Angela had forgotten to turn back to her human form and slept on her small porch step.

((Sorry if my posts ever get a little too lanky. I am used to writing huge paragraphs with lots of detail for novels I write))

Shade paced through the den clearing; her blue eyes narrowed. It wasn't in order. Why wasn't everything in order? Eleven was late. Hunters hadn't returned yet. Pups were hungry, and worse, they were scampering around its paws, nipping and asking to play. Now? Really? She'd have to speak to their mothers about teaching them all manners.
It gave them a quiet growl and the hyper little pups quickly ran, tripping over their own paws. It had things it needed to take care of, errands to run, a little... personal project to see to. Too much to do, so little time. Especially since everyone was running late. Really, how hard is it to run somewhere and run back? That's all everyone's tasks were. Run somewhere, grab some plants, run back. Run somewhere, kill some food, run back. Run somewhere, see how the land looks, run back. Not so difficult, right?
Why is this taking so long? Even R-
Kaizen.
His name is Kaizen.
And he's late.

Standing slowly, Shade stretched her legs before trotting off. Guess I'll look for all of them myself.

Ilia laughed, setting the towel over the mushrooms to dry them out before standing up. "I'm sure I can find something in here that you'll like." She hesitated but soon followed that with, "Come with me, I have a storeroom in the back. And don't worry, there'll be food there as well! Bring your teas, there's spare shelves to put them on."

The werewolf lead them past a small room full of books and past her bedroom, opening a door at the end of the hallway. "Watch the step! It's small but I've tripped over it many times." She laughed and went down the three small steps, flicking the light on. It was as neat as the rest of the house, a large worktable in the corner and a large cabinet beside the table. Except, on almost every available surface, lay herbs, mixtures and ointments. Ilia was used to the smell by now and although most of the herbs were dry it may be uncomfortable for those who weren't usually around herbs.

"There's food in that cabinet Emma, top two shelves only! Just refilled it yesterday, it might be mostly snacky things but I'm sure theres enough to hold you over until dinner." Grinning happily she tilted her head, making a small gesture to encompass the room. "But here we go! My storeroom. All I really need to do is sort these dried herbs onto their respective shelves which.... hasn't be done for at least a month. It's a bit chaotic at the moment."

When Ilia invited them to follow her, Emma jumped up eagerly while still clutching her tea and shuffled along behind her. As they made their way through Ilia's home, Emma admired the tidiness and pleasant fragrances that seemed to be seeping from the walls. However when they arrived at the door at the end of the hall a barrage of scents inundated Emma's nose as soon as Ilia opened it.

She couldn't help but make a choking sound as her hand flew up to cover her nose. What the?! Oh wait, that makes sense. Carefully she stepped down into the store room and noted the multitude of plants inside. All their scents mixing together was rather potent, and definitely something Emma was not used to. She took a few shallow breaths to try and ease her sense of smell into the heavy air.

Her eyes flicked over to the cabinet that Ilia indicated had snacks. Oh good! That would be a good distraction. She skipped over to the cabinet and opened it,Β  looking at the top shelf before pulling out a box of what looked like dried fruit. Yummm. She turned back to Ilia. "I'd be happy to help sort some of these with you!"

Esmeray followed after Emma and Ilia, running her fingers over the wall as she walked. She let out a small chuckle, the way Ilia organized her herbs reminded Esme of her mother. She dropped her hands to her sides as Ilia opened the door, the herbal smells assaulting her senses. Esmeray laughed before clearing her throat to distract them from that.

Esme had grown up with a mother as an herbalist, so she was a little used to the smells. But it had been a long time since then, so it still stung her nostrils. She looked around the space, eyes scanning over all the different herbs. Esmeray reached her hand out, tracing it over a few familiar herbs that she couldn't remember the name of.

"I can help too, I know a few of these herbs because of my mother." She said, smiling at Ilia.

Ilia laughed guiltily at Emma's shock. "Yeah, it's pretty strong at times. I can't have windows open in case any moisture gets in. Also don't need anyone getting in here and confusing things further." She explained. "And that's wonderful Esmeray! I'm sure you would've gotten to know more about herbs and my work than most. Its really all the basics apart from the very top shelves and I haven't used most of them for a while so they should be decent!"

She moved over to the table, setting paper and various mixtures aside. There were a few herb bundles that she set away from the mixtures and papers, ready to be moved around as needed. "Most shelves have labels and most of these herbs have different scents, if we can just manage to sort them into their piles, I'll get them all onto correct shelves tomorrow. Dried herbs do look quite different from their fresh counterpart so best to just group them together based on scents!" Ilia explained. "This pile here was my most recent lot, they're arnica. The same that I used for your tea, Emma! Looks similar to dandelions but has a more bitter scent and taste."

Angela still napped on her porch in the sun. She had all four legs tucked under herself along with her tail. She looked like a big floof loaf.

Eleven gave up and went back to the camp. They experienced no delays of any sort and they were very happy about that. Safety was prime. Survival was key.

Outside the camp, Shade wandered slowly, giving the others a chance to make their way back.
Even though all of them are extremely late already...
A few minutes outside the camp it came across a patch of flowers, arnica. Snuffling around a bit, she eventually felt the wind shift and caught Eleven's scent.
There are herbs this close to camp, what took them so long?
It headed toward the source of the scent, and catching sight of Eleven, it stood and waited on their approach.
