But I Promised You That I Will See You Again...

The call made the white woman freeze, her eyes flying wide open in fear. It was such an awful day; snow covered everything and it was so high. She knew immediately what it was - she was needed, as a healer. Any healer, anyone who could help. It was Bass who called, and that made an instant terror fill her entire body.Who was hurt? Who of the pack? How bad was it? Bass' tone made it seem as if it was horrendous, and Vali wasn't even certain she could make it in time.
She tried, though. She tried as she bolted forward, kicking snow everywhere and beelining straight for the scene... and she made it, at the end. She made it, and she stood as Bass pressed his face into a man's fur and sobbed. It was Hansel, if she recalled from earlier, an older member of the pack. She knew what happened there - and as she watched quietly, Hansel died. But... it seemed as if he did so with aceptance; he did so talking to Bass. From what she remembered, the man had more white fur on him where he ought to have been black-furred, and it was his time.
Even knowning that didn't prepare her to see the death of a wolf. It saturated the air, and what hit her harder than anything was the agonized howl that Bass made moments after. After several moments, when Bass curled himself tight around the man, Vali approached,yellow eyes focused on Bass. She dipped her head in acknowledgement to Bass' daughter, a soft, sad smile on her face. The girl's presence didn't stop her as she folded herself down next to him, her nose resting in his neck briefly just to say that she was there for him, and as a comfort. She didn't say anything to her friend; she had nothing to say... but she would offer the silent comfort, and she'd be there and she'd help in the best way she could.
Spotting the clumps of snow that was starting to melt and clump in his fur, she simply started to work on those, nibbling at them and licking them out. Snow still fell, of course, but it fell less in clumps this time as Vali was just there for Bass.
