Another Bottle Down

She was lying in her den, musing over her aching side where Nixie had crashed into her, when the stale scent of blood and the familiar sound of Riv's heavy paw steps graced her senses. She heard him easily outside of her den and her tail flicked to invite him in. He was always welcome within her den if he needed to. His company was refreshing to her already dismal state and the distraction from her own mind was a nice thought. He seemed surprised, when he spoke, that they were still here. An ear would flick back to her herbs, suddenly remembering them, and she'd smile forlornly. She couldn't quite bring herself to pack them up like the woman had demanded so she'd stayed and risked any possible punishment. None had come of course, but nothing stopped her now except her own promises. She'd devoted herself to Riv and even though he'd lost she was still loyal to him. Loyalty didn't change just due to a rank change. She wasn't a part of a pack anymore but she still viewed Riv as a friend. "You're my friend, Riv. I'd be an awful friend if I left you when you needed me most." His wound concerned her. She heard him groan and then sit and worry tainted her expression as she rose and padded back to her dwindling stock of herbs. She'd need to refresh them soon. She'd grab some more horsetail, lamb's ear, and some poppy seeds for him before padding them over and placing them at her feet. She'd push the poppies to him, motioning with her head for them to eat them, before she grabbed the horsetail and lamb's ear in her jaws and mashed it between her teeth. It was bitter to the tongue and she winced at it but she suffered through it in silence and then moved to his side. She spat the mushy substance on her paw before she pushed it against his side. It's help reduce the chance of infection and help bind the wound together so it'd heal faster. So long as he didn't reopen his wounds he'd be alright. "How are you feeling?" She asked as she worked, finally rid of the herb concoction. The question was more directed to his emotional state more than his physical state, but she cared to hear both. Walk, "Talk" Think "Nox" |
