 It had only been two days since Calelha had been gifted by the Grandfather Tree. Her sister and her had made the long journey back through the barrens both excited and chatting about all the wonderful things their gift might do. Once back in the Homewood Cattleya had run off to go tell her friends all about her gift. Calelha had only wanted to get home so she continued on her way. Once the doe had made it home her sweet mother had suggested she head to a wonderful place called the spa. Her mother had told her the location and that a sweet rose doe was running the place and Calelha could really use it after being in the barrens. So that is what she did. Calelha had never heard of a spa but her mother recommendation was enough of a reason to try it out. As she came to the place her mother had spoke of she spotted a beautiful tobiano rose doe. "That must be the one running the spa." She though happily. "Hello." She called to greet the doe. "My name is Lady Calelha I have been recommended to come to your spa I believe." she waited for the doe to responded not wanting to be rude or imposing in any way. wc:216

 Dusty Rose had been walking among the few heated pools in the main clearing of what was considered the spa. It wasn't really all that much, just some hot springs with a cooler brook that babbled near by for those who didn't want to enjoy the warm water. It was mostly used for those covered in mud from their adventures before the Nouls enter the hot spring pools. Ears twitching slightly as she heard someone behind her, seems someone else had arrived and was looking to enjoy the spa. The rose colored doe turned around and smiled at the one that spoke. "Hey there, Welcome to the Homewood Spa. How may I assist you today?" She asked in her cheeriest way. Sometimes it is a bit strained, mostly those days she had been working too much. Thankfully she had had a day with her friends the day before and she was just her bright and cheery self. When the doe before her said that she was recommended to this spa, Dusty wasn't too sure if there were any others, but she could only assume that there were others. But to this she gave a mental shrug before turning her attention back to the matter at hand... hoof.. "My name's Dusty Rose and I shall be your hostess for today."WC: 219

Calelha had never been to spa of any kind so she had no idea how that doe could help. Looking around to see if she could identify anything she would understand to be a spa, she found nothing that would be of help. "Ummm...well honestly I have never been to spa so maybe you could just direct me on what to do?" She was lost and not at all afraid to show it. Calelha's face was a picture of confusion she was sure. After all she normally just bathed in a river or lake. But her mother thought the hot water would do her better after such a long journey and she did not have the heart to stay no to her mother. Calelha was however pleased with how sweet Dusty Rose seemed to be. It reminded her of her sister and made it a lot easier for her to relax. She was not sure how the doe would take her next thought but she felt it save to share the thought so she did. "I love your name by the way so pretty much like your self." Besides being good manner Calelha did find the doe to be very pretty, she had not seen many noulicorn in her shade of color before. wc:213

"Thank you." Dusty said as her cheeks seemed to turn as rosy as her own coat, but she soon shook her head as the Doe before her didn't know what to do at a spa. Well this was understandable. This was still a bit new to everyone, but it was one way for her to help others. And it was a good way for her to practice her gift. With the need for Vivfy for those coming back from adventures. This just seemed like a nice idea. "That is quite alright, this is still a new thing. I'm really the only one here for the moment." She had had only one real customer before this one came. While other Nouls came for the spring because they were just there, not really for the spa idea. "At the moment there is the hot springs to soak those tired muscles in. We do have a cooler brook if the springs are too warm to cool off in. I can also serve and herbal two to help you relax as well." There was more she wanted to add more services, but right now this was all she had. She didn't know what else could be added, something would come to mind she was sure. Turning from the Doe, taking a couple steps she looked back. "If you'd like to follow me, I can show you one of the hot pools and let you decide if that is something you'd like to do." She was still smiling, wishing she had more to offer.. WC: 259

Calelha had to admit a nice hot sock in water sound really good to all her aching muscles. Dusty made it sound even better when she spoke of herd to help relax her. "Ill take whatever you recommend." she said with a grin. "It all sounds wonderful really."Calelha followed Dusty to the hot pools. has they walked to the pools, Calelha looked around the area. It was a very nice area and peaceful the bird sang in the tree a sweet soft song and the pine trees smelled sweet. This doe know how to pick a place for relaxation. Calelha though to herself. It surprised Calelha to see the steam rising form the pools. Sure she knew that hot might mean steam but she was a little worried about just how hot hot was. Looking into one she could see that bubbles popped around and slashed her muzzle. "Humm…how hot is it like am I going to get burned?" she asked trying to hide her worry behind another smile. She was sure Dusty was not fooled but she still tried to not look as worried as her insides felt. wc:190

 Dusty looked back at the doe that was following her between the pools. She stopped at one and as Calelha leaned down to inspect the pool. Sure the water steamed and bubbled, but it wasn't too bad. Those pools she closed off the best she could. "No need to worry. I test them each morning to make sure they haven't gotten worse." She smiled turning to the pool. "Here let me show you."Without really waiting for Calelha to say a word more. Dusty Rose stepped into the belly deep water. Her skin flickered against her sides as she did, but it always happened when she first steps into a pool. Moving over to one of the sides she looked back at Calelha. "Nice and toasty." The look of bliss flooded Dusty's face before she pulled herself back out and shook droplets everywhere. "It is shallow around the edges if you are looking to lay down and relax. I can also bring you an herbal tea." She offered, as she had some berry tea in stock, but she would need to make a run to a Botanic's garden to pick up some other herbs. "At the moment I have berry tea." WC: 201

It was refreshing for Calelha that Dusty was so understand of her fear. Watching the doe walk into the water and not be burned was a dealt. "Ooo that looks wonderful." She said excited and smiling. Calelha practically skipped over to bubbling steaming pool of water. Stepping into the water one hoof at a time at first and then up to her flanks. It was the most wonderful feeling all her muscles relaxed at once. "Aaaaa" She voiced in total relaxation and comfort while closing her eyes to try and sook in the relaxation. For once her mother had suggested something most wonderful an totally something Calelha could enjoy herself. Dusty offered some berry tea which sounded amazing. "Oh yes berry tea would be great Thank you." She said as she relaxed more into the water. Every muscle singing with delight after such a long trip in the barrens. "Why is this not a much after ever quest?" she said to no one but herself as she laid in the bubbling water. It was a strange feeling have the bubbles pop around her and not floating by her. "So where did such a wonderful idea come form Dusty?" she asked not sure if the doe was still around or not. wc:209

Dusty had fetched some water from the brook nearby and set it atop one of the few heated stones of the spa. It was one place she could heat the water without taking it from a spring itself... She didn't see that as very healthy and they needed all the healthy Nouls they could get to heal the place. So much was lost that they were trying to bring back. "Hmm?" was all that came from her before she realized that she had been asked a question. "Oh that, I had seen many Nouls suffer from strain using their gifts or just traveling. I had thought that maybe there was a way I could help. I found this place and there were a few older nouls here. Asked them what they were doing. They told me relaxing in the hot water. Their old bones were acting up and it eased the pain." She explained as before putting some water into the squat little container to serve to the Doe. "It kinda got the ball rolling to open up a place for all the come to and relax. For now it is just tea and a hot spring soak, but if more come and want to help out. Might put our heads together for other things." Dusty grinned as she seemed to hang near by. "Here is your tea, if you need anything more need only to ask."WC: 237

Calelha sighed as relief washed over her. "Well I totally understand the wonderfulness of this place now." Calelha says as she sinks a little deeper into the water. She had been leery before but she would never again. This was way nicer then she could have dreamed. Dusty sets a small container next to Calelha with the berry tea in it. The sweet warm smell wafts to Calelha nose and before she even tries it she knows it will be devine. Dipping her nose in she taste the wonderful sweet berry tea. "Umm now that just makes your insides feel as wonderful as your outsides." she smiles warmly at the doe. The story on how this place got started made Calelha smile. Dusty really carried about her work and it showed. "Well if you ever need help I would be happy to lend a hoof." Calelha offered even though she had no idea what she could do to help but anything to help others and she was in. "So how long should I stay in here?" She wondered in no real hurry to leave but she wanted to be safe too. This place was so easy for her to get lost in and she could totally see herself falling asleep to the musical sound of the bubbles. wc:217

"I wouldn't suggest falling asleep in there. If you feel like you could really just fall asleep and your limbs feel like loose vines. It's best to come out." Dusty advised as she had laid down not too far from the pool. She herself had fallen asleep in one of the pools to find herself pulled out and being scolded by a couple of other Nouls. Apparently she had almost slipped under the surface completely and drowned. It had not been the greatest of experiences and she wished no one else to have it either. But Calelha had offered to lend her a hoof with the spa. To this Dusty tilted her head. "What magics can you do? I was given Vivfy by the great tree." Dusty inquired casually. "I could always use help with mixing herbs and the like. I only know the few blends that I learned from my mom."That had only been really three kinds. The Berry Tea, a green tea and a tea to help others muscles relax for a time. Though she supposed she knew of one that could help others sleep... Just that making it was dangerous and could cause illness if done wrong. She didn't trust herself that much and hoped that with another trip to the tree in the future she could learn stronger magics.

"Oh my goodness." Calelha came splashing out of the water after Dusty explained the possible danger. Shacking herself at a safe distance as to not get Dusty wet she tried to get as much water off before laying across form Dusty. Calelha did take note that her legs and hoofs did feel a little noddlely and was grateful she had asked before to much longer. But over all she felt miles better then she had before getting into the bubbling water. "That was very enjoyable." "Oh my bestowed gift is fungal." she was not sure if the doe had heard of her gift it was still pretty new but she knew her way around herbs and mushroom's form her botanic mother and father. "My Mother and Father though are both botanic so I have special understand of herbs and small fascination with the medicinal properties of mushrooms." She smiled at Dusty it kind of felt like very impromptu interview but she did not blame the doe; it was her life's work and she could not just have a unhelpful noul stepping in that did not care. Calelha waited for Dusty as she was sure to have to think about Calelha's offer before just accepting. wc:204

"I am glad that it was to your liking." Dusty smiled after the other doe hastily exited the pool to lay near her. Dusty wan't really looking to move, she was comfortable and Calelha was the first to really stay after having a nice soak. It was refreshing to have someone to talk to. And this one was gifted with the Fungal gift, huh? That was interesting, it would make things interesting to have that gift here. Mulling it over, Dusty glanced at Calelha. "More insight on herbs, though my mother was also a Botanic. Never progressed far as her hobby became more flower arrangements then really helping others. Guess flower decoration helps in their own ways." Dusty mused, always had wondered why her mother never went higher. Would have to ask at some point. "Bu yea, more herb insight would be a help. Perhaps even doing herb wraps for wounds and things my magic can't heal completely."Brainstorming, this was more Turtle's thing, but he wasn't here. Most likely the buck was either holed up in his room, or trying to keep Dove from doing something crazy. Or a bit of both if she really knew the twins and they were never too far from each other. "Though I wouldn't ask anyone to stay here unless they really want to, to work that is. Not much happens around these parts so far, most days are quiet. Plenty of adventures to be had." Not that she was trying to discourage the doe from wanting to help her. She just didn't want her to miss out on things as Dusty was doing. She spent so much time trying to get the hot springs cleaned up and looking presentable she had forgotten to just live. "Choices are yours to make after all."WC: 300

Calelha smiled at the Dusty. She really had enjoyed that experience very much and would come back for sure. She would also share this wonderful place you her sister would love it just because she did. But once in the bubbling water would love it for herself. "Flower arrangements are quite beautiful." she nodded in agreement though it was sad when the died taking their beauty with them. Her mother always through her flower arrangements out once the flowers died. Calelha once sat and watched the pile for hours as a small bundle of mushrooms began to find life in the death. It have given her small glimmer of happiness that life was able to form from the death. "Well...Maybe I can travel and bring you herbs form all across Vykeli. At least until you really need help and the place takes off. Then you would have teas from all over strange and wonderous." She said with excitement for Dusty. "Then if you ever need my physical help can be around for that too." It was not much but she was she den nouls all over would come for executive tea and a hot bath. And how exciting would that be for Dusty to have such an exotics place. wc:209

Dusty tilted her head as Calelha spoke of adventuring and bringing back herbs from all over. She had to mull it over, the doe was a Fungal user and would probably do more traveling then she would. Glancing towards the heated pool, as if she could see things in the bubbling water. The idea sounded Fantastic! "That is a wonderful idea. If you can find seeds too, I can find someone who can continue to grow these herbs too." She had heard of a rumor of a Noul who was making an herb garden. "If this place gets off the ground I will need all the help I can get." Dusty chuckled slightly. It was a dream to have the place flourishing like other sections of Homewood. This was just a small section and it would need some work. She wondered if her mother could do some flower arrangements, ones that didn't involve killing the plants. Some that would continue to bloom and live here. The warmth from the pools was almost enough to ward away the cooler temperatures that came with fall to winter. "I have a lot of work to do." She said softly, looking around, ears flicking backwards slightly. This was going to take some doing... WC: 209

Calelha smiled has she watched the doe next to her get excited. Yep she had said the right thing. "That is a great idea. I will have to keep a close eye out for seeds." Then nouls would be able to see where their exotic tea had come form. "And maybe after you have a good garden going maybe the nouls that teacher our young ones will being them here to show them all the different spices of plants a healthy Vykeli could being forth." She was just shooting ideas out but still it was a fun thought all the same. Calelha could imagen it all though; a place for the adult noul to relax and the young ones to learn. Calelha hopped up with the excitement of all the ideas. She did not want to leave Dusty but at the same time she was ready to be of use and help make this does dreams come true. "So where do you want me to start? Should I head out or do you need my help here?" She was full of energy and almost hopping form hoof to hoof waiting for her mission. wc:193
