Welcome to Gaia! ::

When the messenger had arrived at her house there had been a huge commotion from some of the Radaku followed by several irritated squawks from Starline. The worst had been when Kakkara the newly named Janarim had the shifter pinned against the walls of the house, until Teiluj had come out to investigate.

The message had been jumbled and confusing. An Alkidike wanted her attention? She had become accustomed to the strange look she received when others came to her for aid and was able to just shrug it off as their own ignorance. It had only taken Teiluj a few moments to gather up her books, salves, and other healing materials and to notify Nkole she was heading out. Starline was already saddled up from the morning flight and mounting the large Kinfa was an easy task now.

Tao had insisted on following along just in case while Kakkara stayed behind. Following the instructions into the hut Teiluj gasped. First worry then anger. What was V'demhe doing here of all places!? And that had happened to her. Irritated Teiluj closed the distance between then and searched her body for wounds. The smell of the infection was enough to make the hybrid's nose curl. Reaching into her bag Teiluj produced a vial of pungent liquid. "V'demhe, what happened." Teiluj muttered as she brought the vial up to the Alkidikes lips.

Teiluj glanced at the Radaku but ultimately shrugged it off. She grew up around Radaku, and knew them better than she knew herself. Not that she knew this radaku in particular or they way it thought, it was more that she didn't fear them. When her voice was spoken Teiluj stopped moving to look at her. Was she awake? Either way, Teiluj turned her wrist and hoped V'demhe would be able to drink the fluid. She had to numb the girls pain first, from there attempt to rid her body of the infection before working on the wounds on her body. Baby? Teiluj thought as she searched the Alkidikes face.

Did V'demhe approach Aisha for a child already? Or was the youngling a sibling? Friend? "I need you to drink this V'demhe." Teiluj muttered mentally taking note of where the various visible wounds were located. "The way I heal is a bit painful and this will help you endure it."

"What baby?" Teiluj muttered quietly as she watched her friend drink the potion. Good at least now she would be a little numb against the pain that would follow. Cringing Teiluj unhooked the top of her small bag as she opened her hand. Slowly coaxing the book out with her magic. It floated in the air, pages turned in a whooshing motion before settling on a rather complex spell. She had been practicing this one for a while, and was a bit nervous on the execution. It was a spell to pull out toxins from someone's body.

Groaning Teiluj pressed the index finger of her free hand into the more sever looking wound. Chanting as she pressed a little more, she could feel the toxins flowing towards her finger and pooling where she was touching. Grumbling to herself about stupid healers closing wounds when they were obviously infected. Doing that would only make the situation worse for the person. Gritting her teeth as the book clattered to the floor. Her concentration had been broken, blasted Kinfa, reaching into her bag again for her tiny knife Teiluj re-opened Dem's wounds to let the infection drain.

"Stupid healers..." Teiluj muttered with irritation. Usually not one to curse people she was in that mood today, and a good thing she was there for Dem, she thought to herself.

Teiluj focused on pulling the toxins from V'demhe's body, she was aware the Alkidike was talking and there was a twinge of annoyance the worked it's way at Teiluj in what dem was saying. As if the heritage of the baby mattered, should she be proud of V'demhe for this? Was this the reason they were in this situation to begin with. The emotions Teiluj felt at what V'demhe was saying were to complex for the hybrid to desire dealing with for now.

Finally draining the toxin from one wound Teiluj set to repeating the task on the second one. Coming to the conclusion that it was fever talking and not V'demhe. Her eyes snapping away from the work on the wound to look back at Dem. "Why would you ask such a question of me. Me of all people..." She stared at V'demhe a moment before sighing and turning back to tending to her friends injuries. "Worth what? The sun in your smile? A lot. The naive air you bring? Of course, because it's refreshing." She could feel the swell of the toxin forming. "The heart you have inside? More than you know."

Her face flushed brightly before she cleared her throat and for the first time seemed to have a look of irritation about her. "Why are you even asking me this!? You're a pure blooded Alkidike an amazon of the forest!" Pop, the liquid was draining out of the other wound and Teiluj struggled to keep her stomach from joining the pungent liquid on the floor.

Teiluj gave a soft glance to Dem at her last words. Hate her? Never, V'demhe was her friend her heritage didn't mean anything more to her than Nkoles did. It just make her who she was... not to mention even thinking of hating V'demhe because she was a pureblood would be like saying her own mother was detestable. And that just wasn't true. "Oh V'demhe." Teiluj muttered bringing her hand to brush at some of V'demhe's dreads.

"I could never hate you, and certianly not for what you are. You're unique for who you are and I adore that you are exactly, you." Closing her eyes Teiluj had to block the rest of V'demhe's speaking out pressing her fingers against the wound she hybrid struggled to pull at the magic within herself a thick salve like substance was slowly making it's way across V'demhe's wounds but not fast enough for Teilujs liking.

Teiluj flinched at the mention of being hated. If anyone was hated it was herself, not V'demhe. How could someone hate a caring individual like her who seemed to see past the outward shell she held. "You're not hated V'demhe." Teiluj muttered, wondering if perhaps that was why she hadn't seen the Alkidike recently. Leaning back slightly, Teiluj hummed softly to herself. There was little that she would be able to do until V'demhe awoke. Yellow eyes settled on the Radaku, where had she managed to find one of those?

Teiluj stared at the pair with shock. Good might not have been the appropriate word she would have picked but it was V'demhe. Her breath slowly worked it's way out of her body as she relaxed. Grateful that her magic had helped pull V'demhe out of the fevered state she was in.

"What did you go and get yourself into V'demhe? You didn't go running off after the Dretch for something did you?"
