It hurt the brown eyed female deeply to see an old frien reduced to such a state. A shaking sigh escaping as Zilas tried to lick her shoulder, she grimaced, seeing the pain it caused him, listening to his questions as she settled down, she didn’t shy away from the messy task ahead, licking her lips as she pressed her rough tongue over the bloody shoulder would, a gentle lap at first, turning into long and measured strokes as she tried to get the messy injury cleaned to reduce the chances of infection, pausing she thought over what he was asking.
“The pack’s doing alright, the pups, Ryker, Lucia and Aleris are growing, Gent and Raela are still leading, we’ve had a couple wolves come and go since the last time you were with us.” she said quietly, looking him over one more time before sighing gently
“Oh Zilas, I don’t know what happened, but I’m going to make sure I see you all the way home to where you belong.” Everyone deserved to return home, where they had family, and with winter all around them, it was a death sentence for alone wolf who was injured.
