Skoll had very little experience with pain. He had been attacked by a bobcat when he was younger, which resulted in a clawed rump and a scratched nose, but it was not quite the same as this stinging agony. The salt in the wound burned, and he whimpered softly, less of a hero and more of a hurt puppy. He was barely aware of the younger boy’s praise before the little prince panicked and darted off, claiming that he’d return. The lieutenant only hoped that he would bring back an adult, although there weren’t any prominent healers in the Court that he knew of—not since Liam had left.

Meanwhile, the pale luperci reached forward and pressed his hands to the gash. His palms grew slick with blood pretty quickly, and he whined again before wiping his hands on his fur. It only made him look even more horrible, but he did his best to staunch the flow of blood while the kid was gone. In hindsight, it probably wasn’t a good idea to let the newly-saved pup run off, but he didn’t seem to have any negative symptoms from his soak, and so he banished the guilt from his mind.

It wasn’t long before Heiro came charging back with a sail in his mouth, although it seemed much longer to the young man. He swallowed, looking at the cloth as the boy began to tear at it. “Thank you,” he said breathlessly, and clawed through the sail, ripping and tearing with a frenzy. Clumsily, he wrapped the cloth around his leg, whining when it grew red then adding more layers until the blood no longer blossomed through.

“Heiro,” he forced himself to ask, pushing past his lightheadedness, “are you all right?” He knew he’d been careful in carrying the pup back, but the child could still be injured. He swallowed. “H-how did you get out there in the first place, anyway?”
