Firestone Hot Springs Child at heart

*takes a bow* ;)

And just like that, she was back in the game! Fin looked away from him to hide the smile that she was unable to stifle immediately. When she returned her gaze to his, it was a look of concern and determination that she wore. "I need to make an elixir. Just lie down and try to relax, I will be right back," she told him, shaking off his apology.

With that, she bounded off a few feet away and began to gather her ingredients. What she was making was actually something she had concocted many times in her life. It was a remedy for muscle pain, which was a frequent problem for someone who always went out of her way to get over-exerted, banged up and bruised. For the poor wolf she was having fun tormenting, it would do him no harm. It maybe actually would even make him feel better--that is if his back was aching.

After a few moments, Finley returned with a stick clutches in her jaws. On the very end was slathered a red jelly-like substance which was actually just crushed up hawthorn berries, some grass and a bit of water. She set the stick at his paws and took a step back. "Just eat all of the red stuff on the end of the stick. It may taste a little bitter, but it's definitely worth it," Fin told him as she dropped to her haunches and wrapped her tail around her paws, eyeing him quietly to watch for any signs that he was wising up to her scheme he was about to drop dead.
