Young JVB called out: I rushed up the stairs without thinking and stopped abruptly. Poor thing, poor little thing - well, not exactly little and definitely not pretty or cute - but it had fur, more legs than a human and it was hurt badly.
DQueene's spell seemed to work, the beast lay on it's side, both tongues hanging out. I cautiously moved nearer and saw the wounds. Turning around to Hypatia for help, I noticed she backed away slightly - so I decided to try it on my own. Delving into my spell book, browsing it through - damn, no index, no table of contents - I found a spell that looked interesting: Rinse and Purify.
Well, why not? I shrugged my shoulders, concentrated on the rune and used it on the first slash - Hey, it worked! I saw the stinking pus coming out faster and changing into the white stuff with corpuscles.
"DQueene, please repeat your spell, I certainly don't want to get bitten. I need more time."
She nodded.
I carried on with my rune, slowly circling it over all slashes until every trace of pus had left the wolf's wounds. Looking into my satchel I found some desinfection lotion and poured it carefully into the wounds, hoping it wouldn't bite too much and wake the beast up. But DQueene's spell still worked. A short glance at her showed me, how strenuous it was for her, and I was thankful.
Finally I took the hem of my long blouse between my teeth, grabbed Nero's samurai sword to slash it and ripped it apart: I had a bandage - and a very short blouse, but who cares?
I bandaged Wolfy, hoping he had enough strength left to get well again and started to stroke it. Starting at the head, I moved my hands fondly and gently over his whole body, looking for broken bones or other hidden wounds I could have missed - no, I had been thoroughly enough.
"Ok, that's done - now has anyone got some water and soap for me? I'd like to wash Wolfy..."
Ups, on turning around and eyeing my comrades I saw in some eyes what they felt: She's crazy!
"Aw, come on - he's sweet and will be a pretty good watchdog, won't he? Four ears, nice teeth, a lot of them... Please, can I keep him?"
