Cerberus nods again. "That's okay. Sweetie, could you go get Rex? She'll know what herbs I need" Sweetie nods and darts off to go get Rex. Cerberus takes a step closer to Whisper before moving to lay close to the ground. "You're going to be okay. Just stick round for a bit. Rex will be here soon with herbs.."
Whisper didn't bolt, some part of her forced her to stay, so she slowly laid down slightly shaking, from what, hard to tell, maybe just left over panic, who knows.
Cerberus made sure to keep calm himself. He perks up at the sound of pawsteps, seeing Rex running over and dropping a few herbs in front of him. She turns to Whisper, her eyes widening. "Wow. What happened to you?"
She didn't reply for now, just staring at her paws at the moment, she kept her tail away from herself now, didn't like the smell.Then she blinked and looked up, staring at rex for a moment, then back at the ground, debating probably.
Rex winces Sweetie bumps her closer to Whisper. She looks back at Sweetie before rolling her eyes and moving over to Whisper, laying down next to her. She watched as Cerberus quickly made up a paste out of the herbs, carefully and as gently as he can, putting it on Whisper. The paste stung, meant to clean the wound and stick around until the wound was okay enough to close without needing protection. Sort of like a bandage with betadine on it.
Whisper almost hissed at him, but kept her mouth shut, staring at the ground in silence, as if it didn't hurt, she was good at pretending, avoided child services for a long time, yea, then father up and died, and child services swooped in so damn fast she barely blinked before she was seperated. Her ear twitched, then she slightly shook her head to shoo the image away.
Rex pauses. Her tail flicks before moving against Whisper, a small act of comfort from Rex. "So what happened anyways?" She tries to start. Cerberus wouldn't have minded the hiss, knowing she was probably just trying to protect herself. But it was needed so he kept going, making sure it done as best as possible
Whisper kept her mouth shut, flinching away from Rex slightly then acting like she didn't. URG stupid flinchy whisper, part of her wanted to shift and aggressively smack herself in the face, but she couldn't do that, least not infront of others.
"Fine, don't answer me." Rex growls. Cerberus looks at Sweetie before looking at Rex, silently talking to Sweetie. Sweetie nods and moves over to Rex, towering over her with a glare. Rex hesitates but gets further towards the ground, head against the dirt as she cowers. Cerberus nods and soon finishes with Whisper. "There we go. Everyday, come find me. I'll have to regularly change it."
Whisper twitched and crazy enough, turned and shifted over curling slightly against Rex and hiding her face by pressing into rex's side. She didn't quite think about it, just did it, didn't even seem to realize she was even touching Rex at all.
