Liam looked at her bandaged wound with a professional eye – like a doctor would look at his patient. A part of him was proud of the work he'd done, even if it wasn't stitches, but the biggest part of him was a little angry.
Angry at Terra for getting in trouble with another pack – with Inferni. The last thing anyone needed was reason for a war to start brewing again. Liam was mentally debating whether or not he should tell his dad – or at least Haven, since he was the highest ranked of the conclave tier. If he did it, it wouldn't be to put Terra in deep waters, but to protect her. Protect his pack. What if Inferni decided to attack tonight? They could be royally pissed at Terra and their irrational logic was telling them that they had to take their frustrations out on her entire pack!
Liam smiled back though, his anger pushed aside as the pride filled him up. He was quickly realizing that he had done it – Terra had been his first solo patient. He had been in charge and he had fixed her up. He hadn't needed his mother's help and hadn't even gone to his medical books to double-check that was he was doing was right. He'd been confident in his ability to fix her up and he had done a pretty good job. “It's no problem, really!” he said for a second time as she thanked him. But then she asked him what he wanted to do and Liam glanced around. The floor had blood on it and the towel was covered in the scarlet stuff. “I kind of need to clean up before my mother gets back...” he told her. It wasn't what he wanted to do, but it was what he had to do.
His job was to fix people, but it was also to clean up after his mess. Maybe cleaning wasn't an official duty for the Apothecary but it was the duty of a son when in his mother's house.
