K'zhumi blinked sleepily at her sister K'iara's sudden appearance in her tent, no words were needed as Zhumi knew what her sister's attitude meant. Rising immediately, she grabbed her bag and moved with a slight limp towards the  medicine table and began stuffing healing supplies in it.
K'tahjha allowed her aunt to pull her into a hug feeling how weak K'luha was and Tahj's mind was racing. Should she tell her aunt about her daughter? Tahj feared any upset could negatively effect her aunt's condition, and decided to appear as if she hadn't heard the hopeful questions.Â
Pulling back, Tahj's eyes glistening with tears and more than a little worry and fear, peered anxiously for any signs of the tribe's healers, not seeing any movement through the gathering crowd of curious family, she forced a smile and looked back to the woman. "It'll be ok, Zhumi is coming and you'll be fine." Tahj's voice had a slight pitch of panic to it even though she tried to hide it from K'luha. Glancing around she spotted a mostly empty skin of water and snatched it up, "Can you drink a little? It might make you feel better."
