runaway!

Her head hung between her front legs. This was insane. Obviously Recluse would notice her little punching bag was missing and go looking for her. Even sick with whatever disease was going around, even pregnant - she'd come for her. Noe wasn't sure why she even bothered. She turned her head back towards the volcano and sighed. I should go back. Maybe no one noticed I left. I could sneak back in, and it would be like.. like I never tried... A sudden footstep pulled her out of her thoughts. She looked around in a panic, trying to find the source. A tan wolf with a bandana and an overabundance of.. yuck.. coming out of her eyes and nose was walking towards her. Noe's heartbeat quickened. This one didn't look familiar, but who's to say?

Noe was expecting the stranger to yell at her, but instead, she begged for assistance. Noe's eyes went wide. She could help with a tummy ache, wash a would, basic field medic skills. But this plague? This unnatural disease? Noe blinked and took a step back. Wasn't this muck contagious? "I-I'm not.. uhh, I'm no healer.." She mumbled. It wasn't a lie - she enjoyed learning about plants a lifetime ago, but now, all she could tell you is what yarrow looks like. "I don't know how to help." She whimpered, fearing retaliation.
