(Jeb, I am so very sorry to hear about your issues. You don't have to go into any detail; we have all been in situations that prevent us from considering anything else until the situations are resolved. Hope you can return very soon, but until then, take care of yourself and hang in there. Runedance will miss Moondrop! Perhaps Moondrop can simply vanish during all the crazy activity? She can return easily with Berit's great ideas later on. I myself have been very distracted, but I MIGHT be given a bit of a reprieve in the next few weeks)
Solstice whines and nudges Stormsong. She can feel him slipping away and isn't sure if she should call him back. It is "The Way" to surrender and let go under the right circumstances, but is this circumstance the right one? She sends to him, calling, but not demanding him to answer or return. The choice is his, and she will respect it.
Stormhunt snarls with annoyance and finally releases the vile prey. She rubs her eyes and face in the ground, water, snow, or not. She growls and paws at her mouth to remove some of the rotten taste. She briefly thinks anything large and strange must not be good eats around these parts. She suddenly felt homesick for the dense, hot jungle. She'd rather be shedding and panting than sick.
Stormvex is about to answer Marut when he calls out for help for Laluna. He hesitates when he receives a send from Solstice and notices her hovering sadly over Stormsong. He looks back at the elves surrounding the blue haired healer and takes a deep breath. He rushes to the wolves, since no one was checking on them. Perhaps he could help them and then race to Laluna's side. **Marut, the wolves need tending; I'll be there in a moment. I can only herbal heal but I might have something that can help,** he quickly sends to the grey haired male.
Solstice licks her bond's hand. **Help? His pack calls but he not decided.** Stormvex understood and reaches for his own pack of personal items. He pulls some herbs and healing liquids Sona had given him. He tried to remember which was which and what did what. He mixes a few to make a compound to combat what might be the poison(s) and pours it carefully down Stormsong's throat so he won't choke on it. **Carefully, friend,** he encourages. **I am Stormvex, Solstice's bond elf. This may help. Rest. We will wait for you.**
Runedance rolls on the ground away from the goo left by the strange beast to clean himself a bit. He grins, feeling the joy of the simple pleasure. He hears the commotion of the others and stops long enough to assess if he's interested or not. He certainly was no healer, and there were several elves attending the fallen. He takes note of his friend and their bonds. Rising, he goes over to them. He is about to suggest something when he sees Stormhunt. He walks to her, grinning. **Just didn't know when to give up, eh, puffball? Hang on, I gotcha,** he grabs his own pack and returns with a flask. **Drink it; it'll help.**
Mixed results. Solstice (2...well, shit), Stormhunt (6 - hurray!), Stormvex (5 - well, maybe Stormsong has a chance!), Runedance (5 - suck it, evil thing)
