Adjustments

When the female jumped up beside him, he turned his head on his limbs so that he was looking at her. Her expression matched his own, but he blinked in surprise when she offered to help. A faint smile touched his lips, tail beating on the stone beneath them. "I'm sure she would love that, she doesn't have many friends outside of her siblings," he said softly, head lifting from his front legs when she asked about her hobbies. "She likes to collect things, like rocks and shells. She loves to sing as well, her voice is just like her mothers," he said, flinching slightly at the mention of Wren. It had been awhile since he had even seen his mate, she hadn't been here the whole time Finch was injured. Trying to shake it off, he thought more about what his shy daughter liked to do. "I think that's about it, she's been fighting with being so shy her whole life that she doesn't get out there much." Bass was ashamed that he had not pushed her to do more, but would that even work on such a timid woman?

Vali asked more about how Finch had been when she had been found, and he let out a soft sigh as he thought back to both what was told to him, and what he saw. "There was a slice on her shoulder, but also a lot of other small scratches along her back. I don't know if they are all wounds from banging against a rock or from another creature. It's... it's hard to tell. I don't want to say one thing over the other, its hard without a lot of information. Finch said that she had the sniffles and the woman gave her the herb, it wasn't until after that that she said she was attacked by the monster with teeth," Bass huffed, ears pinning slightly towards his skull in irritation. There were patches missing from Finch's encounter, and there wasn't much else to go off of. When Vali said that she was sorry, the pale brute turned to her, his head shaking back and forth slightly. "You have nothing to be sorry for. It's life, things happen. I can't always protect them from everything, no matter how hard I try." He leaned into her touch, thankful for the comfort that she was offering him. Eyes closed as he let out a soft hum, licking the top of her head.
