Lucky Catch

There was minimal hesitation by the dark female at his side, and that was all Bane could have hoped for. The male twisted his head to look at her and gave a pleading look, his own eyes trying to meet hers to reflect the gravity of the situation as she mumbled an acknowledgment at his command. His vision was pain blurred and a flash of white blinded his as she did as he asked and broke the branch, Bane falling onto his side with a pain-laced yelp as the shock of the breaking wood quaked his wound.?

Pinned ears heard the she-wolf's apology, the male gritting his fangs together and was about to thank her and head off to find Loccian, his wound-closing instructions forgotten for a moment due to the waves of agony wracking his frame. Then she pulled the branch out of him.

A flash of light, and he passed out for a naught but a second, enough of a time for him to hit his head against the cool earth. But that woke him back up, and Bane lifted his head back up to peer at the wound, ears taking in the she-wolf's words. The blood was starting to turn a dark crimson which was good. It was clotting faster than he would have thought.

"Like I just had a branch removed from my side." Bane gave a coughing laugh as he lay on his side and wondered how he must have looked. Pelt soaked and blood covering his right foreleg with his rapidly expanding chest heaving from the trauma of the precious situation, Bane could only say the obvious. "Thank you packmate."
