Something Else

Exodus listened to the female as she explained how this had occurred. He tilted his head, ears tilting back slightly as his expression of concern mixed with amusement. The way she explained herself, it sounded like this wasn't the first time she'd carelessly gotten herself into a predicament. Well, if she wasn't too terribly upset, he might as well lighten up a bit. Sometimes he was a little too serious, but he couldn't really help who he was. "Well, to be honest, I narrowly avoided a cactus myself..." he said with a chuckle, hoping to make her feel a little better about what happened.
He stepped forward when she accepted his offer to help, and began to examine all of the areas where the prickles were. They were in her face, her chest, her forelegs and even her paws. He glanced up at her from examining her paws, as she asked if he was a healer. "I'm no healer, but I've learned a thing or two from my brother; he's really good," Exodus stated, his tail waving, "This shouldn't be too hard. But it might take a while." There were a LOT of thorns, and some of them were small and difficult to see through her coat. Internally, he groaned at the tediousness of the task, but he wasn't going to let her down.
"How about I start with the paws?" he suggested, "That way it'll be comfortable to put your paws down. Don't mind me." The young man had to duck down quite far, leaning in toward a forepaw as he did his best to try to begin plucking out the thorns. He'd never really been this close to someone he didn't know, and he hoped she wouldn't feel uncomfortable. With his front teeth, he gently grasped the ends of some thorns, pulling them as carefully as possible. He was glad to pull them from her skin, and he sat up, leaning away from her for a moment to drop the thorns in the sand. Then his gaze met hers for a moment, realizing he hadn't introduced himself. "Oh, by the way, I'm Exodus Ancora," he said proudly, "I'm a Legionary in Celestial." And then he bent down again, reaching carefully for another few thorns. This was going to take a while.
