As he worked, she didn't seem too perturbed by his ministrations. No hisses of pain or grunts of discomfort. “Thanks for the assistance, sometimes it’s hard to administer herbs to oneself. I haven’t heard of the Wreckage clan, admittedly, but i’m still a little new to the land.” It made sense that she would have trouble getting herbs onto her own neck, so he felt a bit better that he was doing something useful. “My family name is Nightingale" she added. "Like the bird? That's neat." he said quietly. Her tongue darted from her maw, swiping across his nose to steal the leaf away. His stomach lurched at the sudden contact with the female, eyes widening. Woah. The leaf and its sweet smelling contents disappeared into her mouth. Aw, leaf. he thought mournfully. All this thought as to whether or not it was safe to eat, and she didn't even tell him before she took it for herself. “it’s honey," Aw, honey. he was definitely bummed out about it now. "very sweet, and a natural antibiotic. It’s also soothing, and good for things like bruises, or itchybites… and here I am, raving on. Forgive me.” Her laugh was a little awkward. The slight against him was forgotten in favour of smiling to reassure her. "Hey, I told you, lots of healers at home. I've heard rambling, and that ain't it." He promised with a thousand watt smile. “Here, let me show you something” she offered, sidling up to the wall behind him. Her delicate paws stretched onto the stone, and she scratched at it. After a moment of vigorous assault on the wall, she reached out and licked the wall. There was a moment where his brain visibly buffered, processing what she'd done. She... licked.. the wall. Tentatively, he stretched his neck out over her shoulder. He didn't need to stand on his hind limbs to reach the same spot, but he wasn't quite so sure about licking a rock. Maybe it was the water that tasted good? She hadn't tried to steer him wrong yet. So, he took a leap of faith. He licked the stone wall. A burst of sweetness flooded his maw. "Oh!" he gasped, swiping his tongue over the spot again. This little trick was neat as hell. Alright, one more lick. Just.. because. It was tasty. |
