Heldi nodded, glad to hear that everyone was recovering. The next question made her sigh slightly, ears pinning to her head in frustration. Her eyes flicked briefly to the gash on her shoulder, a grimace marring her features at its size.

"I was already injured when I joined Moonspear, the injury is in the same place as the first." Heldi scuffed a paw in the dirt nervously, afraid of being forced from the pack or just being seen as a burden now that she could no longer run as fast as before.

"I seem to have a limp now. I hope that it goes away in time but my hopes are not very high." Heldi shook her head, unable to meet Amekaze's gaze. "I'm sorry Amekaze. I wanted to prove myself to you, I didn't want you to regret recruiting me."
