Lost Creek Hollow look at me, i am old but i am happy

At first Gannet was surprised by Rannoch's appearance, then he was discouraged by it. He took a step back, unsure if he should continue or depart and let him handle this. It hadn't struck him initially that this took a healer's care - there was no herblore involved, just attention to detail.

Fortunately Rannoch indicated he expected the pale man to stay and help, because he'd been prepared to leave them be. He was a stranger after all to her, and she was not calming enough for him to attempt anything. Her twisting would only make things worse in the end, though, he noted with concern.

Hold her, he directed Rannoch, and assuming the leader did so Gannet would waste no time. He would carefully plant his paw against her cheek, where no quills dwelt, and begin to quickly grasp the offenders near their base as he could and yank industriously out.
