He shook his head softly. "It's nothing... I'll be fine." he murmured, keeping the light pressure on her neck until the bleeding would ease. Though when he felt the blood being cleaned from his eye, he didn't argue. He would probably need the cut above his eye to be restitched, but he didn't want her to worry about him in her condition. Besides, he had worse than just ripped stitches before. From what he could feel on Morgana's neck, there were two fang marks, as if the male from before was trying to drain her blood... "Do... do you know why he attacked you?"

She could feel the blood easing up thanks to the pressure he was applying to the wound, but it didn't help with the pain. "No, I don't. I was out hunting for myself, and I felt like I was being watched. When I pulled myself out of the river, that is when he attacked me." she started crying a little, closing her eyes as she sniffled, "I'm so happy I didn't bring my clams with me, who knows what he would have done if I did..." she whimpered out, the thought of anyone hurting her pups bringing tears to her eyes.

"Cobwebs should help heal the wound while poopy seeds can reduce the pain..." he murmured to himself, mentally noting to find both supplies as soon as possible. He had forgotten how fragile a life could be; how easily the living could feel physical pain. It tore at his heart to think of the condition Morgana was in. "Don't think about it that way..." he whispered, pulling his cheek to hers in hopes that it would ease the tears the same way it did with the blood. "What matters is that your pups are safe and that they still have you... H-had I arrived any later-" he cut himself off and shudered slightly, forcing the idea from his head. "I... I have no idea how I would go on if you were gone..." he spoke hoarsely, eyes closing as he shook softly.

Despite the pain, Morgana felt her heart leap in joy at him saying that. She nuzzled him as best she could, a soft smile on her face, "I feel the same..." she whispered to him, incredibly happy he was here, though she would have asked for a better situation.

Ketsu smiled lightly and, for the first time in a long time, felt as if his body was pumped full of life. He softly nuzzled her cheek and curled up next to her. "As long as you're alright, I will always be fine."

Morgana continued to smile and nuzzle him, her tail curling around his and her wings folding down over his larger back. She felt incredibly safe, her neck didn't hurt as much, but the pain was pretty non-existent with her focused on being close to Ketsu.

Ketsueki couldn't resist a small, happy sigh at the light embrace of Morgana's wing on his back. His chin brushed over her head softly before he brought his muzzle next to hers. "Do you feel well enough to walk?" he asked softly. Though he would have enjoyed to lay next to Morgana as long as he could, he knew the safest place for her right now would be in shelter. But if it would take a couple of hours or a whole night for her to recover her energy, then he would stay with her as long as he needed to make sure she returned to her den safely.

Morgana could have laid there all day with him, cuddled close together. But she knew he was right, she needed some place safe to heal, "You're right, and my clams are fine with my brother for now, besides, they would know something is wrong because of how stressed I feel." she said, slowly uncurling herself from around him and standing up.

He slowly rose to his paws, keeping close to Morgana and providing a shoulder to lean on if she needed. He smiled thoughtfully. "Depsite your injury, you still have the greatest concern for your pups," he purred admiringly with a small, reasurring nuzzle. "Well, I wouldn't want them to worry about the whereabouts of their mother. Is your den far from here?"

"I am not sure I want to go back to my den just yet, just incase he is following, I don't want lead him to my pups." she said. She would need a place to heal enough for the rest of the day, but then she would fly back to her den, that way she could lose the male that attacked her.

He nodded in understanding. Even if the demonic male wasn't watching, that didn't mean someone else was. There was also the problem of leaving behind a trail of blood if they did go directly to her den. "Perhaps an abandoned den along the rivier, or an old wolf den..." he offered, ready to travel in what ever direction she planned on heading. Anywhere that would keep Morgana safe for the night.

"Yes, another den would be good, my bleeding should have stopped by morning." she said softly, letting Ketsu lead the way, still too weak and in pain to really concentrate on finding a suitable place to rest.

Ketsu hummed softly, padding at a steady pace as to not rush Morgana as well as the fact that he couldn't see what was in front of him. He navigated slowly around the trees, oblivious to the bark that scratched his sides in his determination to help Morgy. He paused briefly at the aging smell of rabbit, carefully feeling the ground with his paws. He sighed and continued on, finding that the old rabbit hole was too small for an otter, much less two elders. However, his hope was rekindled as he caught the scent of opium. He followed the scent before coming upon a group of plants. He chewed off a couple of stems before turning back to Morgana and dipping his head in apology for the delay.
Ketsueki walked beside Morgana for a few more moments until he nearly tripped over himself as the ground fell to a sharp slope. Backing up, he knelt down and gave the ground a cautious sniff. It was a wolf den, but the scent was so stale that he could hardly smell it over the flowers in his mouth. "Will this be alright for the night?" he asked around the stems. "It hasn't been used in months."

Morgana followed Ketsu at a steady pace, though it was slow. She stopped when he went to get the flowers, glad for the rest, but followed after him again. She stopped when he did and looked up when he said he didn't smell any wolves in the den, and she took a tentative sniff herself, looking around since she could see, "I don't see anything inside, it is safe." she announced.

Grateful for Morgana's sight, he took a wary step inside the den to test how stable it was. Much to his surprise, the den was not long and narrow, but short and hollowed out at the back. He sniffed for any insects or snakes before setting the two flowers down and stepping to the side, allowing room for Morgana to enter.
