Sitri breathed a little bit of a sigh of relief as Dusk began to respond to him even though it was very, very obvious she was in rough shape. At the very least she was conscious–at least for now–and seemed pretty aware of where she was and what was going on once she focused in on him and recognized who he was. He probably wasn't her first choice in wolves that could have found her considering the fact that they had only met once, but at least he was a friendly face and not another attacker coming to finish the job. "Woah, woah, hold on," he said as she struggled to her paws, making an attempt to reach out and stop her, but she was determined no matter how unsteady she seemed. He was definitely no healer so it was hard for him to pick out what wounds she had going on, but it would have taken an idiot to not notice just how much pain she was in and how beat up she was.
"Yeah... yeah, I think so," he assured her when she questioned if they were all dead. If the carnage he walked through to get here was any indication he would say that was likely the case and if there happened to be any left they had definitely run for the hills at this point. "Yeah, I'd say that's a good call," he agreed when she stated the obvious need for them to get out of here, except his concern wasn't that there could be more attackers. He was more worried about her and her injuries and getting her to help as quickly as possible. She took one step and immediately began to crumple, but Sitri darted forward, carefully catching her with a strong foreleg under her chest, saying gently, "Hang on, don't move." He could admire her determination and attempts to take care of herself, but he was pretty sure they were a little past that at this point. He gently lowered her back down, his brows pulling together with worry.
He scoffed a bit when she insisted that she wasn't his problem and that he should call for her father–the Aegis of The Hallows. "Oh I'll call for him, alright... As I'm crossing the border of your pack," he told her with a bright, cocky grin before he slipped his foreleg under her again and pulled her up onto his back as gently as he could. He was still bound to rattle some injury or bump some gash of some sort in the process, but he didn't have a better way to get her home right now and he wasn't going to just wait for Artorias or whoever to show up. "Hold on as best as you can, alright? I'll have you home in no time." He lifted her up and started making his way back toward the prominent Hallows lands, moving quickly enough that they'd be making good progress, but not so fast that he was going to risk her slipping off of his back. "Keep talking to me, Dusk! Stay awake for me!" he added, occasionally glancing back over his shoulder at her just to try and keep tabs on her as they went.
The only small blessing here was that he had been through this area just a handful of hours ago so he knew a good path to go to reach the Auster based pack around the edge of the God's Garden. The rain was still lightly falling on them, ebbing and flowing into a drizzle at times and sometimes picking back up into full sized droplets. By the time he made it to the scent markers that designated the beginning of The Hallows' territory he was soaked through and Dusk certainly would be too. Not that he had really planned on waiting at the border regardless, but that sealed the deal for him as he strode confidently toward the large castle on the hill. He tipped back his head to let out an urgent howl and call for Artorias just as Dusk had told him to do without missing a beat so that he could get Dusk inside as quickly as possible. He didn't really know where he was going since he had only heard about The Hallows from his dad and aunt, but the castle was pretty hard to miss.
He hurried toward the massive doors that looked like they had to be front doors to the looming structure and he pushed one of them open to let himself in, breathing a little more heavily than he had been at the beginning of this trip from the prolonged effort he had put into carrying Dusk back home. He paused in the main foyer area for a moment with the sound of the rain pattering outside, frantically looking around for some sign of which way he should go. They had to have some kind of place where the healers worked in this place, right?
