Ahhhh!!!

Zee proceeded to explain about wings and how they didn't work for wolves. Iolaire rose and began rummaging through her stores, putting some of the bark in a square of skin for Zee to take with her. As she worked, she filled in the silence with her own input. "Mort, wings on a wolf are just big, fancy decorations." Tying the skin shut, she moved on to collecting some of the salve in another square of skin. "They make you unique, but you can't be a bird."

After placing the two items beside her sister, Io smiled down at the distraught child and ruffled the fur atop his head gently. "You listen to your momma, okay? You have to be still for a while and you can't run around. Your paw has to heal before you can fully play again." She seated herself again, ready to answer any questions the pair might have.
