Sunspire Mountains death only comes when you're defeated

"While I do not know about burdock root.. and if we have any -- because, naturally, our best aspiring medic just up and left without a word -- I do have something I am sure." he flashed her a smile, faint but genuine. "Thanks Ame, for...having me back." he murmured, talking itself was taking up a whole lot of his energy, but like hell the proud Roman was going to admit that. Gods, he was endangering and bring down The Sunspire just by doing this, just by Amekaze accepting him. Valerius wasn't going to be any help to that pack for sometime, and it was winter for Mercury's sake! He seriously doubted if it was normal pack protocol to accept an injured former member back into its ranks unless they were like close? And the Roman wasn't actually close?

Vale was knocked out of his thoughts by the sooty Alpha's next words, he wondered whether to swallow his pride and accept her help or just feel extreme pain and walk like a Roman. Deciding it would probably just delay his healing time, the alabaster male grunted softly, "I can walk," he said, with a tilt of his head. "But I'll appreciate some help, if it won't be too much of a problem," Valerius said awkwardly, knowing this formal thingy was not helping the awkwardness he probably started at all. But Father never taught him how to accept help, just to always be strong or die, or some other shit like that, so Vale was learning. Every learned things after all, don't they?
