oo3 :: Wolf and Misplaced Trust

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{Here is Horo, standing on the Plane and clutching a small, unremarkable satchel that seems to be full of something.

However, Horo is completely naked, and looking quite upset. Her tail is swishing back and forth anxiously, and she's grumbling like she had been growling a moment ago.}

That idiot. Calling back for me to pay for his wares. Ungrateful little whelp!

{Horo snorts, placing the satchel's long string around her neck, holding it that way instead and looking out to the Plane}

I am in a bit of a predicament. Would anyone be so kind as to lend me bandages or spare cloth?

[Drops and reappears with a Chuba, handing it to her wordlessly. then drops again and returns with a few rolls of linen in tow]

{When he comes back she's still checking out the Chuba like "wow neat" instead of putting it on, but she grins}

Thank you, kind sir! Lawrence will be glad to receive these. Or, at least, not bleeding terribly.

[lamb_of_gold]

Do you need water as well?

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

I do not. I need only to bandage him before I take him back to the Merchants' Guild where he will be taken care of better.

[lamb_of_gold]

Then those will do well. I suggest you cover yourself, as well, if only to avoid exposure,

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Ah, humans are sensitive about that, I had forgotten.

{She tugs it on, smiling} Fufufu, it's because humans don't have enough fur, I suppose, but it is funny all the same.

[lamb_of_gold]

Perhaps not, but I was taking your safety into account. There are those who would not pass up one such as yourself in such a state of undress

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

They would find a wolf harder to take than they thought.

{She stretches with a yawn} Ah, but I could not change to that other form right away, I am sure. It would be too tiring.

[lamb_of_gold]

A shapeshifter?

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. I may shift forms between this and my true one, but that is all. I am a clever wolf, so I am able to take a human form if I wish.

[lamb_of_gold]

Ah. I recall reading of legends that speak to that.

So what may I call you, Lady Wolf?

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Horo. I am Horo, the Wise Wolf of Yoitsu.

And you, kind sir?

[lamb_of_gold]

A pleasure to meet you, Horo. I am Mu.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

A pleasure as well! And thank you again for these bandages. If I can, I will wash them, and if not, I will repay you.

[lamb_of_gold]

Take your time.

What happened that would necessitate them?

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Ah...Foolish youngsters, mostly.

Because I made a promise to a village long ago, I watched over their wheat fields for many hundreds of years, and I became their harvest goddess even though I am nothing as esteemed as that. But with the rise of this "Church", they wish to drive the "pagan" gods and practices away, which includes me. This town's church wishes to kill me, but Lawrence and I were escaping. He was stabbed in the side, but because of that, I took care of the humans that dared stand against me.

[lamb_of_gold]

I see. Something similar happened in my world very long ago. With one such as you watching over him, I'm sure your friend will live to see another day.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

That idiot had better! He promised to take me to my homeland, and I have earned him more riches than he expected, so I will not allow him to take this promise lightly!

[lamb_of_gold]

[Resists a chuckle, but allows the smile] Your unwavering support will have him on his feet in no time, I think.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{Crossing her arms with a snort} I would hope so. We still have business to be done.

[contract_star]

[Here's Hei, looking a bit roughed up.]

Horo? Hold on.

[Runs off to get his first-aid kit from the kitchen, since he can't exactly go back to his world quite yet. Comes back only a few minutes later.]

Here.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

{She takes the kit hesitantly, humbling with the plastic latch} What manner of a contraption is this?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah? What happened?

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

My friend Lawrence was stabbed after the Church started to chase us because I'm a "pagan goddess" or some nonsense such as that! I even had to change into my true form to chase them off.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Goodness! How terrible!

Oh dear, if I was there I would be able to help more...just wait a moment. [Drops from the plane and comes back with a basket of herbal salves and clean cloths.]
