Kumiho could feel the color draining from his face when his attending "doctor" stated so nonchalantly that her father had wanted to kill her last patient. His heart began to race with a real thrill of fear. Where the hell had he ended up?! Was he in danger just by being here?! A soft whine slipped past his lips, but he wasn't sure if either girl could hear it. It was impossible to not wonder if he would have been better off drowning out in the ocean and silently wondered if it was too late for that now. Then the girl started asking how to use the herbs and medicines that had been brought to her, and Kumiho nearly fainted on the spot! She didn't even know what she was doing?! This is it... This is how I die... The grim thoughts left his mind just as the two Ashen wolves began to unpack the supplies around him, preparing for what would undoubtedly be a painful and terrifying surgery.
The older woman started giving soft-spoken directions to the pup, telling her how to proceed. Then she took off down the shore for the ocean to gather some saltwater, leaving him alone with his would-be doctor and/or torturer. "Um, miss...?" he started with trepidation in his voice, eyes nervous and pleading for mercy. "I'm not doubting you, I'm very grateful for your kindness and care. I'd just really like to not die please." So please don't kill me. The words weren't spoken, but the plea was in his icy eyes. He did his best to follow her instructions and stop moving or squirming. There was no getting out of this. She would be operating on him whether he wanted it or not. Might as well not make her job any more difficult than it was.
While he mentally prepared for her to begin, he fixed her with curious eyes and asked, "Can I know the name of the wolf that saved my life?"
