It's Not Easy
The woman didn't appear desperate for medical aid, though that was probably out of politeness. She left the decision up to him, and being the considerate soul he was, he wouldn't ignore her injuries. "It's not trouble at all, really," he assured her with a warm smile. Alright, maybe it would take time to find something in this barren world, though like she stated, she could survive without the herbs. However, he wanted to help - that was what a healer did, no? There was also the risk of infection, which was another reason he wouldn't leave her scratches untreated.
He looked down to find his companion, who curiously stared up into his bronze eyes. "Could you find something for this dame here?" he inquired in a quieter voice, occasionally looking up to meet her vivid green gaze. "She is hurt." The hedgehog gave a quick nod before scrambling off into the undergrowth in search for herbs. Hopefully he'd be more successful than the canine with his advantages in size. Meanwhile, he'd keep a conversation going between them to pass the time as he awaited the creature's return.
The man intently listened to her response, seating himself on his haunches to lessen the weight he put on his sore paws. It seemed she was a loner, wandering around as of lately though she spoke of having a former home, one she contemplated returning to. She then explained how she had fallen off the log, wanting to have a good view of the hills though of course, it hadn't resulted so pleasantly. "Well, as a healer, I'm on the hunt for herbs to restock my supplies. Winter isn't the ideal time to look, though it's best to be prepared," he explained with sigh, glancing around at their surroundings, feeling slightly daunted by the region's abandoned state. "I wondered why this place was void of any life, but I guess I already got my answer."
