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

As they arrive at the healer's hut, Suku hovered over the smaller she-wolf's shoulder, watching her closely as she worked. She prodded at Suji's stomach and various other places, and he watched with a mixture of distrust and curiosity as she proceeded to give the larger wolf who called herself Resin instructions before informing him of what Suji needed. He nodded curtly, letting the healer work but never taking his eyes off of her, watching her like a hawk as she treated his sister. He was growing increasingly uncomfortable and, as such, irritable. He did not understand the healer's practices, and worried they were doing more harm than good. He eventually began pacing the small length of the den, still watching the healer but now his anxiety was visible, likely making everyone in the hut nervous as well. His ears laid back against his head as she began to use a wet cloth to wet Suji's nose. Why did her nose need to be wet? He simply didn't understand it. His ears perked up as the healer suddenly asked if he was alright, and he paused in his pacing before flicking his ear dismissively, "I'm fine." He insisted, drawing closer to hover over the healer's shoulder. "What are you doing? With the rag?" He asked, concern and curiosity warring on his face for a moment before he drew his expression completely neutral. |
Suku is almost always with his sister, Suji.
