Don't Play Koi [Sirius]

In an effort to give them even a modicum of privacy, Dove ignored Iolaire's response to Sirius as he examined the sutures the former wolf had lain. They were neat and tight, and though there was still a small amount of blood trickling between them, it seemed it had been stemmed for the most part. Her words brought forth a nod from the dark wolf, and Dove glanced up to see if he could spot the help she'd said was on its way, but he saw nothing for the moment.
He supposed if he were any other wolf, he might have been able to laugh at her question; instead Dove frowned and shook his head. "He thought it would be fun to play pranks," he said, "And made me to believe the mangrove forest was his territory and I, a trespasser. When I didn't back down from his threats, he sighed as though I'd ruined his game and took me on a hunt." What a strange way to make friends, Dove thought, eyeing the man as he gently set down the arm he was still holding. He eyed Sirius as a giggle of all things left him before he fell unconscious.
Dove decided, then and there, for the all the trouble Sirius had made for him, that he would beat the Warlord to death with that giggle.
Dove turned his attention back to Iolaire. "I'm certain he will be," he said, some feeling coming back into his voice. The blood was plentiful and sticky in his coat, and he wasn't sure if Sirius was still out of the proverbial woods with how much blood he'd lost, but for now at least, he seemed to be doing fine. "He seemed to have an uncanny way of getting underneath the skin and surviving, for all the trouble he makes."
