★ Rattlesnake Attack [Healing event]

Upon spying the (ill? wounded?) wolf as he stumbled around, Malleus broke from the path he'd been on and padded closer. He was cautious as he approached, his gaze sweeping across his surroundings. At a distance he couldn't tell what was wrong, but he was determined to find out. If it was bandits he needed to know for his own sake. Perhaps his motives were largely selfish, but at least he was willing to investigate. If he could help he just might, but he wasn't making any promises.

"Is everything alright, friend?" he called as he approached. The closer he got the more apparent it became that the wolf was ill and not wounded. Malleus eyed the stranger as he considered his next move. To help or not? He wasn't in a hurry to return home, but did he want to waste his time helping a mortal?

He decided to do it. At the very least it would give him more experience in tending to his own people. Perhaps this encounter would earn him a mortal ally. Assuming, of course, the stranger survived.

Before he could get to the wolf, a familiar female beat him to the man's side. Pyralis' old slave. What was her name again? ...Lydia? Yeah that was it. He studied her carefully and then deliberately continued approaching. He didn't know under what circumstances she got her freedom and it didn't hurt to find out.

"He's snake bit," the titan boomed confidently as he closed the last few yards that separated them. "Those are fang marks on his right front paw, aren't they?" The wounds were small and puffy, but unmistakable.
