Luke assisted the silver female to rise and stayed by her side as she stepped out of the puddle. She did not travel far, no further in fact than the first dry area away from the puddle, before she laid down again. The blue-nosed wolf stood for a few moments, looking her over with compassionate scrutiny. He found her fur a mess, her belly rounded with pups yet she still appeared somewhat undernourished, and there was a weariness about her face. Luke furrowed his brows.

"I am no knight, my friend," he said softly with a gentle smile. "I'm Luke. What's your name? Where did you come from? You look like you've been walking a rough path." Luke lay down beside her, close enough that she may lean in and seek the comfort and warmth of his body, but not so close that he invaded her personal space.
