Rudy had felt horror, fear, a need to protect, and a load of other emotions when he had learned of mom being hurt. Now there was still numbness in him that refused to leave. The boy knew he was still worried about mom but his emotions weren’t reaching him. Maybe it was out of necessity to manage sound logic. Would he feel the emotions when he had done all that was needed? The young wolf made his way to Gwynn’s room where to where Tam would be found. When he spotted her a flash of emotion struck. Shock, worry flashed before it faded to that horrid numbness. She looked horrible. Bandages hid the main part of the damage but that didn’t hide the weakened look, it also meant not being able to see it his mind had to imagine what it looked like that had been enough to cause such reactions from Art and Resin. Bad enough to have mom looking like this. The boy was silent for a second before taking another step closer, “Mom?” A trickle of worry was coming back now. The young boy hardly looked like a pup now but he felt like one. Helpless to do anything for mom right now. Rudy felt he could let go of the numbness now but suddenly didn’t want to. Swallowing he pushed his fear back, locked it away to stop it from deciding how he should act. The motley gray wolf couldn’t be a puppy now, he had to take care of mom. “How –“ a deep breath. Numb. “How are you feeling?” Was Gwynn able to help enough to keep her pain in check? How bad was it really under those bandages? "Rudyard"
