The boy could hardly hear the apothecary's words, his heart racing so fast that there was little else he was able to focus on. He breathed through his nose, trying to ease his nerves so that perhaps he could be of some help. Blue eyes looked from one doggish hybrid to the other, waiting to the moment Faryn would stop breathing. No, he remembered. The healer said she wouldn't, the memory coming to him. He had been listening. Alder didn't understand what this fight meant, what the drugs did to her body to make her react like this. He only nodded when she told him her plan, and when the questions came to him, Alder stood frozen for a moment. Foot-paws shuffled back to the door, arms stiff and eyes wide. He paused, and spoke her name without looking back. "Faryn." That was all he really knew about her, that and a single tragic story.
Large dark toned hands rummaged through the small room. It was nothing but a nook in the hallway, though its contents were promising. A broom stick leaned towards him, fabric strings caught on his claws, and then he finally found a bright white bucket with a metal handle. Racing back to the room Alder set it by the pair. He didn't want to look, didn't want to look and kept his eyes on the floor and kept quiet.
