Snippet #1050815

Aria caught Jin in time ignoring her shoulder. Moro called the pack healer as Aria sunk to the deck with Jin in her arms. Jovi ran off for Jin's doctor. Aria touched Jin's forehead, it was burning up.
"Oh, Jin." She murmured smoothing back his hair. She looked up when the old healer appeared. "Yulma."
"Child, let me see him." Aria obeyed and while Yulma worked her mother treated her shoulder.
"you have grown Aria."
"yes, i have. An old shaman saved me and out me on the right path. Now i have a pack of my own." Aria looked at Jin then at the others huddled at the rail. When her mother had finished Aria looked at Yulma. "Will he be alright?"
"He must have some of this medicine by mouth." The old woman laughed, "You do it child, i doubt the pup would what and old wolf to do it." Aria nodded and took a swing of the medicine Yulma gave her then put her mouth to Jin's. He swallowed the medicine. Aria hugged her pack one last time.
"You will always be with me, may the Lady keep you all safe."
"You may pass through my domain when ever you need to and know that we will always welcome you here." Moro hugged her then watched her gather Jin up in her arms and leap onto Jin's ship. With a final wave her pack sailed away to rejoin the others at their floating village. Aria howled after them before carrying Jin to his room. After depositing him gently on the bed she herded the others off to bed ti sleep off the night's excitement and in Mlu's and Jovi's case the sake. Changing out of her bloodied clothes into a knee length night shirt aria returned to Jin's room to find him in bed and a chair suddenly by the bed.
"I think there are some match makers on this boat." She muttered sitting down and taking Jin's hand. Aria began to hum a lullaby until she became too tired to keep her eyes open and placed her head on the bed sound asleep.
