its a kodiak moment

Zola had an intense stare, but it didn’t scare him and he didn’t back down. She was the spear wielding warrior and he was trying to heal her. Though both still in training each knew much more about their chosen subjects than the other wolf. Eliphas was happy to leave her to fight the bears as long as she allowed him to patch her up. Not that he expected to run into anymore of the massive creatures, he knew better than to let his guard down so low again. Especially when he didn’t have his new acquaintance to protect him.

Not many wolves chose to follow the dainty healer, he was young and not very big. He lacked any leader like qualities, but he did hold himself like his bloodline should. He was still of Klein descent and didn’t balk at much despite his lack of physical attributes. He walked along slowly beside the proud woman, keeping quiet as they made their way through the woods. Zola couldn’t speak through the spear anyway. Eliphas had an inkling she wasn’t about to offer he even touch it.

She pulled forward as they approached the spring, he didn’t blame her. From the stiffness in her skin he could tell she was dehydrated. After she drank her fill Eli took his own deep swig before cleaning the moss he’d carried with him. With his moss refreshed he returned to cleaning off Zola’s blood matted fur. Merlin clicked his beak in rhythm and as the second round came back Eliphas started to hum along quietly as he worked. He couldn’t chant over her wounds while cleaning them but he could hum over them.
