She'd been idly walking along the river, casually sniffing amongst the damp undergrowth on the edges of the bank, not exactly looking for anything in particular, but looking nonetheless. She wanted to learn where certain herbs grew, so that once she was more prepared she would know exactly where to look to grab some when she passed through again in the future. Her search was momentarily paused at the loud yelp from somewhere nearby. Inoki lifted her head up, ears perked forward as she looked around to see if she could find who had made the noise. It sounded like someone young, and that had her worried just a bit.

There was the faint trace of blood in the air, and she followed it through the tall grasses on the bank. "Hello? Are you hurt?" Inoki called out softly, not wanting to scare whoever it was. "I can help, I know a bit about healing." She continued to walk forward, her steps careful on the off chance the wolf was laying down so she wouldn't accidentally step on them. There was some soft whimpering up ahead, and she used the sound to guide her steps, ducking her head down low as she moved, already thinking about the possible herbs she might need to use to treat them.
