Her young face turned to one of confusion and concern. The wolf in front of her had saved her life from someone who wanted to eat her. There was nothing she could see that would cause others to want to attack him. If anything, he should have been welcomed as a hero with open arms. Another soft whine came from high in her throat, her tail quivering as she looked up at him, hopeful that he was not in more trouble than what he was telling her.

Standing she moved to leave gently against his side, careful to avoid touching any of his obvious wounds.

“They have to be mistaken! You wouldn’t have done anything to hurt them, I am sure of it.” Her voice was firm and confident. She even exhaled a small breath through her nose as if that decided the matter. Touching her nose gently to his shoulder she retreated back into her mind for a moment. She had always known he wouldn’t have left her on purpose, she trusted him more than that. But now, with him injured next to her she felt the need to try to help him as he had seasons ago. There were some herbs she knew that would numb a paw if it had a thorn in it. Others would cloud his mind and take him away from the pain as it healed.

Two tones eyes looked up at him and head tilted. “I can… I can try to help? I ate some plants that helped me feel better, maybe they will help you, too?” Her tail started to beat excitedly. “And then I can go back to the bad wolves! Tell them the truth about you!” A toothy grin spread and shined up at him. “I can help!”
