As the painted girl approaches, the Gaucho's expression is rather unreadable. Strange, considering he was usually not good with subtlety. The healer is not herself today, though, but the hours have rest keep the tiredness her body feels at bay. The drain on her energy is heavy, the stress of the burns felt, but not really when she had work to attend to. Gaucho's call had lifted her spirits, Onni reminded that while she may not be in the shape for battle, she was still useful to the herd she loved. Training would replace the technique all but forgotten. In the mean time, she would still be sought for her ability to heal. Even in the absence of the sun, Onni's limited knowledge of herbs probably surpassed any in the herds'. Now, perhaps more than ever, she was needed.
As the tobiano comes to a halt, the massive warrior steps almost uncomfortably close, the healer shifting her weight back toward her haunches for a moment before settling again. Above, in the air, Lyhty lets out a nattering chirp of disapproval, and Onni looks up with a glinting smile at the small bird. "Shh, Lyhty, it's alright."
When sky eyes make their way back toward the bulk of Gaucho, she finds his crown tilted downward, the rack of antlers being overtaken by the locks of black mane. Onni was uncertain if the warrior showed respect for much of anyone, aside from probably Kri and Midas. As far as the painted lady knew, she had done little to earn it. Healing was her occupation, but even before she had mended him for the first time, the stallion had given her silent authority, respecting her words more than even Sohalia, who the shaman thought his mate now.
As he spoke, his darker eyes met with hers, and the pale-faced mare waited for a few moments to see if he would explain more. "What for?" Her eyes widen slightly in confusion, though she attempts to mask it, and then tilts her head to look at his figure. "Are you injured?" she asks, her voice open and honest, before trailing her eyes back toward his face.
