His controlled movements were of a serious necessity as he moved away from the beach. He was shirtless, his own blue t-shirt awkwardly secured in a tight knot around his neck. It hung heavily againt his chest, not empty by far. A broken puppy lay in the depths, a little crunched from the knot fastening her to him. Her broken leg was the worse injury he could see aside from the obviously painful jaw. He could see it wasnt broken but suspected a fracture to the tiny girls mouth. He was very surprise she wasnt crying out in pain. He wished he'd decided to become the medicine man in the summer when the flora had ben abundant. But a practised eyes caught the flash of red that announced an extremely early growth of poppy's. The seed would be enough to knock the puppy out and provide pain relief while he tried to fix her. Strong arms cradled her gently, soothing nonesense their conversation on the way back to the cabin.


Bright green gaze caught the flicker of movement upahead- the dancing flames of the fire he'd lit in the fireplace before he'd left. It had been dusk then but full dark was threatening to break over the sky. The comforting bulk of his home came ino veiw and the Theta gave an inward sigh. Not wanted to jostle the puppy too much but needing to open the door. Transferring all her small weight to one arm he pushed the door in. He didnt have time to look for Siku as he headed for the spare room he had momenentarily converted into his surgery. He'd salvaged a surgical table from the hosptial in Halifax and it would serve him well tonight. Slipping the knot over his head h transfered her to the table. Then he looked up and called out in a desperate measure for the white woman.


"Siku? Siku I need you! "


His voice was soft, not wanting to cause the pup anymore pain. Moving swiftly to examine her wounds he decided to knock her out first. He moved to the workbench he'd found, hand still graspig the poppy head he'd snagged earlier. Crushing it he removed the seeds before moving to make a tea from them. Soon she would be on the mend, but urgency was threading adrenaline through his veins and his heart beat hard and fast. He needed Siku hear to help him.
