Aris kept the leather wrap just tight enough to keep the ointment-coated pad in place without being so tight that it impeded Atreus' breathing before attaching the end to itself with a small, sharp, double sided metal hook she'd traded for specifically for this purpose. Taking the ointment back up again she dabbed it on his lesser cuts and scrapes, all of which had already stopped bleeding on their own. None of the other wounds was serious, but it wouldn't take much for one of them to get infected, so better to take care of them now than risk that. Satisfied, she put what was left of the supplies back in the pouches where they belonged, and scraped her paws through the dirt to clean them off. "All right, now that you're not going to bleed to death, we're going to follow that cougar to make sure it headed over the boundary and didn't stop to hole up somewhere in pack lands. A wounded predator like that is even more dangerous and unpredictable than one that isn't, so it isn't safe to leave it. Since you wounded it, its your responsibility to see it through, regardless of injury."
