silver beneath the surface

As the bandage was applied, Atreyu gave a light curse under her breath. Her ear stung and throbbed, but the pain was beginning to alleviate slowly with the help of the herbs. Thankful that her friend was with her, Atreyu let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding once the bandage was applied fully. Character indeed, Atreyu couldn't wait for her wound to heal. She could only imagine how painful the wound on Ellara's shoulder must be, especially with the crude sutures she had placed. Ellara concurred about their luck, pointing out that they made a good team. Bigs beamed at the thought, his smile wide and happy. 'We did good.' Said the little dog, shaking the tension from his frame, his little mohawk flying everywhere.

"I think we make a pretty good team too." Smiling at Ellara as she checked over the bandages once more, Atreyu looked over to the limp body of the cougar. Gears began to turn in that pretty pink spotted head, holographic eyes shimmering with ideas. It was wasteful to simply leave the cat laying there, sure it would become food for something, but that hide was so beautiful. "You know what else would make us look tough...a cougar skin to trade. We could split what we get from it." It wasn't a bad suggestion, the cat had attacked them, perhaps this was their chance to capitalize on the situation. Bigs looked between the wolves and the owls, then to the cat. 'Someone would pay a pretty penny for a cougar skin. But what if we made something from it first?' The naked dog had a point, but crafting would take a long while. Atreyu had nothing but time, however.
