Everything has a place

Gwynevere's soft-spoken thanks to him for protecting the pack brought a trace of a smile to Art's face. He knew being a warrior and a protector of his home was a thankless task when he first told Resin he wanted to be a knight like her and Tamsyn, but it still felt nice to know that his efforts and struggles were being noticed and worth the while. Then she began to tend to his wounds again, and Artorias returned to gritting his teeth while he mentally willed the pain away. The meadowsweet she had given him helped to take the edge off the hurt, but it was still greatly uncomfortable. She had to complete her work though, so he just kept quiet and bore it, making only the occasional huffs or grunts whenever she'd find a particularly tender spot. He wasn't sure how long it took, but once Gwyn administered the final doses of herbs to his injury and wrapped his leg in clean bandages he released a heavy sigh knowing it would all be worth the pain in the end.
Artorias blinked his eyes a few times to refocus his vision and stared outside the windows at the snow flurries dancing in the air. The aching in his leg began to dull a little enough to the point where it became a background thought rather than an alarming concern. Gwyn brought him a bowl of water, and Art obediently sat up, albeit a touch wobbly, and drank gratefully, slurping down the contents of the bowl rapidly. The cool water felt good and he realized just how dry his throat had been. He didn't stop until he'd emptied the bowl of its contently, sucking in hard gasps of breath once he'd finished. Gwyn's question received a nod from the young wolf, a hesitant paw moving up to touch the tender spot on the back of his head. "Yeah... a couple of times, actually..." he responded while visions of the dire wolf throwing him about the plains and slamming his massive paw into his head played in his hazy mind. "It's fine, just... some headaches, is all..."
