Blackfeather Woods Meat & Bone

Pietro flopped his ears down. His mouth hurt, and water didn't sound good. He reluctantly followed, stomping his feet as he walked. He felt his sister try to lick him apologetically, and he returned the licks with his own. He licked her face reassuringly. As a young male, he tried most of the time to have a brave face for those surrounding him, and he tried to do the same to his sister. He hid the fact that his mouth hurt really badly. He walked up to the little stream, and lapped up some freezing water. When the cold water touched his wound, he helped, and pain spread in his face. He squinted his eyes and continued to lap up some water, some of the blood washing out of his mouth. The wound throbbed as water continuously crashed against the hole. He stopped drinking and coughed. He backed up and stood, waiting for further instructions from his father.
