Trouble Is My Middle Name~

Briar chuckled softly as she chatted with Marigold while they made their way out toward the God's Garden. Willow had caught her while she was on a patrol to tell her that she had spotted Dusk out in the garden and had seen Thorn leaving the territory in the same direction which had prompted Briar to go follow after her pups. While there was sure to be scolding involved and a reminder of the rules, she did intend to let them finish exploring–with the proper supervision this time of course. She never wanted to discourage her pups adventurous nature or desire to learn and explore as long as they were being safe. Plus, it gave her a chance to get for a bit herself and Marigold would get to collect some herbs and plants while they were out this way as well.

However, the gentle smile on her lips suddenly dropped and her head popped up with a panic when she heard Dusk howling for her. Without a moment of hesitation she took off at a full run to answer her daughter's call. She couldn't remember ever hearing that kind of fear or worry in her bold, headstrong daughter's voice so she already knew that something had gone very wrong. Bounding over low walls and shrubs, she followed the sound of their voices and crying, the scent of blood hitting her and making her run even faster. It was very lucky that she had already been coming this way and had nearly made it to the gardens before Dusk called so it wasn't long at all before she found Dusk attempting to stop the bleeding coming from Thorn's ear and her son shaking and trying to rub his wound.

"Thorn! Dusk!" she gasped as she skidded to a stop by them, immediately putting her paw on Thorn's shoulder to keep him still and pulled a rag out of a small pack she was wearing, using that to pressure over the sliced off part of his ear to slow the bleeding. "What happened?!" she questioned, turquoise gaze glancing between her children and spotting the piece of his ear that had been cut off with something and then soon saw the wire that had been tangled up in Dusk's tail. It wasn't terribly difficult to piece together a series of events here, but she still let Dusk speak for herself to explain. Marigold managed to catch up a moment later, breathing heavily as she hurried over to help. The antlered fox immediately began to search around the area near by, finding some herbs she could use along with the supplies she and Briar kept on hand to patch him up enough to get home.
