The waves come crashing in

Sorry for the delay, and for this crummy post. I have no good excuse other than life's been busy. ^_^

Sapphire eyes continued to stream tears of pain even as the hope that someone would hear Alder's call lingered in her mind. When a woman dashed into the room and kneeled in front of her, dumping out a satchel of unknown items, the honey colored girl barely had time to notice before another wave of pain swept over her, and her stomach felt like it was finally going to win against her will and send its contents up and out. She managed to hold it down, however, as her ears detected the woman's words of encouragement. "Th-thank you," she sobbed, a relieved smile curling the edges of her lips for a brief moment as she tried to calm herself as she had been instructed. This woman had to be the healer. Her tone, her actions, her entire demeanor seemed to convey confidence in what she was doing, and this confidence was slowly radiating into the Tahra girl. The aching, shivering, and other pains were still there, but now she had more help. Maybe she wasn't going to die.

The healer asked Alder what had happened to her, and the feathery-furred girl couldn't help but feel slightly sorry for him. He had only met her once before, and her story had probably been confusing to him. If he even remembered part of it she would have been impressed. So when he answered the woman with exactly the right answer her spirits lifted again. The pain that racked her fragile form prevented her from expressing her gratitude, but she would have to thank him when this was all over.
