Oh no!
An ouchie? That didn't sound good, and didn't comfort the girl either. What did her eye look like? Maybe it had swelled and was all red and had gooey stuff around the edges...Ewwww! she thought to herself, overwhelmed with nausea, almost gagging at the mental sight. Then her mother left after explaining that she needed to get something. Originally she thought this something was in the den, though was convinced otherwise as her mother exited the den, leaving a stiff girl behind. She didn't like being left alone, especially now that she was stressing over the eye situation. The space had grown quiet, and in those silent moments the cream woman was the only thing on her mind.
However, she promptly returned, and the pup could now release a sigh of relief. Strange plants like the ones she had seen growing outside had been brought with her mother and she stared at them curiously. The woman nosed a clump of berries towards her, saying that she needed to ear them. Reluctantly, she lowered her head and slowly slid the berries into her mouth. After a few chews the tart flavour started to kick in, making her scrunch up her face in disgust. Summoning all of her strength, she forced the mush down her throat as her mother began to rub a paste below her eye. "W-Will it hurt?" she squeaked, unable to imagine feeling pain every day when her mother came to repeat the procedure. Then when the woman asked what she had given her, the child was almost taken aback. She hadn't been paying attention most of the time, and wasn't entirely sure herself. "B-Berries?" she inquired in a small voice, scared that she might get it wrong.
