ride like that carlito

He was stiff.

The scabbing across his right shoulder and across the back of his neck stretched taut, and he limped, once, twice—

Then settled on his stomach, his right front leg drawn towards him and rested under his head.

His ears pinned back against his head.

He licked his lips.

Uriel was getting better at being a medic. Gradually was her knowledge spreading lightly as more and more she met would pass their words onto her. Luckily as well she would try some on herself and see how it was — wounds were the easiest, for it wasn't uncommon as a lone wolf to have scraps and scabs here and there, as much as it seemed there wasn't underneath her fur. Though at the moment, she had none — was only a gatherer.

Now there was a plant in the mountains that was not available within the plains.. At least, she couldn't find it. Uriel may as well missed it and so she sought to the area around to see so ; with a mixture of mountains and forests, surely she'd find bladderwort. And she did! A dainty flower, yellow and though not the prettiest, what she was told that it helped with wounds. And that was a perfect change to hoard so for any who came by the Golden —

oh.

As she saw the flower within the distance, her passing by the trees she caught the sight of him. The one that brought hypothetical red to her cheeks and made her chest thump with an unusual warmth. Where her breath seemed to simply disappear by seeing him — and though treated her rather coldly, it wasn't a denial that Uriel found herself crushing on him just a bit.. She wished to have helped him during a time and yet, he was very.. Rejectful.

Maybe she was staring a bit too much, but her eyes glanced to the obvious sign of the injury upon him. Still fresh, but scabby, and she.. Had the perfect herbs just to solve that. Within that distance, there was a hesitation until she swallowed lightly and coughed, "Uhm, do you want me to.. Treat your wounds?"

It was no sooner than he settled did she come along. The yellow one; blonde and pale. The one from before the storm, and transporting anthills, and monsters in the sky.

‘Do you want me to… Treat your wounds?’

“No.” He grunted. Still and flat, where he laid.

They’d already been treated, the day before.

"Are you sure?" Her gaze drifted toward the wound. Something that seemed still fresh, and she believed still within treatment. Though a day of medicine can help, following a few days of herbs can do wonders on the body and it's healing. At the very least, the bladderwort could help relieve some pain with it's cooling touch — and even help ease any infections. She so thought that was the purpose of it, and hoped it was right.

"It can soothe any pains.." At least, since she had it, she would like to help him. A part of her wishes to apply it without his permission ; but Uriel wasn't brave enough to do that, even if the desire was there. She held a puppy-like gaze, a great desire on wanting to apply the herbs she gathered onto his wounds.

‘Are you sure? It can soothe any pains…’

“Fuck off.” He growled; his upper lip twitched. And he shifted his head on his foreleg until he couldn’t see her, or her dumb fucking face.

He already put up with Teo’s fucking bullshit on the beach.

He didn’t fucking need hers.

His ears rolled back, flat, against his head, and stayed there. He licked his lips, once, then twice.

Her ears fell backward as she timidly stepped back to his rather aggression in words. And though some affection was still there ; a mild crush that never seemed to leave as she fell for an eyes that never looked at her. Just an annoyance within the making that made her eyes feel a bit blurry and grasp the herbs underneath her feet. She was hurt as it rushed to her face and even embarrassed, being so bluntly rejected. The view of a first love seemed to be a bit torn, especially, when that feeling still warmed her soul. With a quick grab of herbs, Uriel literally —

ran away with a broken heart.

She left—

And he remained.

Alone, with his thoughts.

Alone, with his pain.

His head rested on a single outstretched foreleg. His body flat, on his stomach and chest.

He wanted a bone, to chew between his teeth.
