Broken

Before Rain could respond to Blue Willow, the wolf with her spoke.  She felt offended at his words of how Rain had expected aid. It wasn't true. She hadn't expected help, but had hoped for it. Here one was willing to provide aid and the other wanted to keep to their pack. If Rain had been in the same position they were, she would have been cautious, but she would not have turned away a helping paw to a wolf in need. Though, she would not have offered to help take the wounded back to her territory, but rather treated them where they were. As long as no one who intended to harm her came into the cave, she would be safe enough.  "I don't think I would be able to make it very far," she told them. "But if you could find my pack or help with my leg so I can make it back to them, I would be more than grateful." In her state, she wouldn't be able to do any harm.
