Picking through the snow
He was hesitant about someone getting so close to him, but when he smelled the aloe vera and the other herbs as she began to set them up (or so he assumed), he let his guard down just a little. Then again, what did he have to fear? If she were up to no good, his companions could easily help him out. On top of that, what else did have to lose? His vision was already gone, it's not like she could damage his eyes any more than they already were. So he nodded, relaxing enough to show he wouldn't hurt her. In truth, it would probably be best for him to let a healer tend to old wounds, especially since his infection kept coming and going. She had already invaded his personal space anyway, but that was fine. He wasn't too worried about her harming him, if she wanted to help then he'd let her.
She commented about the infection, his ears pulling back slightly. He didn't know anything about sickness, and he assumed that it was normal. He shrugged, feeling a bit sheepish and uneducated for once. "I assumed it was normal after being blinded. My brother tended to my wounds after the fight, but maybe there was something he missed. I eventually lost my sight after some time to the infection I assume. It wasn't immediately after the fight, but I did have problems between then up until I lost it completely." He never really talked about the raid since it happened. Didn't feel the need to. It happened so long ago now, that there was never any point in brooding about it. They went. They tried. They fought hard. He had been proud of his pack for doing their best despite losing, so he had focused more on that then the actual loss.
He listened to her explanation of what she was doing up this way, and he couldn't help the amused grin that tugged at his lips. "I live here. For now, anyway. I don't know if I'll be heading back south or if we'll stay here." He came to the realization that she probably had no idea what he was talking about or referring to, so he explained a little more. "My mother was an alpha once and had claimed this land. Then she passed it to me, we moved to Auster, and a couple years later I lost my pack in a challenge. So now here I am, trying to figure out if I want to rebuild or just leave that life behind...in all honesty though, I've been leaning towards rebuilding. I made a promise to my pack, after all." He wouldn't go into further detail unless she was interested, so for now, he just explained the basics. "I guess you could say I'm also around here because our family has ties to the North. My mother grew up in the north, and my grandfather and ancestors led packs in the north, too." |
