Kid Kid woke up shifting groggily before sitting up, "S-Shetan?" She blinked blearily, looking around for the large islander before standing, leaving her spear upon the ground to move towards the sound of the now familiar mans voice, "Something wrong Shetan?"

Shetan Shetan started to crouch, pausing with a grimace as the movement caused a flare of pain in his wounded thigh. Clenching his jaw, as much in irritation as pain, he reached to press a hand firmly over the wound and released his breath with a slow hiss, shaking his head. "Nothing serious. Surprised me. Toss me my pack?" He shifted to rest on one knee, leaving his injured thigh raised. For once, he was glad for the dimmed moonlight and almost wished that it was a true new moon already. At least he would be harder to make out. Relying on the tall grass to obscure his present state, he looked toward Kid, waiting to see if she would comply with his request without too many ackward questions.

Kid
Kid smiled in amusement, it was dim, true, but not nearly as dim as he evidently thought it was, "Went for a dip in the stream and left you gear here, dinna'e ye?" Her laugh was musical as she held the pack just out of Shetans reach, teasing him good naturedly, "There' legends of a red wolf that prowls this neck of the woods, your lucky you didn't run into it, I've seen the bodies itleaves behind." She left the pck within Shetans reach as she stolled back to her roll and rested on it, waiting atiently for Shetan.

Shetan Shetan allowed himself a rueful chuckle at the girl's amusement. So much for tall grass and dimmed light. It didn't necessarily discomfort the therian though, and she wasn't shying away like some lasses might. In fact, she teased the large man with his pack, holding it just out of reach for a moment. At her warning, he stifled a smirk, his brow furrowing thoughtfully. He scooped up his pack as she dropped it to return to her bedroll, contemplating several options that lay before him. He could tell her that he had seen such and claim to have confronted the creature, or simply shrug aside the warning altogether. He glanced to his thigh, irritation flashing over his features briefly at the gash there, inflicted by that very red wolf. His lips wanted to curl back over his teeth in a snarl. Schooling his expression, the large man flipped open his pack and pulled his trews from the top layer of clothing. Letting the pack fall aside again, he pulled on the clothing and moved into the proper circle of the fireless camp to sit on the ground opposite her and pulled his pack before him. Rolling one leg of the trews up to reveal his gashed thigh, he dug in his pack to extract a small, sturdy jar. "Think I'm considerably bigger than a little red wolf, don't you?" he asked archly, as the corners of his lips quirked just slightly. Pulling the stopper of the jar free, he hunched forward slightly to sniff the contents with a grimace before straightening quickly with a shake of his head. Extracting a meager sample of the ointment within, he smeared it over his injury, grimacing still at the sharp smell. A bit more was applied to his clawed wrist before he restoppered the jar and sought a strip of cloth from his pack to bind around his thigh, watching Kid from the corner of his eye.

Kid Kid smirked slightly, "Just a bit." She took sniff of the air and perked aneyebrow, other wise silently watching Shetan with interest and barely concealed glances towards the edges of the camp, evidently spooked that he may have tangled with said wolf. "Evidently not big enough to keep things at bay from the looks of that wound." she smirked playfully, "Need me to help lick your wounds? I've gotsome things with me that help heal wounds as well... "she miles, offering up a paice of cloh, coated with a slick substance that smelt faintly acrid but sweet at the same time.

Shetan Shetan shifted to settle more comfortably, allowing his attention to stray from his injuries to the young lass. She cast discreet looks to the edges of the camp occasionally, supporting her uncle's claims. Her playful comment and teasing stirred the therian from his thoughts. He wrinkled his nose at the odd smelling concoction on her cloth, before perking an eyebrow with a smirk. "Oh, I wouldn't say that. There's no red wolf in our camp, is there?" Leaning forward slightly, he looked to the slick, smelly substance and sniffed again. "Hmm... perhaps. What is it?"

Kid Kid smiled and winked, "Some local herbs..to be honest mymother made it and told me she'd teach me some day.. Evidently when I get back from the looks of it. I have a jar of this stuff." she leaned forewards and gently began to tend to Shetan's wound smirking at him and licking the bandage, "there, hopefully that'll help." She leaned back and eyed the tall man, now that she was away from hef family she could actually make an attempt at flirting with Shetan.

Shetan Eyebrow still perked, Shetan leaned back slightly and stretched his leg out before him to allow the lass to try her oinment as well. She had a gentle touch, and he had the consolation that by the time he changed again, it should be gone. No nasty stuff in his fur. His eyebrows rose slightly higher as she leaned to lick the bandage and smirked. With a chuckle, he reached to ruffle her hair, nodding. "I think so, little one," he replied slowly, allowing his hand to linger as his fingertips brushed her jawline. Shifting, he withdrew his hand and stretched slightly. "I think we have a bit more time before we should be moving on. Rest." The large man offered an encouraging smile, nodding toward her bedroll nearby. "I'll keep an eye out for your wolf."

Kid Kid bit her lower lip and fought to keep her face from reddening to a deep red. Her face and ears burnt as she nodded and she quietly slipped into her bedroll, casting a soft glance to Shetan before laying down to face him, thankfull for the lack of suffecient light to show her sudden jolt. She tingled. Everywhere. And she liked it. She drifted off to sleep with a soft smile on her face, "good eve Shetan."

Shetan Shetan watched the girl as she retreated to her bedroll and bid him a good eve with a smile. Shifting to place his pack behind him, he leaned back to rest his head on it and folded his hands over his stomach. There was little chance that anything would intrude on the camp, so he allowed himself to relax, waiting for morning to come as he watched his human companion sleep. As the sun rose over the eastern horizon, Shetan stirred from where he lay, stretching slowly. Rising to kneel, he reached to shake Kid's shoulder lightly. "Wake up, lass." A quick rummage in his pack a bit of dried meat left from his trail rations. Rising to his feet, he began chewing a strip of meat and found his boots. Still chewing, he pulled them on and looked toward Kid to see if she had rose.

Kid Kid woke up with a slight smile and roused quickly, drawing a peice of smoked meat from her pack and likewise chewing it as she began to pack up her things promptly before looking over to shetan and blinking slightly before smiling, "Good morning.I would have been more thn happy to have taken a turn at the watch last eve." She eyed her spear and tied a small strand of leather and beads to it, a small red feather dangling frm the end of it. She smiled slightly turning the spear, it was adorned with a few other similar patterns, eachone evidently marking family member. She then returned her attentions to Shetan, eyeing his leg witha slight frown, "How is it?"

Shetan Shetan shrugged at the woman's response upon waking, an easy smile on his lips. "Sleep was not willing to return to me, so I thought it best to allow it to court you," he replied, watching her gather her things. He paused at her frown, one hand lowering to cover his injury through his breeches. It was sore, but he doubted that it would cause him much trouble. "Much improved. It won't hinder us." He put the remainder of his strip of meat into his mouth to chew and leaned to pick up his pack and shouldered it. "Ready?"

Kid Kid nodded slightly in understanding before she rose and picked up her own pack and snagged her spear, "After you." She slipped the pack over her shoulders and then laid the spear easily across her shoulders with a grin as she stood besides Shetan.

Shetan The tall therian set a brisk pace. He clearly wanted to cover as much ground as he could, while the sun still traveled across the sky with them. His body was still rebelling against the schedule he was keeping, especially since he had slept the previous afternoon and fought during the night with no sleep before moving on. The red wolf's mark on him only made things worse. By noon, his leg ached dully. Sweat that had long since driven the man to abandon his vest, now stung his injury. He realized that it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. The young woman's remedy seemed to be working quite well, all things considered. He would have to thank her. Shetan slowed his pace slightly to look at the youth. She was injured as well, worse than he was. He didn't want her to fall behind, especially not after having taken the time and effort to fight over her. Her. A human! Besides, it gave him a reason to slow. Also a reason to remain human, part of him grumbled. Wrinkling his nose, Shetan dismissed the thought. The new moon was upon them and he couldn't change anyway. It was hardly her fault. Perhaps a few days would give him an opportunity to prepare her for the full moon. He wouldn't be locked in this skin, like some human. Again, Shetan wrinkled his nose, before reaching to catch the young woman's arm. He perked an eyebrow slightly, offering a look both curious and concerned. "Wish to stop for a brief rest?"

Kid Shetans brisk pace had startled her and she trailed behind him before settling into a pace of her own and easily kept with the lad with a smirk she looked down to her arm where Shetan had caught it. Her legs and most importantly her injury pained her to no end as the bones had yet time to heal properly, she smiled to Shetan then nodded, "If you wish." she unslung her Spear and Leaned against it with a smile.
