The male had not moved because his hind leg was stiff with blood and pus. The infection from his bite had worsened over time and he hadn’t the strength to tend to it himself. He’d spent a great deal of his time hoping that it would pass, but it was only a foolish move on the part of the pallid beast. Pain sat with him like a heavy stone during all hours of the day. His hock was swollen so badly that he feared he could no longer stand with pressure on that leg. Kierkegaard knew that he was at risk of losing more than he had ever lost before, but he did not know where to look for help. He did not know how he could muddle through such a thing.
When the female mentioned water, his ears drew forward and he lifted his head just a little bit higher. She did say that she wanted to go unescorted, but he knew the ridge well enough from his many nights there that he would be of assistance to her. The pale creature’s tongue was parched. He had not seen water in more than a day. It would be wise for him to test his leg and attempt to seek out a refreshment as well. With great effort, the large male lifted himself to his paws and immediately felt the pain in his back leg worsen. With gritted teeth, he favored the leg and narrowed his brows at the white-furred female below him. “Follow me,” Kierkegaard growled quietly, motioning with his head in the direction he aimed to go. If she did not listen, it would be of no loss to the Sairensu wolf. She could be left alone to find her own water.
