wolf boy (amasai)

Frightened Pup

Rantaros pov

I carried the small boy back to the my cottage outside the forest that I planned to stay in for the week. I expected that it would take me some time to find some proof of the things that existed in the sailors journal. I didn't expect that I'd find it on the first day!

I took him inside and placed him down gently on the bed. He was trembling fearfully. I took a closer look at him. He was small. Much smaller than a wolfkin is supposed to be. He had navy hair with fluffy ears and a tail that wrapped around his body anxiously.

My eyes landed on his foot and I frowned. The poor kid needs stitches or he might bleed to death!

I grabbed my first aid kit and reached out to the boy. He yelped and backed away with tears in his eyes.

"easy puppy" I muttered softly "I just want to help you. Can you please let me help you"

He nodded shakely. I gave him a reassuring smile before taking a seat beside him.

I gently unravelled the bloody bandages and pulled out the disinfectant. I dapped at the open wound.

He let out a painful yelp.

"there there puppy. Your so brave" I gently stoked his ears. That seemed to calm him.

I cleaned up his wound. Then I got started on the stitching. That's when the real screaming match began. I actually had to pin him down in order to stitch him up. His painful whimpers did make me feel bad though.

By the end of it the small wolfkin was asleep. I tucked him into bed and sighed. This little guys really afraid of me. I wonder if there's some way I can get him to trust me...
