Her heart would go out to the pup as he cried and sought comfort from her. She had no quails in doing so, pulling closer to the pup and licking his ear and head softy."Shh little one, it will be ok. We'll take care of you, patch you up and go find your mother. Think of the story you'll get to tell her when we're done! About how brave and strong you are when we have to pull those quills out. Your first battle wounds to show off to everyone." She smiled warmly at him. Hoping that her words were being heard and taken in. Her eyes lifted up to Orchid as she came to them, instructing the pup to be still and eat the herbs. It would seem his wailing and deep inhale for more air would aid in getting those plants down.
For a moment she was shocked that Orchid asked her to pull out the herbs needed when they pulled the quills out. A flash of fear shot through her, she did not want to make the wrong mistake and disappoint Orchid. But it quickly vanished to a look of determination. This pup was relying on her now, she reached for the leaf bag and had no troubling thinking of the herbs she would have picked. Gently she would pull out yarrow, lamb's ear and marigold. Smiling she gabbed the lamb's ear, "Look here, this is called lamb's ear and I swear it the softest thing you'll ever feel!" She hoped to distract the pup well enough for Orchid to get to work on pulling the pins out of the pup's face. Taking the lamb's ear she placed it at the pup's paws, rubbing it against his pads. "I wish we could have a ton of these to line everyone's den with. You think they'd like that if we could?" She asked the pup, lightly nuzzling her nose to his ear. His outburst to the quills being pulled made her frown."We have it lil one. You don't want to poke your mother with them still in your face when she comes to hug you, do you?" She said softly.
