Bearclaw Valley keep moving on

To his surprise, the larger wolf followed him without a word. It seemed like he'd had a difficult time getting up the hill, which Evien understood. On days where his hip bothered him, he too had to struggle up the incline. The boy headed into the stores he'd packed up and took some of the burdock root into his maw. It would treat the infection and numb the pain - ideal for this situation. 

Evien took it into the main portion of the den, along with some clean, fresh moss. He dipped the moss into the spring to soak up some of the water before returning to the large wolf's side.

"I'm going to clean it first. Probably won't be pleasant. Try not to bite me," he urged as he leaned in to dab at the wound with the soaked moss. It would do better to get any debris out of the way - it looked like it had been chewed at, which Evien would fuss at the man for later, and it certainly needed a washing before treatment.
