Bearclaw Valley saying run away

Really, the comment had been more of a lighthearted joke - Evien often lost his temper like he had a few minutes ago, and then felt bad about it later. As was the case now; he wanted to make sure Toad didn't think he was still mad.

"Yes, I'll have to get onto him for that later," he said with a wink and a smirk. "I'm glad you ended up here, too. It's good to have more friends - I don't really know everyone who lives around here, so it's nice to see a familiar face." He paused for a moment to crush up his poultice, pleased with it now that he had burdock root to use. 

The boy turned to the other, tilting his head to the side. "Would you mind going to wash your paw in the running water over there?" he asked, gesturing to the cool spring water trickling from the source toward the center of the den. "We want it as clean as it can be. No dirt or grass."
