Admitting Failure
Suku comes to terms with the fact that he can't protect Suji alone.

Suku felt a rush of relief as the older wolf nodded to him, telling him to lead the way. He didn't waste any more time speaking as he darted off through the brush in the direction he'd come, hearing the low howl from directly behind him as they ran, calling for another wolf, presumably a member of their pack with healing experience. It was not long before they arrived, and Suku immediately found a place at Suji's side, worriedly sniffing her and nudging her side to gauge if anything had changed in her condition since he had left. She still seemed to be out cold, although the shallow rise and fall of her chest and the heat emanating from her body was the only indicator that she was still alive. At the other wolf's suggestion that Suji ride on her back and that they meet the healers half-way, he hesitated, not certain whether he could trust this wolf, and confused about her statement that she couldn't use her teeth - he had yet to see the serrated fangs hidden behind her lips. But he had little choice but to trust her now, and he was far too small to carry her himself, although he was rather average for a wolf, and so he gently took Suji by the scruff of the neck, dragging her over to the much larger alpha and onto her back, receiving little more than a stirring of Suji's paws and a murmured word in response. "Suku..." She whispered, so low it was almost indecipherable, and the male only froze briefly before realizing she was still unconscious and continuing to position her on the larger wolf's back. When he was finished, he boldly looked the larger wolf in her single eye, something like a threat in his yellow gaze. "Take care of her." He said sternly, knowing that if any harm should come to Suji due to the wolf's negligence, he would not hesitate to make them regret it, even if doing so meant his death. He turned away then, leading the way back to where they'd met at the border at a slower trot as to not disturb Suji on the she-wolf's back. |
Suku is almost always with his sister, Suji.
