Blackfeather Woods Jailhouse Tango

So ready for this!

Burke laid in the infirmary to recover from his bloat. There was a 70% chance that he could get it again if he didn't rest well and let himself recover fully. Even if he was recovered it meant that he was still prone of getting it another time. This information was the only thing that kept the workaholic on his bed. He didn't want a relapse and he definitely didn't want another bamboo stick down his throat ever again. Every time he swallowed, drank or ate he could feel the soreness. Even his breathing was still a bit raspy. But no matter he survived and he was eternally grateful towards Meldresi. Burke wanted to work for her again, and he was rather frustrated he couldn't.

The large male didn't feel like eating when he spotted the hare Meldresi was bringing in. But naturally he didn't want to offend her, especially since he could smell the honey on it. She was too kind to think of that, to even conquer a beehive to get the honey. Burke felt himself soften up more. He slowly lifted his head and yawned. Meldresi was basically his very hot nurse. "Hey Meldresi," he croaked a bit. He had to clear his throat before his voice sounded like it normally did. "Frustrated, bored and annoyed," he returned the same three words as ever, but he had a more genuinely kind smile on his lips. "But better now I am seeing you," he returned. The healing herbs Meldresi gave him were great, since they also mellowed the pain in his throat and general soreness.

His pale eyes watched her. Now Meldresi was here she was his only source of entrainment and information. He sniffed her out too, to know who she has been hanging out with and if rain had fallen. "Who is in charge if patrol now? I think Ohen will probably do a good job he is a hard worker. Is there enough food in the caches? Maybe another pack hunt... Has Damien and Cicero been practicing?" Burke wasn't trying to tell Meldresi how to run her pack but those were the tasks he was usually doing. He felt frustrated he couldn't do anything. Burke placed his head down on his large paws and looked with a bit of a guilty (and terribly adorable) expression at Meldresi. "I think I have a problem.... I can't seem to stop working."
