He didn't get much of a chance to put distance between them before she spoke again. “Since your there, can you rub this over it?” she asked quietly. Verdant gaze drifted from the ink dark fur of her neck to her paws. One dark, itty bitty forepaw plucked a leaf from the rest. Ah jeez, it was awfully tiny. Just like her, he was at risk of tearing the delicate leaf with his gigantic chompers. He hesitated, trying to puzzle out the best way to do this. After all, who was he to turn down a request to help where he'd harmed? He lowered his head slowly, careful not to bump her with his skull. With his luck, he'd be careless and knock her into the drink. Then this would all be for naught. The end of his tongue poked out from between his lips, and he stuck the back of the leaf to it. There had to be a purpose for all of his slobber, right? Evidently, it was for sticking tiny leaves to his tongue for spreading over a small wolf's neck. “Has anyone ever told you, you're awfully gentle for a giant?” she questioned in a teasing voice. He bit back a laugh, because it would send all of these herbs flying into the water for sure. Carefully, he lifted his head, making sure not to dislodge the leaf from the tip of his tongue. Craning over her head again, he slipped his tongue back into his mouth once the leaf was resting on her neck. It smelled delicious. Would he die if he ate it after this? Using his nose, he pushed the sweet scented leaf against her skin and smeared it over the area he'd bruised. A vaguely sticky residue streaked over her skin and fur. Ew. He didn't want to eat the leaf anymore. "The Wreckage clan comes in all shapes and sizes, you have to learn to be gentle with those who aren't as big as you. Also, most of my family are healers, so I got to see a lot of the consequences of being too rough with one another. Herbs are expensive, so I don't want anyone wasting them because I wasn't watching what I was doing." he explained in a soft voice, continuing to rub the leaf over her skin to his satisfaction. Once it was thoroughly saturated into her skin, he lifted his head. The tiny leaf was stuck to his nose, both from the natural moisture and whatever sticky stuff it was covered with. Ah jeez. He grinned broadly at her, taking advantage of the humour of the situation. "What the heck is this stuff, anyway? It smells awesome." |
