Always Work To Do |Clan Char, Naurorod

[Kender Bard]

Allura let out her breath as she slipped back inside her healer's hut and put away the rest of the linen bandages that she had left over after patching up a clumsy young scout who was trying to show off with a sword and cut his hand open.

"I swear, between the young, hot bloods and the sudden increase in pregnant women, I've hardly had time to sit down," Allura grumbled.

[Devon]

Ryuk entered the hut after he was done chastising the scout for being so stupid. After all, none of them were better than he was and he hadn't cut himself accidentally since he was a boy.

"Well if you want, I can keep people out for a little while," Ryuk said having heard what she said aloud.

[Northen Light36]

Aideen grinned at Ryuk as he entered the hut. She always found the man highly amusing, in a sweet sort of way. "But what would the silly boys do after they hurt theirselves if you chase them away from getting help?" she asked. "Allura, I can take over for a while if you'd like to go take a walk or catch a nap or something."

[Kender Bard]

"I dont' know what to do with myself when I have free time," Allura snorted. "It's been so long."

Which wasn't true... Sometimes she gave sermons or prayed to herself, or did as Aideen suggested, or snuggled up with Ryuk somewhere.

Outside the tent, she heard a sharp feminine yell and there was a brief flash that cued fire being slung about. "Sounds like Charminei has returned from wherever she went this morning," Allura announced. The Elder was incredibly cranky these days.

[Devon]

Ryuk looked to Aideen and smirked, "Those boys can do what I did when I was a lad, I chewed up my own herb and put it on my wound myself. They just like being spoiled by attractive healers."

He idly tapped the hilt of one of his daggers as he heard the commotion that Charminei was causing outside. "Want me to see what she's doing out there?"

[Northen Light36]

"Oh forces," Aideen sighed. "Any guesses on who or what has upset her today?" She shook her head then touched her Mind sign. She wasn't getting her wings burnt by getting too close while Charminei was tossing fire around, burnt feathers stank. ~Charminei? What's the matter?~ she asked, her 'voice' soft and gentle. ~Please don't set anyone on fire, no matter how tempting. Allura needs a break, not more work today.~

[Kender Bard]

"Who knows, you know how some pregnant women can be," Allura said as she sat down in a cool corner of her tent. "She's not the only one snapping at people, just one of the worse in the clan."

~Sloppy work,~ was Charminei's terse reply. ~Forces but the last thing I need to be doing is cleaning up the mistakes of idiots.~

[Devon]

Ryuk sat down in the corner beside Allura, motioning for her to turn her back towards him slightly so he could massage her shoulders. "Well it isn't like you can really tell the Elder to pipe down," Ryuk said with a small smirk. "You're doing good though, just don't be afraid to take a break."

[Northen Light36]

~So make the idiots clean it up,~ Aideen replied. Outloud she said, "I think I can handle this, or at least get her calm enough not to set the clan ablaze." Walking out of the hut, she glanced around for Charminei.

[Kender Bard]

Charminei stood with her arms crossed, glaring at the retreating backs of some clanmates. She hadn't done serious damage; the only sign of her fiery outburst was a bit of scrubby grass smoldering nearby. "Idiots!" she called back after them.

[Northen Light36]

Aideen chuckled. "Now what did those poor fools do to deserve your fury, Charminei?" she asked, amused.

[Kender Bard]

"Nearly let some of our horses escape," Charminei groused. "I went to put Lars with the rest of them.. not a soul was watching over them. The morons were too busy playing dice."

[Northen Light36]

"Well, that's unfortunate, but no harm done right? And I'm sure you've terrified them into never doing it again," Aideen pointed out. "Come on, come with me and I'll make you a cup of tea and you can tell me where you've been all morning. Getting stressed and angry isn't good for you or the little one."

[Kender Bard]

Charminei had nodded to the suggestion of tea but at Aideen's admonishment, Charminei curled her hands into balls and the smoldering grass burst into a little bonfire instead. She wordlessly snarled. "Who cares?!"

[Northen Light36]

Aideen took half a step back, but crossed her arms and frowned at Charminei. "I do," she said flatly. "And even if you've decided you don't care about your baby, you should at least care about your own health!"

Ann walked up, looking for Aideen but stopped a slight distance away when she saw the two women, waiting to see if this would need her to meddle in or not.
