Gerda blinked, taken aback by the strange lioness's response. Her smile faltered slightly. She had heard a lot of things from a lot of patients, but nothing quite like that. Well, Mittere was an outsider to the pride. Maybe strangers had different ways of speaking. Gerda, having never been beyond the boundaries of the pride's lands, wouldn't know. Gerda's smile returned. Strange though Mittere might be, she didn't want to make the newcomer feel uncomfortable. "That's ... good," she said, her soft voice encouraging. "Very good. I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet you sooner." She was sorry! Gerda was fascinated by strangers, particularly strangers who had grown up outside the pride.
Perhaps she and Mittere would be friends, and Mittere would tell her all about the lands she would never see.
"Have you felt any aches, any chills?" Gerda asked cautiously. Surely Mittere had been warned before, but it was her job to ask. An unpleasant job.

Narrowed blue eyes kept a careful watch on the brown lioness. Perhaps she wasn't quite the total idiot she'd seemed...but Mittere still had no proof that the other knew much of anything that pertained to the real world. Gerda's sympathy stung like a tick beneath her fur and Mittere had to make a conscious effort to keep from growling. Given the lack of commone sense she'd been seeing from the other lioness, Gerda probably had no idea that she was putting salt on the open wound. Attacking her would do no good, and the pink lioness could already feel her body protesting the strain of her tension, particularly in her abused joints.
Another mental note of what might or might not be the first symptom of the plague. But after what had already passed there was no way in hell Mittere was going to let Gerda know about it. Hell, she didn't even trust Nawiri enough to let the grey lioness know!
The other's words did shed the tiniest bit of light on the one part of life in the Kitwana'antara where Gerda's experience far outweighed Mittere. The brown lioness had likely lived here, with full knowledge and experience of the disease. There was pain, old pain, in her voice, the sort that Mittere had heard in the voices of old soldiers when they spoke of the battles that had broken them. Interesting, she thought, to find it here in a civilian. That similarity afforded Gerda the first touch of respect from the pink lioness.
She hadn't been asked another direct question, but somehow the stark statement demanded a response. "I'm sure," Mittere replied grudgingly to Gerda's heartfelt offering.
