she was and would not worry. Cambria's head nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, I understand, I can do that." It was a very small price to pay for what he was going to help her with. "Thank you so much Dawali, thank you, thank you!" With him to help her she thought she just might have a chance at this.
