Bahari looked down upset at the broken butterfly display. She was trying to find Kipepeo so that she could have someone with her while she went into a dangerous area of the territory to get a new plant for the Garden, when her tail accidentally brushed against the display where Kipepeo kept all of her pinned butterflies, knocking it off the rock it sat on, and it fell to the floor, where it now lay, shattered. Bahari quickly tries to fix it, only for Kipepeo to walk in on her.

"Bahari..." She began, voice icy cold, "What happened to my butterflies?" She asked, slowly stalking towards her.

"I'm so sorry Kipepeo. It was an accident," Bahari said, backing up.

"Right. An accident," She responds looking back at the broken display.

"I'm serious, Kipepeo. I was looking for you and my tail accidentally brushed up against it," She said evenly, "If you want, I can help you replace it," She offers, cautiously walking towards her.

"How? It's taken me ages to collect all of them," She says sadly, tail drooping.

"Well, you still have all of your butterflies, right?" She asks. Kipepeo nods curiously. "Then we just need to find something to clip them to. I'm thinking bark? It's soft enough to have stuff pinned to it, but it's unlikely to get ripped in the process," She said, walking out of the cave. Kipepeo follows her excitedly into the forest. "Hey, Amoka? Can you take care of the Healer duties for a while? I have to help Kipepeo with something," She calls out to her apprentice. Amoka nodded before heading back into the den. Bahari and Kipepeo strode into the forest and got a piece of birch bark from a nearby tree. The two of them carried it back to Kipepeo's den, and started to pin the butterflies on it with rose thorns and pine needles. They continued to do this until, finally, all of the butterflies were attached. Kipepeo set the finished display on a ledge that was much less likely to get bumped against, and thanked Bahari for her help.
