Gannet allowed Dune to move in and begin cleaning the wound, knowing that he could not reach it himself. It hurt, but he refrained from lashing out at the Nu, instead only allowing another small whimper to escape.

It had been stupid to push himself like that, and now the damage was done. He was injured, and likely Liffey thought he hated her. But maybe that was for the best. Soon she would be gone, and Gannet would be here, and perhaps then she wouldn't worry about it. She could forget about him, like she did before, and he could stay with Wraen and Hydra and Dune and the rest.

Not at all cheered by this notion, unsurprisingly enough, he reached up to clean a spot of his own blood that had marred Dune's coat, and his tail thumped in a silent thank you.
