Because Of You

"Euro! Euro! Bob's paw no go back on!" She whined, letting go of it only to try nudging it over, still trying to get the paw to reattach to his limb. She was confused, so very confused. Why wouldn't it go back on? Was it broken? Did Bob need a new paw? A new paw! Her head shot up, turning over to look at the feline who had pulled himself together and was making his way over. With tail up she turned to him, lowering her head to be leveled with his. "Euro, his paw broken, we need to find him a new one, new paw will go back on!"

"Cana, stop!" He hissed, raising his paw and smacked her across the cheek.

Cana stood there staring at him with wide watery eyes, a single tear running down her cheek, through a small trail her hairs created so it slide right off and hit the ground. She had been panicking, her body giving off her fear like waves. Euro knew she was scared by the sight even if it wasn't very graphic, but this was the only way he knew she would calm down a bit.

"His paw won't go back on, that's not how it works." His voice held a softness meant only for her, sitting back on his hind-legs, using his front paws to push her back around. "You are his friend yes? Then stay with him and don't freak out!" He tried comforting her even though it would most likely not do much. This poor male would be way more scared than Cana was so she needed to pull herself together and be strong for him, he needed somebody he knew to show him there was no reason to be scared.

Cana continued to stand there, frozen after Euro had slapped her. Lips quivering she listened to what her friend told her, a whine seeping from her lips when he told her the paw would not go back on, then proceeded to push her over to the wolf and told her to be there for him if she was his friend. She nodded her head slowly, gulping, and flinching when one of the wolves returned with a mouthful of stuff.

The hound moved out of the way, standing just behind the girl as she worked, her gaze looked into Bob's eyes, waiting for them to open. Within moments she was done, apologizing to Cana which made her look confused. Why as the pretty lady saying sorry? She said her name was Orica and was a healer, then went on to talk about his paw that only made a soft whine come from Cana. "Bob is Cana's friend." She told the lady, Orica, not taking her eyes off the dark wolf laying on the ground.

Euro remained a few feet away, sitting on his haunches, watching. Something in his eyes giving away he was worried about the dark male, even though he barely knew him.

"Bob!" She barked, tail wagging at the sound of his voice. The little hound moved forward, licking Bob's cheek a few times then pressing her forehead against his gently. "Bob scare Cana! You mean friend! Bob make Cana sad!" She spoke quickly, happy to see her friend open his eyes and talk. Bob would be okay! Cana will have her friend still! She pressed her face against him, rubbing it all into his fur with her tail wagging like mad behind her.
