Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sharp needle like teeth chewed with great enthusiasm on a bone that had been attached to his breakfast. The meat having been devoured in earnest earlier that left only the white bone that was splintering in places so that he could get to the marrow within. A small growl echoed from his throat as he chewed, it was only when the larger, to his pup size, wolf appeared close to his mother's den, did RedBadger stop and leave the bone where he had been laying. The dirt was well shifted from his moving and coated his belly in clumps and dustings. With a good shake of his coat dislodged most of the mess though his white markers would need a bath later.

"Desert Sand!" RedBadger dashed to the Dire and plopped before him. "What we going to do today?"

Plume tail dusted the ground behind him as he waited to hear. While this was just a day of shadowing the Dire, he hoped that they could do something exciting. RedBadger was still young and there were many places he could go when older, but he thought to start with Healing. It could be exciting!

RedBadger stared up at the larger Dire as he spoke of showing him what he did on a daily basis. While he didn't know what he was getting himself into, but the young Baserker was up for any game that his elder could throw at him. Tail wagging behind him, Badger gave one last look behind him at his den, his home that he shared with his mother and sister. But he was about to start a grand adventure, not time for second thoughts.

"Into the wilds!" Redbadger voiced behind Desert Sand as he crouched and took off after the sandy colored dire. "Is your job always out here in the wilds?" he asked as he followed in quick strides.

Redbadger had spent a good few nights sitting up and watching the stars thinking of what he might want to be when he was older. While it was not common thoughts to pups, at least to his knowing to wonder. His mother was a warrior that protected the pack and his sister... She had her own ideas of what she wanted to be, mostly she tried terrorizing him, but he would get her back... In his own ways. With a grin on his muzzle as he thought of Voidsight missing out on the fun, he kept close to Desert Sand's heels. He didn't want to miss a thing of what was going to happen today.

RedBadger slowed a little bit, to at least a trot beside the larger healer. Watching Desert Sand more then where he was going, Badger stumbled slightly as he tripped over something, but caught himself and carried on. Unharmed as it was mostly over his own large paws, he watched as Sand breathed in when they were away from the others. Perplexed he tilting his head before Sand stopped.

Ears twitching as he listened, Badger took things in like water to sponge moss. He glanced at the 'weed' that was being talked about and that it was called Fleabane. Tilting his head he stepped forward to get a whiff of the plant before sneezing. This tossing him back onto his rump in a comical fashion.

"Are fleas that common that we need a plant to get them to go away?" he asked, not really having a comment of Sand's brother. He had never met Desert Storm, not up close anyways. "Also, you have to really get all your herbs by yourself? I thought there were others in the pack that helps." To this he tilted his head to one side, perhaps he had been wrong. But there had to be someone, when all the healers were dealing with sick and injured and not a one could be spared to get supplies..

RedBadger looked back at the Fleabane plant, wondering if he should collect a bit after the lessons were done to take home. Put some around his mom's and sister's beds. He wouldn't want them to get fleas.... Whatever they were... Certainly sounded nasty to say the least.
