After the surprise visit in the green house by the possessed raccoon, honestly not much had happened since then. Cerberus went about his days as normal. Going home with Viper, being watched over by Siren, spending time with his siblings. But he couldn't deny that the wound from the raccoon attack did have him a little worried. While it was wrapped up, there was nothing really worrisome to note. But when he was having it treated, when they removed the wraps, it seemed like the inside of his skin glowed. Was it the blood? Or really just the inside of his body? He almost wondered if he cut himself somewhere else if he would glow the same way.

He waited in Siren's den for her to get the supplies she needed to retreat the tiny elongated puncture wounds on his leg. He was a good patient after all.

Nothing was normal anymore, not their day cycle, not the living mushrooms and crystals, and certainly not the wounds she was healing. She had her fair share of bumps and bruises while she was a child, but she couldn’t help but see how different wounds reacted with this curse over their heads. She had Cerberus with her now, but that wasn’t any out of place occurrence. The boy didn’t come to her very often for his ouchies but he was often with her these days. She treated him with no difference to her own children.

Siren gathered up a few herbs, still worried over not being able to help Albi and Scylla’s ailments. She could at the very least help bandage Cerberus. "Alright, tell me again what happened?” She asked the boy softly while she leaned in to inspect the wound. Already the boy challenged her height.

Siren peered down to inspect the wound, nothing very serious just the wound lasting longer than it should have. She asked what had happened, and he wasn't annoyed if he ever had to repeat himself. He was as patient as he was quiet. "Me and Dalila were in the green house and a raccoon attacked me." He was simple, emotionless. He couldn't deny how he was stunned in that moment, how his paw hurt from the bite and scratches from the raccoon afterwards. But he wasn't really worried about the raccoon in the aftermath, he didn't have nightmares or anything about it. Not even the glow inside his body worried him that much. It hadn't affect him physically at least. He reached out his paw so Siren could care for it as she saw fit.

"Cerberus Klein"

Cerberus had never been a very expressive pup, he had one expression and one tone of voice to everything. Like he had no opinion and was just coasting along beside his younger brother and sister. He was well behaved and polite so Siren had no complaint, but she wondered if she’d see him smile.

The boy reminded her of the raccoon attack, and how could she forget? But wasn’t everything extraordinary and unusual right now? It was hard for the Queen to keep up with everything that happened around the island. It was no wonder Chimera was worn so thin.

Siren lifted the boy’s paw and inspected it further, almost swearing that the wound was lowing. As if the oozing disease had spread beneath the skin and through his bloodstream. "Was it glowing?” She asked him softly. "Was it growing mushrooms or crystals?” Siren followed up with as she dabbed a tincture onto the wound.

Cerberus flinched a little as Siren dabbed the tincture into his wound, but he didn't shy away from her. Watching what she was doing, his head tilted curiously. She asked about the raccoon, and he didn't leave her question unanswered, "The raccoon was glowing, but my cut didn't glow until Dalila used the herbs on it." He suggested, though it was still a mystery why or even what the herbs did to him. He didn't feel any different, he didn't feel sick or anything. Just the skin and muscle inside the wound was glowing.

"What are you using?" He asked curiously, wanting to learn a little bit of what Siren had to offer him.

"Cerberus Klein"

Cerberus was being brave, only barely flinching when she dabbed lightly at the wound, helping to clean up any residue from the bandage. He spoke confidently, his memory bringing up that the animal had been glowing, and his wound hadn’t begun to until the herbs had first been applied. Maybe like Rabies this was case zero in Fenmyre. Was Cerberus the reason the other pups were sick now? Maybe it was even deeper than a bite. He was curious about the mixture she was using, and to help distract him.

"My heal all tincture,” she told him softly. "Honey and garlic to keep it clean, aloe to soothe.” Siren explained as she finished cleaning up the strange wound. Dual toned eyes looked back up at Cerberus. "I’ll give you something else for the pain if it hurts.” The Queen added with a smile.
