With interest, Bleach watched the bird as it flew to his companion, leaning back a fraction as it alighted on his arm. The idea that Luperci could have pets was fascinating to her. She made no comment, however, and returned his smile. "Well met," she said, turning to begin their descent down the mountain. "I'm Bleach Evers," she tossed over her shoulder, keeping her bright eyes on the ground. She took great care to lead him on a rather tame path, making their process slow-going. Eventually the massive tree could be seen through the other foliage, and the faint trail gave way to the empty riverbed.

She had been using the term 'den' loosely. Only a small indention in the overhang had been dug; it wasn't spacious enough to fit a shifted wolf, standing or laying. Her belongings, consisting of a large army sack and bookcase, were under the shade of the tree, where she had also been sleeping, as it was the driest part of the area. The continuous rain had produced copious amounts of mud, which made digging a den dreadful work. But she would have to get it done at some point.

Suppressing a sigh at the mess that was her 'den,' Bleach led him under the vast branches of the tree where the earth was dry and the space clear. "Take a seat, and forgive the mess," she muttered, already pawing through the various containers on the bookshelf. She retrieved the spool of gauze, then thought better of it. It would probably hinder his breathing. Searching again, she produced a jar, a flask, and a measuring cup, then took a seat directly in front of Ladon. She opened the jar, which was filled with a greenish-brown powder, and poured out a tablespoon's worth into the cup. Then the flask was opened, the powder tipped in, the flask recapped, shaken vigorously, and finally offered to the young man.

"The powder is an assortment of herbs and leaves soaked in sugarwater, dried, crushed and now dissolved in saltwater. It won't taste very good, but it's potent." Bleach smiled reassuringly at him, realizing it sounded ridiculous.
