Dalila's face flushed and her ears pulled back as a small, shy smile pulled across her features at Kitsune's compliments. She certainly never expected kind words or anything in return for the work she did so whenever she did receive anything of the sort it almost made her feel uncomfortable, but Kitsune was too sweet with her words to correct her on it. Perhaps she should have insisted that she was only doing her duties, but was she really? She didn't belong to Kitsune. The only wolves she truly needed to obey were Siren and Chimera since they were the ones that purchased her. She could justify it simply by not wanting to offend the Empress' daughter, but that didn't stop her from being conflicted over the whole ordeal. She only hoped Chimera wouldn't be mad about her helping someone else if he found out. She nodded quietly as Kitsune asked a few more things of her, directing her to help with cleaning the boy's coat and helping to get him somewhere more sheltered. She got back to her paws to begin doing so when the young girl added in one more request - keep this a secret. Dalila looked up at her in surprise and hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement to the final request as well. If she was keeping this a secret then perhaps Kitsune would as well so maybe she would never have to worry about explaining what she was doing to Chimera. She was less worried about telling Siren, but she wouldn't want to chance things with her master. He was hard to predict. With their pact made, she began scooping clean water and carefully pouring it across Iho's fur, watching the blood run away from his mostly pale fur while avoiding the wound they had just treated. Once he was looking a bit better she began looking around for somewhere they could hide away while he began to recover. She spotted a dense cluster of trees near by that would at least over a good bit of shade and coverage on a higher piece of land away from some of the murkiness that awaited further into the swampland so she carefully lifted Iho by the scruff and slowly dragged him over into the shade with Kitsune's help and by the time they got him situated on a patch of plush grass he was mostly out of sight behind the stand of trees and the bushes that surrounded them. "If there's nothing else, miss, I should be getting back," she told Kitsune with a low bow of her head, waiting for Kitsune to dismiss her before she went to leave and return to Siren before anyone noticed she was gone. |
