Walk | Talk | Think

To her surprise and relief, the dark colored wolf flexed his paw easily and turned it over and back, admiring her work and the returned function he had to his foot again. I did it! the little cream colored wolf thought, smiling to herself over her success while her tail wagged excitedly yet reservedly behind her. This was promising! If she could handle something as simple as a little thorn on her own, then surely that meant she was one step closer to assisting with the healing and tending of injured wolves that took place back at camp? Taking great pride in her first small victory, Merci murmured back quietly and modestly, "You're welcome," and only hoped it bode well for her future as a healer.

Suddenly he was asking her if she wanted him to catch her something, a meal she supposed, in return for what she had done, or to assist him in a hunt if she preferred that better. Mercianne blinked, her brown eyes slightly puzzled. This was unexpected. She had anticipated the thank you, but this? She was still technically a hunter in her pack, at least until she learned more about the arts of healing, but she was poor at it, skilled only in hunting on her own and for small game. But she hardly wanted to disappoint this wolf who was only trying to do something in return for what she had done for him. "Oh, um... I'm not...very good at hunting," she answered hesitantly and apologetically, feeling self conscious since she knew hunting was such a basic skill that everyone ought to know some about it. "But I can try if you'd like me to." Her offer was made with only a small bit of reluctance, and more with a willingness to step outside of her comfort zone so long as it helped another.
