He overheard the scrap's question and despite his current state of alert at the passed out stranger he had to smile to himself. Those sorts of traditions were held amongst packs, not so much lone wolves and he got the feeling both he and Anyu held the youngster closer to the rank of a pup with his deminished condition than the yearling he clearly was.

There was no movement from the wolf at his feet, his growling had ceased minutes ago. She was still occasionally stirring and it appeared her breathing had changed but she still didn't get up. He began to wonder if she was faking it like some goats he had come across on human lands on his way here. Surely she knew playing dead wasn't going to save her skin in the case of hostiles? (Which of course her present company was not).

Kano was reluctant to mention, because all he had heard were whispers from passing wolves, but he was almost certain that the Grizzly Hollow pack had the only known healer for weeks of walking, or in this strangers case, limping. He hadn't been near the pack himself, but he had heard they could be found somewhere in the Cedarwood Forest.

He still held his tail erect and his ears forward, hoping his companions would continue to eat until they were full. His grandmother had taught him a little of herbs and plants that could be used to treat swelling and open wounds but the plants here were all so different.

He looked around him and spotted something familiar poking out between the roots of a tree. He growled a warning at the strange wolf, hoping she would take it as a sign to stay put and leave the others be. With the snow covered landscape this was going to be harder than if it was spring, with telltale blosoms and denser foliage to give plants away.

As he got closer he could already tell it wasn't the plant he was seeking. A little wolfsbane root crushed up would numb her leg enough for her to handle it. He looked around again, a lone willow its branches swaying in the small breeze. Of course... It had been one of his grandmothers favourites.

It had a terribly bitter taste but it took the pain and swelling away. It was also good for stomach upset and general aches and pains. Ignoring the bitterness he ripped some low dancing branches from the tree and returned with them to the wounded wolf. "Chew." he said with little emotion. He was still unsure whether this stranger could be trusted.

Kano had to agree with Anyu and his stomach began to growl at the scent of all the blood. This stranger could have cost them their meal. "I hear there is a proper healer in the Cedarwood Forest. It's a long way, I suggest you stock up on willow or keep to the waterways." Even though overland would be quicker he imagined she would need to drag half a tree with her if she wanted to maintain any sort of pain relief. It would heal in time, and to be honest, the less she used it the better, but it would also get her away from their food.

Kano turned his back on the strange wolf, hoping she wouldn't be foolish enough to try and stop him from eating his fill. All the drama had only made him hungrier. He smiled at the way Kashikoi was basically burrowing his way into the fresh meat of the deer and he smiled, making way for the belly, there was nothing better than fresh organs, especially liver. He salivated at the thought before tearing his way into the stomach cavity of the fallen deer, getting coated in blood and gore in the process.
