Anxius watched the wolf leave the clearing. Malacia lay down next to Anxius and looked at his wound sadly. The blood continued to slowly ooze out of the wound, matting and ruining the fur around it, and eventually dripping onto the grass. She looked away and gazed off into the forest, waiting anxiously for the wolf to return. She avoided making eye contact with the the rabbit, who quietly glared at them, but made sure to not lose track of him in case he tried something. The two hyenas continued to wait around for the wolf, not saying anything to each other.

After a few minutes, the wolf finally returned with the herbs. Anxius' mood quickly dropped as the wolf explained the small predicament they had. He glared at the smiling wolf disapprovingly. Malacia glanced at Anxius and saw the expression on his face. For a moment she almost forgot her worries and stifled a giggle at his annoyance. She looked up at the wolf. "Perhaps I could do it? I don't really know how to work with this medicine, but I'm willing to learn," She said brightly. "I'm sure he'd feel more comfortable that way as well," She continued, hiding another smile.
