She had gone out just to stretch out her legs, to test her back one and her gather more herbs she needed for it. Her leg was still very weak, unable to bear any weight. She growled softly in frustration. She hated being in the rut she had fallen in. She seemed so void of everything but her love for her family. It was the only thing she could ever focus on. She had heard howls and such around them, none ever clicking any familiarity to her. When the pups were asleep she would lay there curled tightly around them just staring off into the distance. Her head felt fogging, a fog that would never go away. Moving was hard for her even if her leg wasn't broken. She just didn't seem to have the energy for it. So she was usually at the den with the pups.
A howl of agony had she spin sharply, nearly off balancing her to the ground. She need not guess who that was. A mother always knew when it was their own child. She took off at a sprint, even if on three legs. When she got there she saw Gitan with Feli at his paw, Sorrel with herbs and Cerise coming around the back side of the den with wide eyes. Her own eyes widened as she looked at her son. Blood streaked down from the corner of his eyes. After a few long heart beats she shook herself and calmly walked over. She could not afford to panic infront of the kids."Good job Sorrel. Feli, Mommy's here now. Im going to help you ok. Cerise dear find me some moss ok?" She said softly to the kids. She looked down at the herbs Sorrel brought out, thinking carefully over what to use. But first they needed to clean him up. Feli's little body shuddered and was hot with fever. She eyed the boneset in the pile Sorrel had. She had to start somewhere."Feli my dear I need you to eat these ok. I need you to do you best for Mommy." She said gently and laid down to push the plant to his nose.
