It never appeared to really cool down in these parts of the land. Her body was telling her it should be winter, but instead of getting cold, the heat came in blistering waves. Having been allowed a small corner of the maze to make her own space, Tenshi had made quick work of creating a cool den. Bamboo stalks reached across the clearing for extra shade and an appropriately sized bed dug down into the ground was hidden behind a carefully crafted wall. From the opening, she could see most of the path that led out from her abode and was not surprised to see the slim brother approaching with a limp. With one eye open, Tenshi stretched herself slowly, waiting to see what the boy wanted before rising to her paws. When he requested her expertise, she stood swiftly, nearly silent, and emerged from the abode. Icy blue eyes glanced the midnight and red body over before spotting the swollen lump surrounding his ankle. A quiet huff leaves her nostrils before she turns back once more into the abode. Rustling through the supplies she'd been able to gather on her journey down here and time spent wandering the maze, Tenshi returned with a myriad of things. "Call me Tenshi," her rough voice was to the point. Having considered introducing herself the proper way and requesting the others call her by her last name, she had decided against it. Not knowing whether all of these wolves came from the lands surrounding Iga or not, she wasn't sure if they'd all know the same customs. "Was this from a fight or hunt?" Her Japanese was far superior to her common tongue and it was nice to have found somewhere she could speak it without needing to bother thinking too much. Moving two bowls toward her, in one, she smashed together lamb's ear and lavender; in the other, she mushed together meadowsweet and wintergreen with plenty of water. Pushing the one with meadowsweet and wintergreen toward the boy, once it was watery enough for him to drink, she swiftly grabbed a piece of bark and some vines that had been washed and molded into thin ropes. "Drink that quickly," her stern, motherly voice was not made for arguments. Stepping beside the boy, she lowered her face down toward the swollen area to inspect it. "May I?" Tenshi asked first before touching it. SPEECH |
