As the man's smile faltered, Halo's heart rate spiked for a moment. Had she said something wrong? Still, she was glad that she didn't have to make direct eye contact while she splinted his leg. When Halo looked back up from the soft skin, his expression had settled once more. "They really are, both of them are good kids... most kids are good kids, though," the pale girl chuckled softly, the sound ringing like a bell. "I'm glad... not too loose either?" Halo moved to wrap rawhide strips around the sticks where they lay over the hide. She'd tighten them slowly, watching Mortis for any reaction. "Let me know when you feel support," her voice was a bit muffled around one of the strips in her teeth. It was between her teeth and her paw that the girl tightened the rawhide gradually, looking to make a knot that she could easily loosen when she needed to deconstruct the splint. "Work is good, it'll keep me busy," she smiled, more brightly this time. Putting down roots, staying in one place, and really setting about making this her home-- all of it was so lovely. "Thank you." She was concerned about imposing, but it was so nice having the company of friends. The grin was a bit shy, and like there was maybe a secret that hung softly in the air. Halo's brow wiggled for just a moment as she set about tying the wrappings that would keep the splint in place. "Who's Hika?" This was a new name to Halo, one she hadn't heard yet. Her tail swished softly at her haunches as carefully, she worked on her splint. |
