Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dancer made a little face, *Oh that cat has lots to eat. He's just a pig. With all the fish Crosscurrent has gotten for him and the deer he ate before the storm he should be alright.* Her send was laughter and fun but then pulled back. Now she suddenly felt the need to be sure he was fine. The Fishy she cared for had been thought to be safe in the waters but still she should check. Her eyes looked back the way they came then at Blaze. *I know the jungle. I sort of know these woods. When we are through here I want to go to the beach. Come with if you like ok.* Then she turned back to the task at hand. *Normally I would scare things into Fire Brights jaws. Or he would do the same for me. We can decide what to do once we find something.* Now the send was more business with an undertone of worry for the unknown condition of the Fishy.

Dancer had been lost in thought. Her mind concerned about someone else when Blaze snapped her back to the moment. Instantly she froze where she stood for a heartbeat then lowered to peer through the brush. *I'll move off to the side and ahead of you. Then we can work together to get the kill if one is to be found ok?* She was soon lost in the undergrowth and gone. Now Blaze was left to the forest alone. To experience the smells, sounds and sights on his own until, *And don't touch anything unless you show it to me first.* Her send was teasing at him but still held seriousness to it. She didn't want to watch him be sick or something worse.

Dancer scoffed with a laughing tone, *And what would want to touch you?* That was just fun. She knew Blaze a bit better than that and knew his heart was good. As she skirted along the ground blue eyes watched for something anything. She took slow deep breaths to take in smells as she moved. Then she saw it. It was a wild tusk pig. Sending the image to Blaze of the animal she said, *These tusk hogs are strong. I know I can't keep one still. If I grab it by the head I can keep it from ripping me to bits but it will run and take me along.* After a bit came her last thought, *What do you wnt to do?*

"Oh no", Dancer thought. Was everyone going to treat her differently knowing she was the healer? She didn't want that. She didn't feel special for it nor did she want any special treatment. More to think about at another time. Thinking about everything at once was often Dancers problem out on a hunt. Many times her stomach might have gone empty were it not for Fire Bright. *You take care as well Blaze. These creatures might do anything. It will run or it will fight. I think a vein in the throat would work if you can hit it. It will lift it's head soon. Strike then, when it looks my way.* Not long after that Dancer put her animal sounds to work making grunting sounds. Had they not been hunting Blaze might have laughed to see and hear her. The noise was enough to make the beast lift its head and look around for a moment.

Dancer leaped happily from her hiding spot with a roar. "RRROOOOAAARRRRR Blaze you did it!" For the moment the hog turned on Blaze she was scared for his life but since he was fine and all went well she was overjoyed. Dancer helped Blaze to his feet and hugged him tight. "You have brought us our first kill worth talking about. Meat for the tribe. Thank you so much my friend." She laughed then looked him in the eyes. "I'm so glad neither one of us listens to the other at times." As the wind picked up around them Dancer never noticed. She herself did a happy dance around the wonderful meal they would get to enjoy this eve. "I will have to make up the Dance of Blaze the hunter with the touch of fire!" She giggled as she glided around the slain beast with the same delight and grace she had the night Blaze first saw her dance.

Dancer giggled a bit then also looked at the sky. "It's going to rain more?" Her tone fell to the ground like the leaves that dropped off the trees. Then she cast her eyes to the dead animal with a sigh. "Don't you think the wolf riders will want any of the innards? The heart and liver are prized parts to feed on for most animals. We really should see what they might want. As for me I want any meat I eat cooked first." She chuckled as she shrugged and lifted the pigs hind legs. "You get the front and we will get it back somehow." Then she frowned deeply. "I guess I have to wait to find Fire Bright." The frustration of not finding him and sadness that she must leave him showing clearly on her face.

Dancer heaved a sigh again as she set the pig down. "Very well. Can you open it up? I have been working on a spear but it's in my own cave and I think Savith has the only real cutting tool in the group." She would do the messy job without protest. It was part of the way they lived and nothing to be squeamish about. "If my cat comes I will have to send him back into the woods if the storm is as strong as it has been." She knelt down by the hog and waited to see if Blaze could open up the beast.

Dancers face winced at the send. Her mind still touchy to his. She knew he didn't ever mean to hurt her that way and his mind was like him, a bit rough around the edges at times. Then she gave him a grinning little shake of her head. "I'm not going into the woods with you anymore. Every time I do something happens to you." Chuckling she winked at him and looked at the wound. "I will do what I can to help Blaze. Chances are good that it won't be much." Lightly Dancer placed a hand over the rip in his leg. It wasn't to deep and would heal fine so long as it was kept clean and such. Now that Dancer knew what called inside her she let the feeling take her. Blue eyes slipped shut and Blaze could feel a warming sensation around her hand and into his leg. If he watched he would see the wound stop it's bleeding. The flesh was still cut and needed tending but at least the blood was done with. When she lifted her hand from his leg Dancer went from kneeling to sitting. Every healing seemed to drain her so much and one that went very well made her want to sleep. She knew she mustn't and fought to keep awake. "I guess we will have to take it back like this." Her voice clearly told the story of how much healing affected her. It was soft and slow, like waking from a dream. The rain started to plop down on them slowly and Dancer sighed. The Cat Elf knew this wasn't good and poor Blaze was stuck trying to figure out what to do. *I'm..... I'm sorry for being so much trouble Blaze.* Her send was indeed sorry for what was now his plight. Stay with Dancer through the storm till she was good enough to make it back, Leave the meat and take her back or take the meal back and leave her there. That would be her choice but she knew Blaze better then that. He would never abandon her.
