The time has come, the move is at hand and the healer is relieved to see the wagons start their long journey to their new camp. The bosk are on the move and watching the herd as it stretches out along both sides of the wagon line, is impressive.
Despite the many turns her life has taken, the healer remains a woman of heart. She doesn't hold with the bitterness some freewomen possess and every day is a gift to her.
The first night at the make-shift camp, everyone seems tired but content. She herself is tired from riding the wagon seat all day, but nothing can stop her smile when she sees Jai and her relief is palpable when she sees the scars on the Iron Master and his son, healing nicely, but she keeps those thoughts to herself for she knows better than to try to mother either warrior.
Hearing the praises from the healer Falon, make her smile with pride, though she doesn't do her job for praise, only because these are the people she loves, and anything she can do for them, she does willingly.
She is content just being close to the Iron Warrior, and somehow deep inside she senses some reservations on his side, but her instincts tell her that in time, those feelings will fade as he comes to trust that she has no intentions of behaving as others have in his past.
She sometimes can be caught looking at the Warrior, wondering what thoughts move through his mind, but she doesn't ask..he has a right to his thoughts and she has no right to trespass in them. She herself sees a fine Warrior, one any woman would be proud to call her own, and a man that will be a fine father to the two children who have never had one to call theirs. Her son had always envied his companions for having a father in their wagon, and word had come back to her that he was hopeful that she would make tribe so he could finally settle among the people he rightfully belonged with. Her daughter was more thoughtful in her last message that reached the healer. All she wanted was for her mother to find some peace and a place to finally set roots. The young girl had decided long ago that her mother needed a new mate and up till now the healer had resisted. But time changes things and she is the first to admit the wisdom of her children. The healer looked forward to having her children back with her, and felt that finally she could feel that they would be protected. She looked forward to being a healer amongst the tribe, and most of all, she looked forward to providing a warm, loving home for her family.
