Silvertip Mountain The kids aren't alright

My last post :)

Ryuu made it stop, the odd liquid that came from her paw. She licked it until it stopped bleeding. It had stung a bit but not enough to make her squeal in pain, instead she had been fascinated with the sensation. It was a strange thing, her focus zoomed in on it like an owl's vision when hunting for mice, but too soon it was over and instead she was being lifted into the air.

She was used to being carried in this way and as soon as her caretaker latched onto the scruff of her neck she automatically went limp, hanging and letting herself be carried as so not to cause any further harm. The darkness of the den approached again and she happily let it envelop her as Ryuu took June to her mother. As much as she had wanted to be outside, it seemed too dangerous to go there again today. 

Maybe the next time things would go better but for today she was content to curl up in a little corner of the cave and sleep. The cut was already healing nicely thanks to Ryuu's first aid, it wouldn't even be a thought for her on the morrow.
