Walk | Talk | Think
The frown upon Rune's face only managed to deepen as he noticed the black and white wolf beginning to move, trying to rise and get to her feet, and for a second he felt the urge to intercede. If she had collapsed there at the border of his territory, it was obvious she was past the point of holding enough strength in her to sit up properly and address him as would have been expected. Not only that, he could not yet determine if the extent of her injuries were only those that he could see against her shoulder, and if movement meant a worsening of her condition he was not ready for her to make things worse on his daughter if she was up for a healing lesson.
Surprisingly, the wolf managed to get upright and stay there, very noticeably using the last of her reserves in order to do so. He thought for a moment that she might lose her balance and topple over but she managed to keep herself up as well as answer the question he had asked of her. Her answer was somewhat humbling, apologetic, and from the sound of her voice he could tell she was not in the best of conditions. Whatever was wrong with her shoulder - he could see nothing else wrong with her even after she lifted herself up off her side - was apparently taking a toll on her pretty badly.
He studied her through a critical stare for only a few seconds longer, already having made up his mind about calling his daughter but wishing that, rather than treating a loner upon their borders, she would have been undergoing a proper lesson instead. But considering she was the best Secretua had, he was not about to turn away an opportunity for her to learn simply because it was not packaged the way he would have preferred it to be. With a final glance, Rune turned away from Emma and directed his attention into the Gulley, tilting his head back slightly as he released a summoning howl for his daughter's aid. Would she recognize that someone was in need of her healer's expertise and bring the necessary plants along with her? He was clueless as to what the Gulley offered, despite knowing the assortment was rather extensive, but whatever the case he hoped whatever would be necessary for treatment could be easily obtained.
