you shouldn't

Ragnar knew he wasn't being of much help. Then again, there had to be some forgiveness in regards to the situation. He was no healer and had not actually seen the incident happen with his own eye, merely stumbled along to find the aftermath. If he'd have seen it occur then perhaps he would have been able to give Thistle more assistance, to tell her from a third party observer's account what had went down. Alas, the Northman could not. Ragnar watched as Thistle rushed to the woman's side again, fixing him in a stare. A grim expression stole across the Viking's expression, though it was cold and stone-like in it's edges. According to Thistle if they allowed the woman to sleep then there ran a chance that her life might not continue forth for very long. There was a part of Ragnar that knew the Gods had ordained this and knew that try as Thistle might there always run a chance that the Gods wished for the Plateau woman's life. At the same time, Ragnar was not going to stop Thistle (not that he'd be able too because even if he told her 'no' he had no doubt she would go behind his back regardless) from trying her best to keep the Plateau woman alive. In many ways, Ragnar did not want to have to explain to the Plateau why one of their wolves had died within his territories. The first time being non intentional.

Ragnar watched as Thistle attempted to shoulder the woman as a crutch, wondering if instead he should take his queen wives' place. After all, he was bigger than her and physically stronger, at the very least. “Do you want me to help her?” Ragnar inquired to Thistle before he let out a soft noise of indecision, knowing that likely Thistle would have to dig into the medical stores, which meant less for the Bay. This, was where Ragnar had the most trouble accepting this whole “aiding neighbors” things. He held a heavy doubt that the Plateau would compensate them for cracking open things that were supposed to be for the survival of the Bay. What if one of the wolves fell ill and the things that Thistle would use for the woman would have saved the wolves' life but then they ended up dying because they were depleted? “If it is possible...use as little and as common as you can from the medicine caches. Things that we can find in the winter,” Ragnar spoke to Thistle, fixing her in the stare of his remaining eye, and the hollow and empty socket, to show to her that he was serious. Even so, the wolves of the Bay needed to be their priority and though she might not have been willing to let a poor soul die, Ragnar was. “Do what you can for her, but if her injuries cannot be fixed with basic, common things that you can find even in now then you must let her Fate up to the Gods,” He refused to sacrifice the whole for one — especially when the one in this situation wasn't even apart of their pack. He supposed his words might come off harsh but he was the Jarl and it was his job to make the hard decisions.
