Bright eyed
Ah, so it seemed he was dealing with a head injury and a sprained paw. From experiences with head injuries, he knew the one result to avoid was a concussion, and so he'd have to keep an eye on her to make sure she stayed awake while he was around. She didn't mind his company, did she? Or else, she would have said so otherwise. His chin lifted while his earthen gaze scanned the mountainous surroundings, finding only small valleys and steep hills. There was not a bush to be seen, or any vegetation for that matter. He felt obligated to help; that was what healers did. It was his duty to provide medicinal aid, whether she was part of his pack or not. However, no healer was irresponsible enough to forget to bring a small bundle of herbs with them, especially on a trek as far and as long as his. Perhaps he could swiftly dash back to the outskirts of the rocky terrain where it met a suitable woodland for him to quickly collect what he needed. That was really the only option he saw, unless the female assured him that there was no need to get anything, even though it was clear that she was in pain. "It's quite alright," he smiled in response to her apology, formally dipping his head to exchange his name. "The name's Terrae."
That was when his eyes curiously discovered a small bunch of tiny white flowers joined to a long stem lying beside his mocha paws. It was feverfew, a common herb known to treat many injuries and conditions, including headaches. Where did it come from and how was it the exact flower he had wanted to collect from the nearest woodland? It couldn't have ominously appeared out of nowhere; someone had to have intentionally put it there. He lifted his head only for his eyes to just see a flicker of small scurrying movement into a nearby crevice before the area was still once more. How odd, yet rather intriguing. Perhaps the herb would soon disappear, which was why he waited a few moments before accepting its existence; it was too helpful to be ignored. And who should he thank? The mountain? He couldn't exactly see the mysterious creature who had left it there. "Care for some feverfew? It relieves and prevents headaches." |
