OOC here!
Told that it itched Dalgina paused, considering the matter. There had to be a way to make it stop itching so Keldava didn't rub at it too hard. She decided that a soft chew would probably be the best for that, taking the ear into her mouth and gently chewing on it. Feeling her tingla jolt from her grasp Dalgina let go, looking over. A growl came from Keldava, protective and firm. Dalgina's tail wagged slightly, knowing that Keldava would fight the bad guys like she'd always said she would.
Her muzzle was licked reassuringly, Dalgina nudging her head against Keldava happily. Of course Mahn would keep them away. The problem was that she ended up being hurt doing that, just like last time. Dalgina didn't want that, so she made the special keep-away cloth. She shook her head, pushing the rope closer. Different. See? This one's marked. Dalgina pointed out the ashy spots that she believed gave it the power to protect.
