ARAXES
tender heart
It had been a few weeks since the unfortunate happening at the beach, and Araxes certainly showed signs of her injuries still. The odd motion of her walk (stiff and careful), the wing that had to be wrapped against her head to heal the broken bones within. The wounds that were beginning to pucker and scar among a bespeckled blanket of fur on her body. They weren't as bad as they had been, but it was still enough to hinder the champion as she moved and walked, carefully meandering the books of her area.
Cyn and Sia were likely off somewhere else, taking care of themselves, but she knew they would be safe so long as they were together. That, and the Sovereign that had been the one to create all of that tension in the first place? She had heard whispers of his rumored death by the jaws of a beast that had roamed the canyons, and since then, things seemed to ease up. Her pain not so much, but that didn't much matter to Ara, and she carefully lay on the cushions gathered to sink down in to them and ease up aches as she sighed out, carefully pulling several herbs to her to start stripping off the leaves, using her telekinesis to do it.
It wasn't until there was the sound of her name that she looked up. Her normally braided hair was kept up on her neck in a giant bunch, held up out of the way and to allow her freedom of movement. The same was with her tail, all folded up carefully and wrapped to a loose bun that ensured she wasn't dragging the hair and snagging on things. "Oh, Isorath.." Her voice was warm despite herself, slate eyes brightening a little and a smile pulling on her lips as she lifted her head up a little.
She wished she could stand rapidly, but there was too much pain at the moment to get herself up when she had just gone down.
"Tea? That sounds lovely.. thank you for bringing some for me," Ara said, her voice warming a little more, gaining the soft chime she usually had. Some part of her was still bouncy and childish, waiting to come out, but it would be a long while until she was healed properly enough for it.
Even her salves and drinks didn't do too much to speed the process along.
