Moonspear tooth-hurty

A way to make his adult teeth come in sooner? An interesting question. Lyra didn't exactly know how — or if — such a thing were possible. Although after watching each litter of her younger brothers and sisters go through the various stages of puphood, it really only seemed to hammer home one thing — it all just took time. She remembered waiting impatiently for Vela, Jarilo and Galaxy to finally grow big enough so she could play with them; it seemed like it had taken an eternity. Now her brother was much taller than herself, and Vela was off chasing adventures somewhere unknown. Lyra's thoughts drifted sadly towards Galaxy for a moment before she brought her attention back to her nephew. "I don't believe so..." she murmured distantly, looking down to him.

His boyish features were twisted into a grimace, and it was then she noticed he too had taken a drink, only for the icy water to remind him of the wound in his mouth. She couldn't be sure how much pain he was in, so she offered with a delicately quirked brow, "yes, although if the pain is too much I have some herbs that may help with that." Yet there lingered an unspoken challenge to the youngster — but you're strong and brave, right? You don't need those silly plants.

Still, she would oblige him if requested; she wasn't completely heartless. It was only to test his mettle, to see how well the boy did with the discomfort. She motioned to the stream as if to say try again.
