Lacking Humanity|Half Crescent

Chapter Eighteen

* * *

Sage had been feeling rather disoriented. She truly didn't know how to categorize it, considering it wasn't an itch or burn.
No, it felt stranger that she couldn't place it.

Going to the healer hadn't worked, even if Andy had encouraged her to go more than once. There was no telling what sort of illnesses would transpire from the Underground, and instead, she decided to ignore it.
But sometimes, it'd turn into cramps in her stomach, and it wasn't her mensural cycle.
No.

This was different.

This pushed her to try and focus on something—Anything else, in the wake of trying to ignore what her body's been feeling. And that started with looking for Severin, though the male was partially difficult to find during the day. He was a busy wolf, being Beta and all. But she finally spotted him midday going down the hall, and she shouted to him with excitement.

Whoa there Luna, looks like your tail's on fire.

She grinned eagerly at him. Goddess, he could be Luke's twin or body double if they were side by side. And that's when she fished out the very thing she wanted to gift him.

"Looking for you...I want to give you this." She said, handing him the redish-looking vial. And while he took a moment to analyze it, his eyes bounced back to hers.

And what might this be?

"I make potion to heal my friend before. She blind from bad Rogue attack and can't see for five years...I make potion and she can see now." She said, but Severin still looked between the she-wolf and the vial. It hadn't made sense in the way she had practiced for it.

"Drink it. Tonge grow back." She said, her small hands making the motion, and he was taken by surprise that he took a step back.

You want me to drink this? What's even in it?

"It's a potion."

Yeah, hun, I got that, but it's lookin' kinda funny. This won't kill me, will it?

"No. I don't make poison remember? Don't swallow. Sit in mouth." The male sighed. He had no reason to doubt the Luna, and thus, he uncorked the top and did just as she asked. Letting the liquid sit in his mouth for a moment or two before the thick sensation started to make him gag. Though she helped him by covering his mouth with her hand.

"Little longer, I promise...Then we have yummy potatoes." It burned, so much so that his eyes turned red and irritated with a slight twitch.
"Shhh, shhh..." She whispered in a comforting moment, and when she nodded, the male didn't hesitate to get the liquid down and gasp at the fresh air. Hoping that it'd stop the taste, however, as he did just that...

Something thick had fallen on his lip, and when he brought his hand to it, he flinched at how rough his touch had been. It didn't help that he didn't know why Sage was bouncing on her feet, laughing and smiling. Instead, she tapped his hanging tongue in a purely teasing manor.

"No drooling!" She joked, and he rushed to the nearest bathroom to confirm his own suspicion.

Sage's potion worked. It worked!

"—ou deed it!" His attempt at saying 'you did it!' Hadn't translated properly, not when he hadn't spoken with his tongue in years. His excitement caused him to tackle the Luna, raising her up from her feet and spinning her around. Joining her in her excitement as he kissed her cheek.

"SEVERIN! YOU PUT MY FEMALE DOWN RIGHT NOW!" Andy yelled, interrupting their moment and storming the hall with countless other pack members present in the midst.
