Oh, the huge manatee!

Scarlett watched over Meldresi's mangled body. It was a horrible sight and she didn't smell nice either... Scarlett nudged her as she got to her feet. "Oh Mel," she whispered. "Don't worry okay?!" Scarlett took her to the clear water just up ahead. She made sure to support her friend in need. She would need some fresh water to drink and get her wounds cleaned, luckily they were in the marsh, close to the wetlands. The plants would keep the water clean, Scarlett knew that.

She made Meldresi lay down again in the shallows so she could tend to her wounds, lick them somewhat clean. Her ear was ripped and it looked horrible on top of being painful. "We will get you back on your feet, okay? Back to your pack, and to your babies, oh and back to Burke! Bet he is missing you lots," Scarlett spoke softly. Though she wasn't sure if the brute could even feel miserable. Oh well.. She needed to focus on Meldresi and getting her to a safe place.
