Leave me be

Rory studied the strange female for a long moment as she looked at him. Her eyes seemed kind of glazed and she was obviously exhausted as she couldn't focus on him completely. He stood in complete silence as she didn't answer him and instead buried herself further into the sand. How could she stand to do that? her coat looked thicker than his and obviously she wasn't used to the desert. How could she be if she was here of all places? Any smart wolf wouldn't try a trek through the sand dunes without at least some knowledge of the area. There was very little water unless you knew certain tricks to find it. Thinking of water he supposed she needed some. Her exhaustion looked like it was partially coming from starvation and dehydration. Water was definitely was first on the list.

"Hang on just a few minutes, I'm gonna find you some water."

She probably wasn't going to like the water very much, but if she was smart she'd accept it. He glanced around for a moment before he spotted what he was looking for. He glanced at the wolf one more time before he padded off towards a particular cactus. He would have dug for water, but finding damp soil nearby would have been more difficult and she didn't look like she was going to be traveling anywhere any time soon.

He stared at the prickly pear cactus with a fair amount of apprehension. The fruit on top was what he wanted, but even those still had spines. This was not going to be kind on his mouth, but she needed water and this seemed to be his only option. Couldn't she have gotten stuck somewhere where there at least was some more water sources? He took a deep breath and reached up to latch on to a piece of the fruit with nothing but teeth. He made sure to keep his lips and tongue away from the fruit and with a slight tug the fruit made a ripping sound before coming free. He dropped it quickly and the paused for a moment to assess how many tines were on it. He placed a paw on the fruit, something that felt a lot like getting stabbed by tiny little teeth, and then began to pluck the needles out.

Once he was done he picked up the fruit and padded back to where he'd left the female. Rory placed the fruit down in front of her and the backed off to sit a little ways away from her. "Eat that, it contains water. It'll help you from becoming dehydrated. Maybe once you feel a little better I can help you out of the desert if you'd like? In the mean time you could tell me your name?" He said with a small smile. "My name is Ruaidhrí Adravendi."
