Horizon Ridge Come Sail Away

Thistle admitted to having violent thoughts about Nerian upon learning what she had done. She seemed really upset by them, and Julooke tried to comfort her. I don't think you should fault yourself for those thought. We're both pretty gentle wolves, and neither of us like conflict, but that doesn't mean we won't stick up for what is ours. It's natural to want to defend your relationship with Ragnar, especially against such blatant disrespect. Julooke was by no means a fighter, but that didn't mean she might not have those same thoughts if she found out some hussie was trying to move in on Verrine. Never mind the fact she hadn't told him yet she loved him, and they weren't a couple, but those were just technicalities to Julooke. What matters the most is that you haven't acted on those thoughts- not that I would blame you if you did. Could anyone blame her? Maybe you should have a talk with Nerian, she suggested. Let her know you know what she did, that she was out of line, and you expect that it doesn't happen again. If it does, there will be serious consequences. Like Thistle would rip out her jugular. In time, maybe you two can become cordial and you can still learn from her.

Thistle explained how she got the oil from the petals to put on the wound, and it did make more sense to do it like that. However, smashing it into the wound sounded a little painful to Julooke. Smashing it into their would doesn't hurt? she asked. It didn't take much for the oil to come out, but any type of pressure on the wound might hurt the wolf in question. Ragnar, though, was tough, and she figured he'd rather have it over and done with and get on about his way. Smearing in on the wound with a paw sounded a little bit more gentle, though. But, Thistle was right. For a wolf who didn't want to sit still, there had to be alternatives. For poppy seed, I just busted open the plant, but I didn't think to do it onto anything I could carry them with. Was that right or what way do you do it? she asked. The tiny little seeds had gone everywhere, and Julooke didn't attempt to round any up. She didn't want to accidentally ingest any.
