the cold air rolled over thin shoulder blades pressed tightly together as he stepped out into the morning that bloodclan greeted with a ferocity. the racket of tyros sparring and mentors guiding already a faint buzz in the background of his mind, tucked away as if unimportant to the task he was about to start at hand. a milky drift encompassed his mind as he tilted his cranium this way and that to better determine his surroundings;
right, back in the church, no change.
every night as the stars twinkled and blinked their ethereal imploring gazes, he always dreamt he was back in the bloodhouse, safe with the familiar peeling red wallpaper, the scent of water-logged floorboards that he now missed and found comforting. but he was here, the morning sun already burning with a vengeance, to better burn off the morning mist that reside within church walls and windows.
as he stood, his paws hitting concrete, a finally familiar sensation, he picked up the herbs that lay by his side. time to find aurora, his mind wandered. it was time they found a place to better store and cultivate such herbs, and it was difficult to do with just one person. and while they were at it, he may as well receive some more mentoring advice from her, whether about the correct way to apply herbal remedies, create them, or simply review them.
