Something about the way his icy stare pierces her calms her temper. There is no hardness in the way he looks at her. Instead, he is calm and almost tender. Especially in the way he holds her tiny paw and speaks to her. It is as if he understands why she was lashing out at him - even though it was undeserved. Inhaling deeply as he prepares her for the sting, Delphi holds her breath and shuts her eyes tightly as he presses down. The sharp sting is real and she winces, but it is nothing she can't handle. As she releases her held breath, she stares back up at the boy and shows him a timid smile.

"Ya, I guess you're right," she says, still sitting there, allowing him to put pressure on the cut. Thankfully what he is doing is working and she puts it to memory for next time. Still rather stubborn, her nose wrinkles slightly at his suggestion. There is no doubt that her paw is injured and she won't be able to dig, but getting help from someone else... That would defeat the purpose of proving she was strong and capable, right? Delphi's expression scrunches as she fights the personal war in her head. Moments of silence stretch before she slowly nods and looks back up at him.

"Okay, fine. You can dig it up for me, that seems fair," a smirk finally touches the edge of her lips as her tail bats at the dusty ground behind her.  "Is the bleeding stopped?" She looks down at her paw that is still grasped between his two large ones.
