[u]Stardust Vale- Tarkutt[/u] Tarkutt nodded warily at Blynn's response before listening to Shadow, nodding again at the wolf's request. He glanced briefly toward Blynn, and, without making eye contact, said, "I'll rest in a few minutes. Thank you for your offer." Then he carefully picked up the small bundle of herbs in his jaws and headed toward Snow, who he had heard yelp earlier and seen with this stranger from the corner of his eye and assumed that she was the sister he was referring to. As he walked, he addressed Shadow quietly. "I appreciate your offer to help, although for the moment my only suggestion is that you check on your sister often as she heals, so that her wounds don't get infected, and make sure that she gets a lot of rest and food." A flicker of worry passed through Tarkutt; he knew that recovery would be a food-intensive feat. Hopefully, he thought, this integration wouldn't take up too many resources.
