& we will crawl, we will
Inoki!

Eventually she came upon a small child, swathed in blues and blacks, sitting in the grasses and looking up at her with wide eyes. She didn't want to scare them, and so crouched down so her face was at a similar height so as to not loom scarily over him. He mentioned he was a little hurt, and so she looked him over, her gaze finally falling upon his injured and bleeding paw. It didn't look too bad, just a scrape against delicate flesh, but that didn't mean it would hurt any less.
Inoki smiled warmly at him, hoping to ease any fears he might have about talking with a stranger. Speaking of that, where was his parents? She glanced momentarily around, but upon not spotting another wolf nearby returned her attention to the child. "I can make your scrape feel better," she said warmly. Horsetail would work well to stop the bleeding if she applied it as a poultice, and she would only need a small amount as his paws were very small.
"If I were to use some herbs to stop the bleeding and make it better, maybe you could help me look for some herbs?" She didn't know if the child was interested at all in herbs, but perhaps it would take his mind off any pain the scrape was causing him, and then he'd have something to bring back to his parents as well. |
