Trample upon me all you wish, I won't give up

Loccian was not upset about the male's reaction to seeing the wolf he had saved was the woman who had threatened him on the battlefield, the woman he had seen break down in a gave upon explaining to her nephew what had happened to his father the day he died. In all honesty, the grey she-wolf thought she would never see him again, that he would continue on with his life without having to worry about some crazy woman coming after him. But here he was, standing before her, having just saved her from what would have definitely resulted in death. He went out of his way to help her, was it because she was some stranger? What if he knew it was her, would he still have risked his own life? Grey orbs looked over to Squall as his whole body seemed to react to his emotions of seeing her. He took a few steps back, head lowered to avert her gaze, ears laid back atop his brown skull, shoulders dropped and tail low... was it an indication that he was not hostile? That he would not lash out with his smart words like on the battlefield? She really hoped so, Loccian did not want to deal with his comments at a time like this. Didn't want to deal with it as the pain still swirled around her heart... When she apologized it seemed to get something out of him. The look he gave her... she wasn't sure what to think of it, all she did know was that there was indeed no hostility. He was different this time, just like her. In her gaze was pain, misery... loneliness even though she still had Pontifex and Augustus. Yes, she knew they were there but she just couldn't help the feelings she would get. Even if they were standing right in front of her, it felt like they were miles away. And his, confusion, probably trying to figure out if she was on something because of the way she was acting. In a way it kind of felt it was that way, perhaps she had taken something to cause her to feel such a way, that maybe something was wrong with her. Suddenly her eyes went wide, watching Squall move... towards her. Her heart began to race, blood flowing through her body quickly, rumbling in her ears. Gulping when he stopped just in front of her, waiting for his comments, cringing slightly. What he said though was a surprise, instead of telling her off he simply told her she didn't have to apologize. Ears folded back against her head, his voice low. Brows came together, pulling herself together and taking in a shaky breath when he leaned down to look into her gaze. What she saw was a little surprising, instead of being annoyed or standoffish, it was kind of soft... The gaze quickly went away when he glanced over at his pelt when she asked if she could treat any wounds or pain, His whole body was in pain, that wouldn't be too serious, he had been hit a few times so he would be sore. His chest hurt mostly though, he wasn't sure if he broke a rib and asked if it was. The she-wolf didn't answer him, just let her gaze run over his chest from where she stood, seeing if she could see anything poking out in a place it shouldn't be. She motioned towards his chest, a silent way to ask permission to inspect him. With a deep breath after him nodding his head she moved forward, getting close to him which felt strange. Loccian had only been this close with her children, and one other being who she had tried to block from her mind, successful most of the time, and there was another who caused her to sigh. She didn't want to think about him... She shook her head lightly, pushing those thoughts aside, focusing on the present, on Squall who might have a broken rib. She gently placed her nose against his chest, running it across, feeling nothing. She moved a bit lower, ran it across carefully, searching or bump or breaks, nothing. Lower, repeat, lower repeat. ?I don't feel any breaks.? She said softly, finally pulling away from him, standing with her paws together, head low and kind of looking away from him. ?You may just be hurting from the blows, and I can' see any physical wounds so you should be fine...? A bit comfortable would explain how she felt right ow, being so close to the man, touching him too. It was strange, even though she was a healer. Perhaps it was because the wolf was Squall? "We should find something for the pain, I'm sure there is something growing around here that can help." She took a step to the side, grey gaze already searching for a useful herb that could treat pain. In the distance was a rumbling, dark clouds moving quickly towards them in the opposite direction Loccian was looking. She didn't even seem to notice, her full attention going into looking for herbs, trying to ignore the feeling forming in her stomach and throat, not wanting to feel more awkward with Squall.
