Dalila nodded when Kitsune agreed that she would like to complete the last few tasks and took a step back to give the girl space to work. She breathed a soft, hopefully unnoticeable shy through her nose while she watched Kitsune apply the herbs and wrap the wound, silently grateful that everything had gone mostly smoothly. The young man screaming and flailing certainly hadn't helped her nerves, but now that he was quiet and still it was a bit easier for them to finish their work and she was confident that he'd come to soon enough now that the wound was treated and the pain would begin to subside. It was the first time she had ever put any of Siren's lessons into practice so she had been quietly nervous beneath the surface, but she had done her very best to remain calm for the young girl's sake. She noticed the Princess' trembling paws, but she didn't breathe a word about it. She simply gave Kitsune another smile when she was done, saying quietly, "Well done." Now that the worst of it was over she was able to get a better look at Kitsune and notice the mess all over her lovely coat just moments before the girl asked her to help her wash up. Dalila dipped her head to the girl and immediately responded with, "Of course, miss." She led Kitsune over to the water's edge and used the makeshift bowl she had used before to scoop the fresh water from the river and gently pour it across Kitsune's chest and forelegs, filling the bowl and placing the girl's paws in one at a time to carefully wash them clean like she had Siren's many times before whenever her lady would come back with muddy paws from foraging or visiting her deer. Once her fire-marked coat was pristine once more, she dipped her head again and added, "I apologize for not having anything to dry you off with, miss." |
