TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Hearing the familiar voice of Irene, she gave a gentle smile her way. It was odd to her how she trusted her to finish up. After all, she wasn't at all in a medic position. To have the head medic trust her though was quite nice. It showed that she wasn't quite worthless to everyone after all.

"Thank you, Irene. Do you have anything I can use to cover up the wound and wrap it? I just used a cabbage leaf and some vines, but I'm unsure if it will keep in place. It may also attract unwanted insects," Ella asked and explained. It was true, the smell of cabbage could attract insects that could nest in her wound. Something she didn't want at all.

The fact that she actually managed to help at all made her feel better. She knew Irene must have had quite a few patients. So, she made sure to help her whenever she could. Maybe she could also drop off some of the herbs she had been gathering, and let her know about the herb garden she had been making for her weekly task. Every little bit counted after all.

//It's perfectly fine!

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Okay, enough was enough. The bitter catsune had been emotionally and verbally hurting people long enough. The feline was used to taking such things from people, but hurting others in that way? That was just unacceptable. Even with her hatred for confrontation, she knew this had to be dealt with.

"Enough Tavi," Ella said with a hint of warning in her tone. This was a small start to her breaking point. Being she had suffered so much punishment in her life she was bound to have it. She was going to stand up for people. She was going to do what was right for once instead of saying nothing against the paladin.

"As much as I've tried to help you, you won't listen. If you want respect you have to earn it. Earning it means actually caring about yourself and others, and doing the best you can. You're hatred and bitterness towards everyone will just hinder yourself from achieving what you want," the feline started showing an unusual amount of anger. It wasn't pure fury, but it was enough to know that she wasn't happy with the catsune. "Kady has done nothing wrong to you. I understand being a little bitter towards Aleksei, but this is getting ridiculous. You're affecting the entire clan, and if this keeps up you will probably be demoted again. Being that rank is so important to you, do you want to end up losing the rank of paladin?" she continued asking a really honest question. "Now, unless you are going to be helpful instead of harmful, I would recommend leaving her be while she heals," Ella finished putting herself between the medic, Kady, and Tavi. At this point she knew it was possible that Tavi would lash out. So, to be precautionary she put herself in harm's way.

With her green hues slightly narrowed, he looked directly into Tavi's eyes. Usually she hated confrontation. Usually she hated being against someone. This constant bickering and bitterness though had to stop. Though it was never directed towards her, it was directed towards her clanmates. People she truly cared about as much as Tavi. So, she wasn't going to stand by idle any longer. She spoke up, and now she would take whatever came next.

//This was quite interesting to write since Ella never really gets angry. This should be interesting, especially if she hits her true breaking point.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella gave a small nod as she looked at the old, abandoned house. Being she never liked the cold she wouldn't choose this spot to inhabit. That and the place she chose was the enchanted forest, but in a place away from camp. Not to far to consider it unsafe, but not to close to the bustling people. It was quiet, and she had plenty of space to plant, and to do make other improvements if she chose to do so.

Green hues looking over at the clouded feline, she studied her face for her expression. She definitely seemed to be a little sad, and maybe a bit agitated. It seemed as though she didn't quite remember what she wanted to. If she was up for it, maybe they could go inside? Well, it it was safe of course.

"Do you think it would be safe to go inside?" Ella asked keeping polite as always. She wasn't sure if Jetta even wanted to go inside. Judging from her expression there could be memories in there she didn't want to remember. It wouldn't be quite that uncommon given she was already kind of upset just by looking at the house. It could do more harm then good going inside.

Deciding it was up to her, the flower crowned feline waited patiently for her response.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Speaking of camp, after the other feline had left to the old camp she had made her way to the clan garden. So far she had worked on it enough to have both the ally and the BlizzardClan herb gardens done. She was quite proud of herself at how far she had come along with it. She also had some help from her clanmates, and surely would give them credit for it. She never was one to take credit for herself.

At the moment Wildyonder had arrived in camp she had been working on planting one of the willow trees near a small part of the pond. The scenery and placement for the willow was honestly perfect. She was quite excited on how things were turning out. During her free time she had worked on flower beds, picking up rocks near finished flower beds and lining the trails, finishing the herb gardens, and planted one of the young oak trees. Everything was quite well done too which made it so much better.

Noticing the tabby nearby with a couple of others, she was the next to make her way over. Canoris was right, he did seem really confused. She was also right on the stench coming from the other male. She didn't say anything though, and proceeded to look at the confused feline instead.

"Is everything okay?" Ella asked as she stood nearby though kept a respectful distance from everyone. She didn't point out the obvious like the other two. She figured it was already obvious to him too. Instead she asked if something was wrong. Maybe with her question she could figure out a way to help him.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Hearing of Irene's tea party, the feline didn't hesitate to go. She actually really liked the idea of the event. She may have not been there for the recommendation, but that didn't mean she couldn't find it to be a good idea. With that said, the flower crowned female made her way over to Irene smiling softly at her.

"Hello, Irene, how are you?" Ella asked deciding that small talk would be best. That and she didn't have many conversation starters. Being as shy as she was, she didn't really approach people often. Then only time she really did was when someone needed help with something. That or if something was wrong. So, to have a possibly pleasant conversation was quite refreshing for her.

Glancing around at everything, she quickly took note to get some of the mint tea later. She wouldn't wait terribly long though as she didn't want it to run out. Mint flavored black tea was her personal favorite. She had grown fond of how it awakened her senses nearly immediately. That and how refreshing and earthy the actual taste was.

Looking back at Irene, she also made a mental note to offer her help if she needed it.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella tried her hardest not to smile in amusement when Rosemont greeted them. It seemed as though being proper wasn't entirely his thing. The fact he made the effort, even if it was awkward, was kind of interesting. The flower crowned feline made being proper look effortless. So, to see someone try and not quite get it was quite odd to her.

Ella smiled gently at Rosemont as he asked for help. Before she could even open her mouth though she heard a familiar voice approaching. She believed his name was Michael. She could be wrong as sometimes her memory wasn't the best. Judging from him looking around, and his shy manner it seemed as though he was on the same boat as Rosemont.

"Hello, Michael," the female greeted smiling softly at him as well. When he asked her where to start though she gave it a little bit of thought. "Well, we have different types of tea if you wish to try it. We also have water, pastries, and sandwiches too if tea isn't appetizing," she said deciding to give him all of the options. Being how she grew up, she had grown to love quite a few types of tea. Earl gray, herbal raspberry, regular black tea, mint black tea, and quite a few other ones. She always had to put at least a little bit of sugar in most of them, and in black tea she also added honey.

"Depending on your tastes, some teas might be better then others. Personally, I prefer black tea with some mint," Ella added deciding to name one type of tea. Might as well right? There was no harm naming a tea that she favored...unless he tried it and hated it. Then there could be a potential problem. "Is there a particular herb, berry, or taste that either of you prefer?" She asked looking at both of them this time. She figured she could offer her services to both of them as well. Irene though knew more about the selection then she did. After all, she made all of the tea herself.

Laying her tail on her paws, she waited patiently for either of them to respond.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — The poor paladin trainee was visibly shaking in rage and.....oh what was this emotion that was next to it. Was it anguish? Honestly, she wasn't sure since she had never felt so disheartened since she had last been verbally abused by her family. Either way, the feline wasn't going to let her emotions cloud her mind to the point she would attack. As much as she wanted to, she wasn't going to sink down to that low.

Trying to get a grip on her emotions, Ella stood there simply listening. Her mind though was slowly starting to go blank. She knew what was likely coming. She knew how sensitive she was after all. Especially when she felt she had failed. Before when she had failed her family she would simply apologize, try to do better, and that night she would cry while her family was asleep. Now things were much different. They weren't like her family.

Tearing up as her breaking began to get shallow and quicker, the feline began to shake for another reason. This time she was becoming light-headed. Her vision was blurring due to her growing tears, but part of her refused to let them fall. Not now. If she could just get away from the catsune she would be fine to cry. To cry in front of her would only cause things to get worse.

Hearing Irene thank her, she turned her head to the medic. She tried her best to give a weak smile to her. Might as well try to keep her inner turmoil as much of a secret as possible. She couldn't have her actually worry about her. She had too much on her hands.

"N-no problem," Ella said cursing herself internally for stuttering. She hated how weak she was becoming. She needed to get a hold of herself and fast. So with that said, the feline quickly removed herself from the scene. She was going to probably go to a secluded spot away from everyone. She wouldn't go home as people might be able to find her cottage. So, instead she headed towards a small creek where no one would likely go.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Hearing a familiar voice, the feline turned her head slightly towards it. Ah, Dimitri. Last she had seen him he had been in the Overgrowth. Had something changed since then? She wasn't entirely sure, but seeing him made her a little uneasy. She wouldn't voice this though as she wasn't even sure why it did.

"Irene is hosting it," Ella said motioning over to the medic. She wasn't entirely sure why she answered his question. Then again, when uneasy she could do odd things. Like yell at Tavi which she had done not that long ago. It wasn't a big surprise to her that she had. The catsune had been causing a LOT of trouble in BlizzardClan for pretty much everyone. Her words didn't help either as, in Ella's mind, they could have been labeled as abusive. Something the feline absolutely despised.

Not showing any of this though, the feline smiled at Dimitri. She didn't want anyone to know of her inner anxiety. Something that was pretty much rising by the minute. Well, it couldn't be helped. She was going to enjoy herself though as much as she could until something started. Something she doubted, but with Dimitri and Tavi she couldn't be all that sure.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — The flower crowned gave a small laugh at Surge's words. She wasn't offended by any means as he was kind of right. She looked kind of odd at the moment with vines wrapped around her chest, and a cabbage leaf over her wound. It was an odd sight to most people.

"No need to thank me. I just try to help when I can," Ella said before hearing Canoris's words. Honestly, her face would have likely turned pink if she was a human. It was nice to receive a compliment, but it was still gave an odd feeling to the female. Wasn't surprising due to her past.

Carefully taking the bandages, the feline gave Irene a soft smile before she began taking off the vines. She carefully took off the cabbage leaf as well, and replaced it with a bit more cobwebs this time around being it was a much better gauze. The human gauze would likely be used on more urgent cases being it was unlikely she had a lot of it. Once she had the cobwebs in place though she began to wrap the wound carefully with the bandages.

When she heard the medic compliment her though she felt her heart speed up a bit. The medic though she was good too? She didn't consider herself that great. After all, she didn't know how to heal more complex wounds. Now that she was in a clan though maybe it was time to hit the medical books again.

"Thank you both," Ella said softly feeling a bit shy again. Soon enough though she finished wrapping the wound, and smiled softly at her work. "Now, I would recommend keeping the bandages on for a few days. If the cobwebs get soaked, or if the wound causes you some problems you can come to me or Irene," She said offering her assistance as well. She knew how to redress a wound so she figured she could help at least with that.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella couldn't help but smile a little at their antics. She was quite amused by Kady's flirting, and Surge's compliment/insult. If she was the type to laugh more often she would have then.

Smiling softly in an amused manner, the feline made her way over to the small group. She had noticed as well that she had avoided people recently. She wasn't entirely sure why though. All she knew is that she looked distressed. It was almost like she had a secret to keep, or just a heavy burden on her shoulders. Either way she knew something was up. Eventually she was going to figure out what.

"They are both beautiful if you ask me," she chirped telling the honest truth. This wasn't a flirtatious comment though. No, she was just stating what she believed. They were both strong and stunning in their own ways. Physically they were gorgeous, and they both had something about their personality that was beautiful. Funny because she felt she wasn't really beautiful at all.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — For a split second the feline panicked as she saw the hinge fall off the door. Honestly, she thought the door was going to fall as well as possibly hit her. Even though she had some medical knowledge she still didn't know more complicated procedures like concussions and broken bones. She really hoped she didn't have to get Irene to help her.

When she noticed that Jetta was alright she gave a small sigh of relief. She really didn't want the other female to end up hurt. After all, she seemed quite nice and deserved to find her last name at some point. That and she had a whole life to live.

Smiling softly back at Jetta, she listened as she spoke. She was quite happy that she didn't want to go inside after that. "You're welcome. You're a pretty cool person too, Jetta," Ella said meaning every bit of it. Though they didn't find what she was looking for she still enjoyed her company. Maybe they could end up friends if they saw each other again.

//So, how should they become friends after this? Should they agree to meet up at a certain day and time?

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Ella had watched as others greeted the fox with open arms. Piedpiper was his name? It was actually quite an interesting name honestly. It also seemed as though he was well liked throughout the clan. Well, everyone that knew him anyway which seemed to be everyone but her.

Smiling gently, the flower crowned feline watched the sweet reunion. [color=#A9D0F5]"Welcome home, Piedpiper. My name is Ella," she said deciding it would be best to introduce herself to the male. After she made the mistake of not doing so when she joined she made sure never to do it again. It seemed as though Canoris had helped her out in that manner. Introductions were never really a bad thing after all.

The female went quiet after that though deciding to observe. She never really was one to get attached to people like they were attached to him. She pretty much cared for people because she felt it was her duty to help. Otherwise she probably would have ended up a hermit. This lack of connection though was probably due to her childhood trauma and abuse.

Laying her fluffy tail on her paws, the female kept quiet as she listened to everyone.

TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — Listening to the two as they both stated pretty much the same thing, the feline began to take a moment to think. There were so many different types of tea. Maybe she could list off some of her favorites? They did range in tastes so it could work. She also took note on the others that began to arrive. They didn't join the group though so she decided it would be alright not to check in currently. She probably would try to introduce herself at some point later.

"Well, personally I recommend trying mint black tea if you like mint at all. Raspberry tea is good if you prefer a more fruit and sweet beverage. If you prefer a slightly bitter taste with some sweetness added I recommend black tea with sugar and honey," Ella recommended making sure to cover most bases of taste. Well, the tastes that came with tea. Bitter, sweet, and earthy. These were also her personal favorite teas. She liked to drink different ones depending on the occasion honestly. She always had a special place in her heart though for mint tea.

"If you want I can bring over some tea. I myself am about to get some mint tea," she offered. She knew she had to carry some of them carefully as she was quite small, and could only carry so much. She wouldn't ask someone else to help her though. She always was the one to help others, and not the other way around. Then again, she had grown up doing everything on her own. It was understandable why she would try to do everything by herself.

Noticing Kady walk over, she gave a gentle smile to the dragoness. Honestly, Kady was quite interesting. One moment she could be one way, and the next she could be the opposite. Honestly, it was quite intriguing how the deputy's mind worked. She wouldn't say any of this aloud though of course.
