dante's appearance at the rendezvous site heartened lasher's dampened spirits, though concern besieged his face at the sight of dante's torn visage. shaking free of the pups, who clambered around him (though eilidh lay quietly between his forelegs), the beta went to greet his leader, whining lowly in his throat. the scent of koda still lay upon the silver withers, and his hackles rose. 


taltos did not think of what had transpired, nor the attitude between the pair of them. he acted swiftly and without forethought; moving closer to sidle along dante, he reached out and began to carefully clean the dried blood and grit from the edges of the alpha's wound. he did not speak, for soon willow would arrive, and would mend dante, but lent instead his silent support and the cleansing nature of his gestures to the alpha's obvious discomfort.
