would you follow me?

Eris made no comment of his chosen nonsense as she returned with a bounce in her step. He peered at her from his garnet gaze, she wouldn’t be so chipper if she was the one lying on the ground with their chest ripped open. He stifled an ungrateful growl, though the pain was doing its duty in making him more irritable. Still, Eris was as sweet as could be as she explained what he needed to do. With his head still laid back on the ground it took more effort than he wanted to admit to shift. He was either going to be on his side like this or he was going to have to stand up. There wouldn’t really be an inbetween.

Oxide would try though, awkwardly and trying not to cause his wounds to begin to bleed again, the boy managed to roll himself up onto his paws. Or half onto his paws, with his hips and tail still sprawled out behind him he sat up and looked at the herbs his little shadow had for him. They didn’t seem appetising at all, and he was going to have to ingest them slowly.

”How about a chew as we move?” He didn’t like the feeling this place gave him, and as the sun descended further it was only growing worse. He didn’t like the idea of being on bed rest, but with his chest the way it was he wasn’t in the shape to argue. Hopefully he’d only have to suffer through a day or two of being in the same place. Already he dreaded it. This was a much higher price than he’d intended to pay on Eris’ behalf. ”The sooner we’re there.. the sooner we can leave.” He muttered as he struggled to his feet. Walking with the moss in the cuts would be slightly easier, but he had no doubt they’d likely aggravate enough that he’d be covered in fresh blood by the time they reached their destination. ”Point me in the right direction.” A gully sounded protected enough that he wouldn’t constantly be checking hisback at least.

Leaning his rusty features down he took up a bit of the lettuce into his mouth and began to painstakingly slowly consume them. He could chew and walk.. hobble at the same time.
