What's the prognosis, doc?

Ulric more than willing to accept the help made everything go by much faster, and as he explained Ezra’s serrated teeth, she cocked her head to the nature of the bite, a relaxed nod of her head as she imagined Ezra meant what he had done and probably had no intention of returning baring gifts of apology.

Setting the jar down, Aranea laid herself down face to face with Ulric though more concentrated on his wound than his attention. He seemed to have the same idea as his thoughts were lost in the beach in view of the window. She gently groomed the lacerations with licks of her tongue, she wouldn’t usually do this with any stranger that fell down in the castle. Finding where the marks were though not finished bleeding. She dipped a toe into the jar, trading the placement from one paw to the other so when she placed her paw onto the tears, it would be from her smoothest paw pad opposed to a more rough one. She tried to glob a healthy amount in each area though not wanting to overuse while resources were becoming scarcer by the day. She flattened the globs with her nose, wiping on the inside of her leg when she was done.

Ulric apologized, where Aranea finally made her gaze back up to his face when his voice touched her ears, "Ulric, you will grow to know silly things like that won’t bother me." she did offer him a small smile before standing, one of her paws laying on his uninjured leg as she rose, instructing him to stay down. She walked to a shelving unit in her room, grabbing a cloth wrap she would end up securing around his leg to keep it clean while his duties were more strenuous than hers. She looked at him from the corner of her room with a pause as he spoke, returning with the supply, "I wouldn’t say it was pointless. It isn’t an easy thing to understand but there will be a day in his life when he will, even if he may not agree." It was obvious that at a young age and recently traumatized mind, Ezra would most likely not accept what he had witnessed. But he was bound to one day find someone who he truly cared about and loved where the thought of them not being with him was unbearable, and while Ulric found his release in what Aranea had shared with him, Ezra may have learned why the behavior was desired. In many years time of course, and there was no doubt that Ulric would suffer in time by his son who didn’t quite understand. "And he will look back and see what you did to try and reach him, through out this entire transition your family is feeling." Ezra’s feelings and future were impossible to be sure about, but it was like Aranea developed this way of speech to help others keep moving forward. There will be a day in his life that he will understand.

Aranea knew nothing of Ulric’s past, but it appeared in his late age that this was his first mate and his first time being his own family man, so naturally the need to be a good father both in an understanding and an authoritative way would touch a little more stronger now than later. There were always mistakes to be had, though Ulric seemed to have a clear path of what he wanted for himself even if his mind was jumbled with the many emotions of loss and guilt. Aranea would not blame him.

Finishing securing the wrap, "Your children are most important, but you are important too." her gaze came to meet his as she was done tending to him for now. It was funny how she was promoting self care while she for many years, and would even now rather suffer before rejecting what others needed around her.
