Just doing what I can

Cannival

Cannival found herself mimicking his greeting, dipping her head to him in return. "I'm Cannival. I, uh, I'm not quite ranked. I was granted sanctuary to live here and help with the rebuild as best as I can." She gave him a shy smile. At some point she'd have to come up with a more compact explanation for her place in Abaven; the more she told others that she was not really a member, the less she felt she belonged entirely. "It's a pleasure to meet you, most run.. or growl."

It saddened her to watch the wolf react to the news on his pack, and Cannival frowned as he lowered himself to the ground. "It could have been worse." She added gently, a sigh of empathy slipping from her maw. Carefully, she lowered her body down to lay as well. It felt awkward wrong and awkward to stand there above him. Soft gold eyes looked on him as he gathered his thoughts, giving him time to absorb the news.

"I was sleeping.. and was stuck in my den." Corvus said, and the lioness squinted at him in confusion. The burns on his paws said that he was indeed among those injured in the fire, but she did not recognize him as one of those who took to the rapids after evacuation. It was possible what he said was quite literal and he was stuck in his den until the fires burned out, but in that case he'd have to have been very close to the flames to have been burnt. How did he wait out the fire and not succumb to the smoke?

Cannival did not wish to judge him however, and she could admit that it was a hectic time. It was possible he snuck past her and made it to safety without catching her gaze, but somewhere internally she doubted that. She could not deny his injuries, however, and if anything that was enough for Cannival to let him think he'd fooled her. "You know, I was told just a few days ago the best course of treatment for burns... but I can't seem to remember what herbs were involved in the ointment. I wish I could offer to tend to your injuries." An apologetic smile crossed her face, and she chuckled softly at her own ineptitude. "I guess you're not the only one who feels they may have let down the pack." It was a presumptuous statement, but it felt right to say. So far Corvus did not appear to hold any aggression towards her, but she could only hope he did not take it the wrong way.
