✧･ﾟ━ at the call for someone to attack him, shiloh hesitated. she'd never fought in this new body before, neither had she ever fought a real battle before in either of her lives. so, she figured she would watch from a distance, silently praying to whatever higher powers there were that no major injuries would occur. not that it would be intentional, but accidents did happen.

✧･ﾟ━ shiloh nodded at archi's remark about the poultice. the canine understood that her antics were peculiar, and definitely dangerous, considering that she'd just injured herself, yet, again, she did it for her own usefullness. well, she supposed it made more sense when she was in a position where the clan was counting on her, but still, she needed this activity to distract her from reality.

the buttercup hued canid decided it wouldn't hurt to hold off on the experimentation and talk to archi, so she wiped the dollop off her claw on the side of the bowl she'd been using to make it and hopped off her chair. the chair fell with a crash and shiloh winced, sheepishly meeting the admiral's gaze.

'i assume you're doing okay since returning?'

she wanted to spill everything, yet she knew it would be unorthodox to do so before her leader. yet, she felt she could trust the feline enough to tell some of the truth, despite the formality of the conversation. so shiloh took a deep breath, and spoke.

"i wish i could say yes, but it p-pains me to say i can't," she began softly, but gained volume as she continued, "i miss my children and i miss my friends so dearly. everything was finally coming together in the short time before i... left." shiloh wouldn't spare the details, but a few tears sliding down her white-speckled face would be enough to symbolize what had happened. the week of pain before her death was too much of a scar on her soul to speak of it. "it just feels like i was given a better life, and then it was snatched out of my paws before i knew it." she wasn't sure if she had made the right choice to open up, but she'd already done it anyway.

✧･ﾟ━ shiloh and frightfur had been assigned to visit shadow veil, to see if they need any assistance with festivities. as custom, shiloh had put together a gift basket for the ally, filled with herbs, treats, and, as a personal touch, the canine had put in a few of her new poultices she'd made, labelled with their names and what they did. to tie it all together, she'd tied a white bow around the basket's handle.

the newly returned fem hadn't visited any of the other clans since her return, so her usual sorrowful gaze was replaced with inquiry and slight joy. many moons ago she'd been an ambassador to a few of the rift's allies at that time, but she wasn't sure if this clan had been an ally that long ago. so, as mentioned before, her curiosity would show, though her tail still hung low.

the buttercup hued canid arrived at the border, beckoning frightfur with her tail. then, she would take a seat and call out, "hello? this is shiloh alexander and frightfur seraphim of the rift. we have gifts, and we would also like to assist you in any festivities you may be hosting." hopefully that was what to say, though she couldn't think of another way to explain their visit.

✧･ﾟ━ shiloh nodded, pleased to be going with archi, for she had begun to trust and befriend the feline. "it would be a pleasure."

✧･ﾟ━ despite recent events, shiloh was feeling better than she thought she would. of course, she wouldn't say she was happy, but sometimes there were moments she would feel fine. she had others to support her, and those who had seen her returning fiasco willingly forgave her. but, when she was feeling down, she still felt the need to distract herself from her past, and this came in the form of studying medicine or reading.

on this particular evening the buttercup canine could be found on her white fleece blanket in her room, leaning against the wall with a book on the floor in front of her. her glowing green gaze shifted from side to side on the page, corresponding with the claw that traced the words. reading was like traveling to a different place, but without the actual journey. though the feeling wouldn't remain much long after, it brought joy to her whenever she sat down with a book, whereas studying herbs and doing experiments was more of a distraction, though she still loved it so.
