Share the pain

Just watching her had Rudy more disgusted with the state of things.  She was in worse shape than him as far as the mysterious illness and Rudy sure hoped he didn’t become that bad.  The motley wolf had gotten injured in the wrong order.  That bear put him into a coma and he was just starting to get better when Oxx did all of this to him.  Rudy wished he was back in a coma to not have all this suffering.

A small smirk of amusement came to his feature as he thought that putting another in a coma might be a merciful act at the moment.  Sadly he was in no shape to put anyone in a coma.  A moment later he forced another bit of reality into his mind that Rudy didn’t normally think like that.  He shouldn’t want to hurt anyone.  Rudy should want to stop others' pains.  

At that point, he acknowledged she had been speaking and considered the ooze-incrusted wolf as he thought back on her gurgled words.  “Were I you I’d be drawn to water for a bath,” Rudy grumbled softly.  A bath sounded great to Rudy also but bitterness reminded him that walking right now would just be a new world of pain again.  Maybe he was being a wimp?  He could just not use one leg and the neck and spine should be able to deal with it.

She had said more and he’d ignored it.  Rudy was so distracted by his own confusing thoughts.  Ah, names. “I’m Rudyard Carpathius.  My mom was, and now my brother is the leader of the pack.  In time I will be a leader of the pack as well.” Right now he didn’t give a damn about leading so much as wanting to throw around the status.  Rudy was getting a headache which just showed by another exhale sigh.  Just one more bit of pain, he was starting to get used to that.
