As the woman spoke, Alaine listening intently, her emerald gaze still grazing the other's tired features for some sort of unvoiced explanation. Her revelation was surprising - A severe case of insomnia? The young healer's brows rose in momentarily surprise; She'd never before seen a case this bad. But already, a list of ingredients and supplements and medical treatments was running through her mind at the speed of light, a clinical spark lit in the lady's intelligent gaze. She nodded sympathetically but said nothing, allowing this 'Anann' to continue her tale.
" Well, we shall just see about that, miss... Please, take a seat."
She watched as the other woman gazed semi-curiously about the dark interior of the Chien Hotel, and wondering again at her sudden arrival. She'd never seen Anann at any of the few pack gatherings, but could already smell the scent of other pack members about her form. Releasing the woman's arm, the healer quickly dipped her head.
" Sorry to pry, but I'm going to need just a few details, miss Anann. Firstly, just how long HAS it been since you had a restful night's sleep?"
By the looks of the bags beneath her eyes, the golden canine must have been deprived for some time now. Alaine knew also that going to a healer was often the more prideful creatures' last resort, and therefore her turmoil must be already bordering on unbearable for her to be seeking assistance. Pulling out a chair opposite from the lady, the more petite form of the collie-woman peering in at her face inquisitively. Anann's pupils were dull and round, flat in the dimness of the room. Pursing her maw thoughtfully, Alaine waited for an answer, wondering just how strong her prescription was going to need to be.
