What A Nuisance

Maria kept to her task quietly, musing to herself the potential backgrounds this male might have. He spoke again, much to her surprise, quietly offering his name; Shadow. It was a name that seemed fitting of the man. Maria gave a small nod, a sign that she had heard, before moving onto the next cut. She proceeded in the manner until they were all clean, coming up beside Shadow as she smiled gently once more.

“That’s a bit better... But they won’t be fully treated unless we get my herbs. That is... If you don’t mind accompanying me?” Maria shifted on her paws, flicking her ears back. “I know it might be hard to trust a girl you just met... But I honestly just want to help!” She moved before shadow, dropping down onto her belly so that her nose was directly facing his own. “Maybe... Maybe you’d want to stay here a while and regain your strength?” Maria suggested hopefully.
