What was that about? The question was enough to make Halo give a soft, uncomfortable chuckle, and hide her face. "Oh, um, nothing... you know how alphas can be sometimes." She was doing her best to brush it off. Right, food would be a good change of subject. Food did sound good... Halo would see to it. "Wait here," she told Ru, ducking down the steps to the storeroom at the center of the pack. A bit of struggling with the heavy door and some rummaging ensued, before appearing with a few decent sized chunks of cured meat and some furs to make the guest den more comfortable.

"If you think it's just a cut, you really should have paid more attention in your healer training." Halo teased gently, her tail wagging loosely at her haunches. Teasing would make light of the injury, which made things easier. "Besides, you're my responsibility," the healer reassured, leading the way to the guest dens at the center of the pack. "You can take your pick of these," she offered, gesturing to the empty dens where they sat. "I'll help get you settled, then we can eat." Halo was warm, despite the awkwardness she felt sometimes... most of the time. That was okay. She was glad for the company.
