Dyname remained quietly within the little nest of leaves Lonán had made for her. The pain had settled deep into her ribs now, a persistent ache that followed every breath and movement alike. She did her best not to draw attention to it, her attention remaining fixed instead on Lonán and his mother.

She found herself staring longer than what was probably polite, there was something comforting about it, something she missed. For all the strength Dyname carried herself with, she was still only a pup who missed her family terribly. When Lyra began speaking directly to her, Dyname forced herself to focus. The mention of finding her sister immediately captured her attention, ears perking forward and some of the exhaustion fading from her gaze.

Her name is Ampoule, she answered quickly. She's...mostly white with some brown, we lived by the ocean...right on it actually not at all like her in fact, but they were sisters nonetheless. The mention of healers, earned a much different reaction dark ears falling back in reluctance a natural response every child felt when medicine was being discussed. Besides, they didn't know it but she was a nymph, did nymphs even need medicine or would time prove the best remedy?

...I can wait until after we find her. there was no one better to doctor her than another nymph, even though to them it was surely an unreasonable suggestion. Her dual toned gaze shifted back to Lonan, offering a small smile at his comment, You did, she mused softly. But then...

Mutton?

She looked between them both,

What is mutton?
