ERIS PYRE

______________________________

His cries were good - they were natural and real. To deny yourself that kind of emotion was paramount to sacrilege among the Ademre. She knew this couldn't be easy for me. Oxide didn't seem the type to accept help easily, and there was part of Eris that felt privileged to have the honor to assist him. She encouraged his whimpering with quiet noises of her own.

Eris weighed the advantages and disadvantages of staying here. There was something eerie about the land, and it certainly didn't have the resources she would need to help him. If she could see better, the openness of it would be to her advantage - any predator or stranger would be sighted from ways away. But as it was... Yes, they should probably move. She would collect as much of the lettuce as she could to soothe his pain and fight off infection, then they would have to go somewhere for him to rest. And it couldn't be far. Eris pricked her ears, listening for Oxide's voice. She heard him no more than a few yards away to her left, and had to fight back a smile. What an absolutely bizarre tune. Eris wasn't sure if she'd ever seen a coconut before, or even what it is.

She trotted back to him and laid the sizable bundle of lettuce next to his head. "Okay, it's right here. You need to eat it all, paying special attention to chewing up the stems. Take your time eating them - it's best if the sap has a little time to dry before you consume it all the way." Eris nudged the bundle close to him. "But you're right... we can't stay here. After you finish, we'll have to move. We can go slowly. I was on my way to a gully nearby, filled with exotic plants. Once we get there, I'll make you a makeshift den. It's best that we stay there... for a while..." She said tentatively, unsure how he would react to being cooped up with her. Everything about him screamed "terrible patient," and Eris wasn't sure if she was up to the challenge. It was no matter. She owed him a debt she could never repay. Even if he fought her claw and tooth, she would be his shadow until the wounds healed.
