IN THIS PRESENT CRISIS / typhoon visit

[bubblegum]

DEAR FRIEND as you know,  your flowers are withering
your mother's gone insane, your leaves have drifted away.
    but the clouds are clearing up
        and i've come reveling, burning incandescently,
                                              like a bastard on the burning sea.

YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER,
BURIED DEEP UNDER THE WATER.

The audience would appear to be small for now, with only Sophiea appearing, but it was a relief to see a friendly face at the very least. She wishes to have high hopes going into this visit, unable to imagine Vigenere so suddenly turning on her after their back-and-forth of saving each other. Though, she was crossed by Ciphers on a weekly basis, most of the time, so what was another added to the list? Still, there was plenty of possibilities that may explain what exactly had happened to their swampy ally. And the feline would offer one of those explanations to her today, thankfully. The tigress did contain some patience, but it was easy to break it, so having a swift response was surely a necessity in this sort of situation, especially given what she'd experienced every single one of their former allies do to them. If Tanglewood met the same fate, well, that would be an awful shame. Especially given the current relations she has and had with plenty of their members. She'd like to believe they were trustworthy.

And for now it seemed, the feline would confirm those beliefs. There was an illness passing around the members of Tanglewood, that was troubling. A concerned look would appear on her features, listening quietly as the other spoke. It still didn't quite explain why she'd sent her letter in such a hurry, which she'd been meaning to ask about, but she decides to leave the question for now. She can wonder about it later. Currently, she wanted to focus on the more important affairs, such as her ally's apparent, crippling weakness at the moment. If everyone was sick, that left them in a very bad spot. It was the Typhoon's duty to help, at least.

"Well, that is troublin' t' hear." She'd start her reply off with a slight sigh, putting on a more serious tone. "If thas' the case, I will certainly have one o' m' soothsayers accompany me in a few days - I know you've all struggled gettin' medical assistance the past month. I know a bit myself, n' my soothsayers are the best there is, so 'm sure we can get this solved." She didn't promise a specific one - she knew both Rosemary and Roan could get the jobs done well. Although she's pretty sure both wouldn't be too happy having to do work for another group, they could get over it. "What's the symptoms, so we can know what herbs t' bring?" If she didn't know a lot about medical terms, she could at least describe if they had runny noses, coughs, things like that.

Though now that she'd gotten the most important business out of the way, she may as well answer the female's questions regarding both herself and the Typhoon. "Yes, I got your letter. I was meanin' t' ask you 'bout it, but I don' think it's very important right now." She'd state with a small nod, quick to move on to the next subject. She didn't want to fill this time discussing smaller things like letters, she knew just how important time was for everyone, after all. "The Typhoon's doin' quite well - we always are. Hostin' lil' events for the end of the month n' all that good stuff." She offers a small smile at that, always one to enjoy events and parties, even if she wasn't as into social interaction as she let on. It was still fun to see her crewmates having fun. "M' childrens' birthday jus' passed, too, so we celebrated that." She was a bit more visibly happy to mention this, warmth in her voice as she mentions them. She doesn't do it often, due to the nature of it being so dangerous with her being such a large target, but she figures it safe enough here.
