Destin nods, relieved. He then looks up at the sky and gasps. "Oh no! I should be getting back to camp!" He scrambles to his paws and shifts, grabbing his pouch. "If Fabine finds out I left camp for so long, and alone! "He shakes his head and then smiles warmly at Aya. "I'll see you around okay??"

Fabine shrugs . "Many in the Broms feel that way too. However you're wrong. Sacha especially is the biggest threat to our group. She's only been leader a shirt while, yet I haven't seen the Rabins so...rallied. they're dangerous despite their weakness. And the fact that you couldn't be bothered to kill their leader just proves my point. She could easily come and kill us now while we're on her side of the river, even while injured. She's hot headed and doesn't think through decisions like I do."

@Fionraella@BeCreative

Selena looked down when Sacha said she owed her. She knew what she wanted to say. What she wanted to ask. But she couldn't. Not now. Not yet.
"I-I'll hold onto that favour for now," She said eventually, "Now come on, let's get back. I don't trust Fabine enough to just leave."
She turned away and started to make her way back to camp, trying to hide the expression of confusion and anxiety on her face. Sacha couldn't find out. How would she react, knowing that Selena liked her like that?

Evelyn had finally managed to make her way out of Fabine's tent, looking around. She wanted to find Destin and talk to him. He was always a help in this situation. She made her way over to Paisley, wondering if the girl might know where the healer had gone.
"Hey Pais, do you know where Destin is? I wanted to talk to him about something, and I can't seem to find him," She said, before noticing the girls cut, "Wow, what happened? Was their a fight or something?"
The cut didn't look too bad, but it was bleeding a lot.

Sacha nods and puts her bow across her quiver. "I should hope youd save it for something important. I dont give out favors easily." She sighs, putting her hand on her shoulder to dull the pain. "I'll need Aya to see how bad the injury is. Was she in camp when you left?"

Because you're the pinnacle of clear desicion making, Jayden thought to himself. He listens to Fabine quietly before repyling, "And yet she didn't kill us. Neither did Selena, when she very well could have. We just need to be careful and make sure we pay attention to our side of the border now." Jayden looks expectedly at Fabine. "You know, since Paisley, you, and I just tresspassed and attacked their members?" He knew trying to reason with Fabine was a lost cause, but that didn't stop him from trying. He knew he had a point. Whether Fabine realized it wasn't his problem.

Aya nods at a Destin's worry realises that she too should be getting back. She stands up and smiles in farewell. "It was lovely to meet you, Destin! Truly, it was. I can't wait to see you again!" Before she headed off she remembered what she'd actually came to do and quickly picked some of the same leaves Destin had chosen earlier. With that done she crosses the river to head home.

Still seeing no sign of anyone, Marik shifted for just a moment and sniffed the air. Among the fresh scents of the trees he could hint just a faint whiff of rabbit blood and someone unfamiliar. It seemed someone was nearby. There was nothing surprising in that. There were often visitors to the forest, or it could be that character John who stuck around. Either way it was worth an investigation. He shifted back and headed in the direction the scent had come from.

Whether Fabine realized it wasn't his problem.

Fabine gives Jayden a long look as he stops. "You don't know the situation when we got there, now do we Jayden?" He asks calmly. "We came across Sacha and Paisley fighting, and that's what we saw. To speculate who was in the wrong is not the point here. The point is, we came across the situation and acted as I saw would be the best decision. Now whether or not you agree with how I acted is not my concern. If this situation happens again and you do not, or choose to not follow orders, you will be kicked out of the Broms for insubordination. Am I clear?"

Aya nods at a Destin's worry realises that she too should be getting back. She stands up and smiles in farewell. "It was lovely to meet you, Destin! Truly, it was. I can't wait to see you again!" Before she headed off she remembered what she'd actually came to do and quickly picked some of the same leaves Destin had chosen earlier. With that done she crosses the river to head home.

Destin watches her go across the river, for some reason longing to go after her. He sighs softly and picks his dagger off the ground and sticks it in his pouch before heading back to the Brom camp. Knowing his luck, Fabine or someone else, would have noticed him gone and be there ready to scold him, or worse, punish him, for not doing his healerly duties. He quickens his pace a bit, thinking back to his time with Aya. He felt some sort of connection towards her, and wished they had been able to get to know each other better. She sure didn't seem like the Rabins Fabine had always described. She seemed so nice and sweet.

Nadia made sure to be as quiet as possible. She didn't trust a majority of the shifters that lived alongside her. They were unruly, rude, and downright nasty to deal with sometimes. That's not to say she was perfect, but it annoyed her to have to deal with them.
She nears her trap and smirks at the sight. A decently sized rabbit had gotten entangled and she pulls her knife out of her boot to put it out of it's misery. After she did so, she cut it out carefully as to not damage the meat or fur. The blood dripped down onto the forest floor and she lifted it up by i's hindlegs. She wiped the blood off onto her pants and she turns to head back to her bag.

@Fionraella

Selena shook her head.
"No, she went out to collect herbs last time I checked. I've no idea hoe long she will be. I can help you put a bandage on it if you want?" She said, her mind still in other places.
What if she kicks me out when she finds out I'm gay? What if she just ignores me? Should I even tell her? she thought, her mind racing at one hundred miles an hour, But if I don't tell her, how will I ever be able to ask her out. Should I even ask her out. What do I do?

@Fionraella@BeCreative

Selena looked down when Sacha said she owed her. She knew what she wanted to say. What she wanted to ask. But she couldn't. Not now. Not yet.

The cut didn't look too bad, but it was bleeding a lot.

Paisley smirked as she turned around to the girl, "I was just wondering the same thing." She shrugged with ther good shoulder, obviously not to upset with the situation, "You know Destin, always chasing butterflies and rainbows. He's never where he is suppose to be." She chuckled and leaned up against the the post of the healers tent, "I got in a fight with Sasha." She was about to tell about the boy she saved but something told her not to mention it. A wolfishly grin spread across her face, "You're boyfriend was there. He had Jayden with him."

Sacha nods. "Glad she's going getting more supplies at least." She glances at the shoulder. "I dunno. I'd say yes, but if Aya needs to add some herbs or something to it so it doesn't get infected I don't want to make her job any harder on her." She exhales and looks up at the small smoke trails from the camp up ahead. "At least we're getting home before it gets dark." She mutters, glancing over her should to make sure the two Broms weren't planning some sneak attack on them.

Aya's own thoughts kept returning to Destin as well, but particularly to what he had said about the Broms. There was no way someone as kind as him could be in a group like the Rabins had described to her so many times. Then there was what he had said about Sacha and the past leader of the Broms. It seemed entirely unlikely but... Well, you could never be sure without some kind of confirmation. She simply would have a lot of questions to ask her leader when she got back. Unknown to her, she was nearing Sacha and Selena.

Destin reaches the Brom camp and quickly slips inside, hoping to make it to his tent before anyone noticed that he'd been missing. His mind runs through the list of what he had to do with the herbs he'd gathered. Dry them out, mash them into a poultice, let the poultice sit in the sun for three days, add three drops of water, dry out again, and then mix with three other herbs. It was complicated, but Destin knew how important this particular herb was, and he wasn't going to mess it up like last time.

"At what point did I not follow orders? I would have gotten the bow out of her hands if Selena hadn't appeared and pressed her knife against your neck." Jayden challenges, lashing his tail in frustration. Last time I checked we left camp to purposefully attack someone. Don't act all superior with me as if that wasn't your goal, Jayden thinks to himself. I'm not the one trying to prove something to a girl.
Jayden pulls himself from his thoughts and returns his attention to Fabine. "I did what you told me, regardless of how I saw the situation. Besides, you wanted to kill Sacha. You wanted that honor. So shouldn't you be glad I didn't want to? So you could have your moment?" He muses, looking up at his leader.

@BeCreative

Evelyns eyes widened at that. Her heart skipped a beat.
"Fabine was fighting?" She said, taking a moment to process it, "When I said he should do something, I didn't mean for him to fight the Rabins leader."
She put a hand to her head, a look of worry on her face.
"What if he gets hurt? What if he gets killed? Oh god, this is all my fault. Why did I argue with him? What if he hates me because he got hurt?" She said rapidly, hyperventilating and turning back to Paisley, "Where is he?"

Marik knew he was closer to the origin of the scent but still could not hear anything. He shifted again and could tell it was close. He travelled forward, as quietly as a bear could manage, until he could just spot the remains of what appeared to be a rabbit snare in the distance. He could not yet see Nadia.

"You should have gone faster." Fabine snaps, getting irritated with his brawler. "You act like I'm some asshole for wanting the Rabin leader dead. That I'm not thinking straight." He huffs at the last comment. "Maiming is different than killing. And you were being insubordinate and questioning my orders." He lifts his chin a little with a smirk. "Trust me Jayden, I know when someone under me is trying to make a point, and you're going about it all wrong."

@Fionraella@Hawksnest565

Just tell her. Just get it over and done with. Just say it. I'm gay. It's two words she thought to herself, taking a deep breath and turning to Sacha.
"Sacha, I need to tell you this. I'm-" She started to say, before seeing Aya out of the corner of her eye, "Glad you said that, because it looks like Aya is just arriving back."
God damn it! she thought, All you had to do was tell her. Stupid stupid stupid girl.

Sacha raises an eyebrow at Selena's wording but doesn't comment as she turns to see their leader. She signs in relief. "Hey Aya!" She waves with her good arm trying to get the healer's attention. "Good eye Selena." She praises before making her way to their leader, completely unaware of whatever Selena was struggling with.

Even though it was sort of gross, Paisley layed her bloodied hand on Evelyn's shoulder in an attempt to calm the stressed girl, "Breathe Evelyn. He was by the river wen I last saw him. He was perfectly fine. Plus he had Jayden with him so he wasn't alone." She smirked at the girl, trying to lighten the mood, "You know he wouldn't just roll over and die. He's like you in that regard." She was momentarily distracted by the sound of rustling in the the healers tent and she shook her head, "And he returns."
