just let me sleep

Funny how things work, isn't it? He had no idea the wolf that had helped him fight off the snow leopard actually had anything to do with his Praetor family. He had no idea that she was the new mate of his uncle, and he had no idea that his sister hadn't been too far off either. It seemed that sound traveled a lot different up in the North, the sound of the boar's hooves surprised Dominus and told him they had attracted someone. That someone was his sister, and that was all he knew.

Immediately his stomach was in knots and the pain from his wounds was suddenly not feeling quite so bad, he wanted to deny aid from a healer.. though only out of guilt. In a panic, he sat there speechless and unsure of what to say to either of them- then his sister commanded him to stay still, and considering he had no fucking idea how to react in the first place- he listened. She insisted on working on his wounds and he knew honestly they probably needed attention.

Blood was running down his right leg now, having made the journey down half his shin from the very top of his right shoulder-blade. Four inch-deep vales left behind from each of the claws of the leopard's left paw rested there, the longest about four inches in total across Dominus' dark blue flesh. One would almost think the boy bled blue judging from his skin and tongue, but red wept from his wounds undeniably in an unfortunate reality.

Dominus' breathing was still a bit stressed, though most of that was due to the fact that he had been holding his breath while she came close to him without realizing it. It wasn't until his lungs began sending pained signals to his brain expressing their desperate need for oxygen that he gasped and continued panting. He finally sat down on his haunches, though considering she was already dabbing cotton on him to clean the cuts- he realized only after that he probably wasn't supposed to move at all. It was so easy for the behemoth to forget that even the slightest movement from him was actually quite a bit of commotion in delicate situations like these.

"Sorry. For moving, and for everything else." His lips opened again as if he had more to add on to that, but those wide blue eyes flashed up to the woman beside them and his jaw split to give her an awkward smile. Did he want to get into family drama in front of a total stranger? He certainly had no shame, but what if Actaea didn't want to discuss it so openly? Maybe she wanted to pretend like she didn't know him at all, ha. Maybbeeeee he already said too much, fuck.

Dominus lowered his gaze and remained quiet, allowing his sister to work on him. He almost hoped she skipped over the slashes going down his back leg... but he knew she wouldn't. She had always been careful, calculative, and smart. Both of his sisters had intelligence great enough for some reknown, did they steal all the brain cells available in the womb? Dominus almost made himself laugh, but looked back up to Heloise.

"Thank you. You must be pretty important, to have an on call healer." His chin turned toward his sister as he grinned.

"I mean, I hope she pays you well." Pressure from her work made him wince, whether she meant for it to or not... he wasn't sure but it was enough for him to shut up for a second. Only a second though.

"I'm Dominus... Praetor." The regret in his voice after announcing his last name too was pretty readable, but what was the point in hiding who he was when his sister was right beside him? She knew him quite obviously, she stated his name before he even had. It's just.. he had a gut feeling that the name would mean something to this woman, as well. The shared the scent of the same pack.

His attention didn't stay on Heloise for long, unable to gravitate away from the reality that his last living sister from their birth litter was now sitting right beside him. He wanted to explain so badly, it was heavy in his eyes as he stared at her rather than her work.

OOC;; four four inch long, one inch deep lacerations across the top of his right shoulder-blade. four seven inch long, surface deep lacerations going across his left hips.

edit; Oh and four lacerations above his left eye on the upper portion of his forehead, below his ears. To the bone, about an inch or so long as it was a smack. :D Half his face is covered in blood and I COMPLETELY forgot until now, oops. Happened in first post. (That was a long time ago, heh.)
