something happened

Soon after Alpha had arrived, another figure came in his wake. Dovev barely lifted his head to acknowledge the ebony female known as Esperanza, who he had met briefly before. His ears twisted away as the russet-brown male growled at the new healer, but made no move to deflect the comment at her. Instead, Dovev kept one eye on the black creature as she flitted around and stepped towards his back flank. With pursed lips rolled slightly over his front teeth, the tundra brute stood rigidly as the cool plaster of medicine soaked into his leg wound.

Although he knew healers were commonplace in a pack, Dovev never had the decency to seek one out. The several times he had needed one the male neglected it; now poorly healed scars grizzled his face. The bear did leave deep gashes, and no doubt these would leave a mark. But the poultice would allow skin to regrow instead of gnarled scar tissue taking it's place.

This should only take a day or so to rest, Dovev spoke, looking over at Falwasi. He knew they had a mission to attend to, something the white wolf was fairly anxious to go to. Since his first encounter with a Bypass member, the alabaster male had formed some fairly strong opinions about them.
Stepping away soon after Esperanza applied the plant mush, he positioned himself so that his wound was facing away from the group, giving only a small, meaningful glance of gratitude to the healer. It was marred by embarrassment.
