1x1 between Alpha* and Daisy!

[Alpha*]

The silver cat is quiet as he moves around the medicine den; Thankfully the herbs and remedies and all are in reach and organized, and he only has to move for those who are the worst. It only takes until noon for the healing to be done- as he had taught a few of the to-be's to be his legs.

Soon he is back in his nest, half curled. "Ice?" Is murmured, "I'm glad I have you. "

[Lemon Tea Rain]

"I'm glad that I have you too," Ice responded, licking Fallenrains' cheek fondly. "Even if you keep refusing to rest properly," he joked.
~~
With the healing done, Kipsa was finally free to leave Snowbird's side and go back to settling in the main cavern, stomach growling hungrily as she groomed through her thick fur.

[Alpha*]

Bowen had finally given in to the urge to hunt... well halfway. Rather than go after the attackers as he so wants to the melanistic lynx hunts for food. With most of the Tribe too injured, or just not skilled, in hunting he takes it onto himself to provide. He enters the cavern with a large mountain sheep being drug in his jaws. Leaving it, he exits and returns twice more; once with a whole warren of rabbits, and then with a mountain goat and her kid. He sits down, tired, for a minute.

FallenRains offers a rough purr; "They need me." Is his explanation, before finishing curling in his nest with another wince and a sharp inhale."Ice... are you sure you're alright? You aren't hurt?"

[Lemon Tea Rain]

Ice stared at him a long moment, inspecting his gaze, before letting out a quiet sigh. Not wanting to sink into a habit of lying to his mate, he responded "There's only one thing of note, and it's not.. causing me much issue." He offered a tentative smile. "If you can't see it, it's clearly not too bad, right? I can talk to Snowbird about it once everyone's fully treated and the herbs are completely restocked."
--
Kipsa sat and watched Bowen busily disappear and reappear through the entrance, each time with a more impressive haul. "If you keep hunting, you're going to overfeed the tribe." She joked in their native tongue as she walked across and sat down beside him. "Their stomachs are far smaller than ours."

[Alpha*]

He pauses just before exiting again, one front foot raised, he turns back to the she-cat, blinks. "I ... forgot." Is admitted shyly, "i am angry. So I hunted." He blinks at the other lynx warmly. "I thought they would be hungry." Bowen smiles over at her, "I apologize. " He has a sort of questionable pride about the kills, "just didn't think the hurt would heal without eating. The silver one does not eat well, so he does not eat."

--

FallenRains blinks slowly, "I can't see anything. " He offers a shuttering breath, nervous about the reaction his words would recieve; "um, but you should let me tend it. There's still many herbs left, I felt them. Please, if not me, then Snowbird, Kipsa, Bowen... someone..."

[Lemon Tea Rain]

"Well, I suppose you are right on that front." Kipsa responded, in regards to not healing without eating. "Here, sit, rest, eat something with me. Then I'll join you in hunt." She gestured to the spot beside her, smiling. "We can even spar, if you'd like - it's been far too long since I've been able to do that with someone it wouldn't hurt."
--
"It's alright, it's not necessary." Ice responded, warm but firm. "The tribe will need those herbs if they want to stop the things scarring, and for the to-bes' health." He settled down beside Fallenrains. "I'll be alright, my love."

[Alpha*]

"You are just as important as they are." He insists softly, sort of greatful that his comment regarding his health had gone over the others head. "I will be checking daily for infection. " is decided, relaxing around his mate, tired but comforted. "Now... what did I miss?"

--

Bowen smiles a crooked smile and takes a seat next to the she-lynx. He pulls a pair of rabbits closer to then and bends to eating, "I'd like to hunt." Is agreed, "however, I'm not sure it would be wise to fight, now."

[Lemon Tea Rain]

Ice gives a satisfied nod, happy with the compromise. "You haven't really missed much - is there anything in particular you're interested in?" He asked. "Most is just daily stuff, I suppose."
~~
"That's fair. Bones ache, anger is around - I respect not taking the risk." Kipsa responded, settling down to eat the rabbit.

[Alpha*]

FallenRains is quiet a moment, thinking. " I've been approached by some of the tribe," Is begun cautiously, "they believe that I've twisted you. They demand I sever ties with you. And that I leave."

--

Bowen nods, he takes a bite of the rabbit he's claimed as his own. "So, Alpha Kipsa, are you feeling better about your new calling?"

[Lemon Tea Rain]

"They're wrong." Ice responded firmly. "My actions are my own and my loyalties mine to decide, not ones chosen by outside influence - in the nicest way, I mean." His tail tip twitches somewhat, but he quietly explains "I sealed my fate as a traitor in their eyes the moment I fell for someone outside the tribe. And... They're right in that regard. My loyalties have changed. If you were to leave and sever ties, I... I still wouldn't stay put here, I don't think so now."

He swallowed hard; thinking about his decisions still brought a lump of guilt to his throat. "Who's been bothering you about this?"
--
"I am," Kipsa flashed him a smile. "I wish you'd been able to see the ceremony - I met the first of our kind. I'm certain this path is the one that will bring fortune on us all."
