Saving the damsel in distress

Kotori well-understood pride and could even respect her inner strength that she chose to walk by her own strength and balance regardless of her weakened state.  Kotori would move at a slow pace, making sure to not move faster than Ochi could handle currently.  Kotorisama?

He’d take her along an easy but upward-sloping path until they got to some grass and a scattering of trees.  “Valta is a fairly good sized territory, we claim the falls, the rapids upwards from here until the higher up cliff line you might have seen along the way in.  It goes west, to the farthest waterway before you’d cross to head towards the volcano.” The horned wolf offered landmark points that were tall enough to possibly offer some idea of their boundaries.  If she was going to rest in Valta for a few days she might as well have an idea of their area.  He had asked her questions so he might as well offer some information of his own.  

 Kotori headed to the nearest tree, stopping near its base.  She could use the tree to help support her if she chose to sit or wanted something to lean against while lying down.  “I imagine this is far enough for now.  A much nicer spot to rest.  The snow lasted a while into summer but now the grass is springing out.” The blades of grass were pleasantly soft and for the most part, Kotori doubted she wanted to hike all the way to his den if she could make it that far.  “If you want to sleep some more I could see about bringing you some food for when you awake.  I’ll see about one of our healers has anything to help your wound heal faster as well.”
