She circled the trunk of the oak in the middle of the building and trotted over to a cabinet. He assured her that his throat was a little sore and she nodded, humming softly to herself as she gathered everything she'd need- burn salve, swabs and some soft wraps. As she came back over to him, it was only to guide him over to the closest chair and sit him down in it. She'd gently take his hand in hers and begin applying the soothing green salve- made from Aloe Vera plants, by the scent of it, and the way it stained the fur on his paws green.
"We have a... different way of life here... but what Tharin did was shallow and cruel." She seemed... disappointed. Tharin was supposed to be a Gamma, a face and voice of the pack. He was supposed to be patient and understanding, to respect the good things people had done for New Dawn. Why would he act in such a way? "I guess... you'll have some more trouble than the rest of us, settling in." She admitted, mostly to herself than to him.
"It's like any new home, though." She cheered a bit, smile returning. "You'll see. New Dawn might be stricter than any pack you've-" She paused. "We've, been in before, but it's a good home and a good family. Don't let Tharin's close-minded temper lead you to believe us all to be like that." She finished wrapping his hands carefully and set her supplies down nearby, taking his face in her hands now instead.
"I know it's hard, but in a few months time, you'll be settled in and living comfortably. You'll see." She patted his cheek gently and smiled that honest, heart-felt smile she'd worn so long ago- that same smile she'd worn when they'd met, expect now... now there was experience and wisdom mixed in. She wasn't a little girl anymore. She'd grown into a woman, a mother, and she wouldn't let this ruin their chances at finally being happy. Finally being free of that curse that had followed both of them for so long and so far. Someday, they'd be able to relax.
Sky's sure he'll be happy here. Eventually. xD
