When the last of his patients left, Viri sighed deeply. What a nuts day. He thought to himself, as he walked over to the river. He bent down and drank the cool water. Something golden caught his eye. The golden flowers the bulbori had left! He leapt into the water, moving quickly in the direction they went. His large powerful tail ment he traveled quickly (imagine a crocodile), and he had no need to surface for air. After only a short while, he surfaced. A vulynx was looking in the water, surrounded by glowing orbs and the bulbori, a griffi, and a faelora. He stood and watched, not interfereing.

'Must chase!' The zolinix thought as he chased the glowing orb. Hansel darted though the trees as the orb a evaded his touch. "I'll get you get!" He barked as he leaped for the orb. It was no use though, the closer he got the further away the orb got. He growled as he leaped again only this time there was nothing to stop his fall. He yelped as he fell to the earth, the orb mockingly following him. He hit the ground with a thud and a crunch of leaves as he halfly landed in a pile of leaves. Pain shot up one of his paws and he grimaced before barking at the orb. He said every curse word he could think of, threw ever insult imaginable, all the while baring his fangs. Yet the orb just sat there taughting him. Hansel stood picking his one injured foot up off the ground. "Go find someone else to taught, you stupid orb!" He growled before limping home.

Rue followed the Griffi only through the water for she could not swim. "Wait up! Some of us can't go as fast as you! We don't have wings." She looked back at the Bulbori. "Need a left?"

Viri heard a yelp, not far away. He was torn. Should he stay and watch or do his duty and help the injured? But it was decided for him. The group were going in that direction anyway! He galloped ahead towards the yelper. He slowed when he saw the limping nixi. "Are you ok?" He asked looking at the paw.

His mind was stil on the orb following him. His ears laid back as he turned and snapped at the orb. "Leave me alone already!" He barked before turning back to find a quitari in front of him. He yelped again before growling. Then the horse like creature asked if he was alright, something no one had done for him in a long time. Hansel'a ears perked up again and he cocked his head to the side in confusion. He followed the quitari's gaze and found it landed in his paw which was bleeding quiet heavily. "Well crud..." He said sitting and looking at the blood dripping from his paw. "I guess I would have to say I'm not alright." He said just watching the blood.

Crystal stopped and looked back "sorry." She yelled back guess I'm faster than I thought she she watched the Vulynx begin to run towards the forest and saw something come out of the water and run to where her "mother" was headed. "This way." She shouted pointing so the others could see

"I'm a healer," Viri explained. "My name is Viri, may I have a look at your paw?" he asked, looking at the nixis face for the first time.

"Be my guest." Hansel said holding his paw up more. "Mind telling me how bad it is?" He asked before seeing the orb out of the corner of his eye. "I said get away!" He barked at the orb. "You got me already but you won't let me get you! Jerk." He growled before swatting at the orb.

"Hmm..." Viri studied the paw carefully. "I think you got cut on a rock, your pad's sliced, also some spraining and bruising. Hang on a minute and I'll get something for it." Viri dissapeared into the bush and came back holding several plant parts, and chewing something. He spat some green mush onto the cut, covered the paw in a leaf, and placed the other leaves on the floor before returning to the bush. He came back with a large leaf covered in sap. He wrapped this around the joint. He places splints on the leg and held them on with more leaves and vines. "Eat this." He gave the nixi some stamped roots. "The chewed buds will help prevent infection in the cut, the sap will sooth the joint, the splints will support the leg, the leaves will keep the area clean, and the roots give pain relief." He explained, rather roboticaly.

"You weren't kidding when you said you were a doctor. Thanks." Hansel said standing. "It would be nice to be able to do that myself." He wagged his tail lightly. "I'm hansel by the way." He barked happily before again seeing the orb. "I told you to get!" He snapped jumping at the or and chasing it some. "God, you would think that if you chased something for as long as I did, that it would leave you alone."

(Ekka) Ekka runs after her Mother and she then stops at the Qitari she met, and a Nixi she never met. 'can this day be anymore crazier' she thinks then jumps in the water to cool off from the running. (Flora) Flora see's the Qitari and she smiles but she then she remembered, 'they don't know me' she thinks and her ears droop. 'what do i say or do' she thinks then she sits down and ferns and flowers grow around her.
