Arie

Breeding Prompt

Kar whimpers softly as she limps her way to the healers’ den. She had wounded her paw while hunting in the mountains. A foolish mistake, in her opinion, but the ice was much more slippery than she thought and she had taken a small slip. Her paw was swollen to the size of a small melon and was sore to the touch. She peers into the dimly lit healers’ den and calls out softly. “Hello? Is anyone here?” She asks, looking around but not daring walk further for the sake of her paw.

Arie walks around the corner, caring a couple of herbal branches in his mouth. He places them in a wooden bucket and walks hastily over to Kar. “What happened to you?” He asks, taking a look at her paw.

Kar shrugs sheepishly. “I just had a bit of a fall while hunting. It’s nothing really but…well…it hurts a lot actually.” She admits, looking quite embarrassed. She lifts her paw, allowing Arie to get a better look at it. “Is it bad? When will it heal?” She asks, audibly worried.

Arie sniffs and licks the wound after studying it for a long moment. “It’s just a sprain. A nasty sprain at that though. But it’ll certainly heal.” Arie moves his muzzle up to Kar’s face and gives her a gentle lick on the cheek. “That means, however, that you need plenty of bed rest.” He whispers into her ear, knowing that Kar hates not being able to do anything but finding slight humour in that situation.

Kar drops her head. “I can’t rest. That’s boring.” She murmurs sadly, looking up at Arie with big sad eyes. Kar was always one to live life in a very fast paced manner. She hated not being able to explore or help out around the pride. It felt wrong and it made the days drag out.

Arie’s heart ached at the sight of Kar’s sad eyes. “Look, what about you rest here at the clinic? And maybe, just maybe, if your paw is doing better and if you take it easy enough, then I might let you help me here?” He offers, smiling a hopeful smile.

“I think I’d be able to do that.” Kar responds quickly, as if Arie was going to change his mind. She loved the idea of helping around the clinic. It was something new and exciting.

“Well perfect. Is there anything you need me to bring from your den while you stay here?” Arie asks, nowhere near ready to let Kar limp of and possibly damage her paw further.

Kar thinks about it for a moment before grinning sheepishly. “No, all I need is you.” She flirts, blushing a little at the thought.

The fur around Arie’s face is thin and light, allowing Kar to see the whole face of the white lion turn a soft pink colour. He mumbles incoherently before clearing his throat a little. “Well, I guess you’ve got me then. And…I guess you can keep me.” He mumbles embarrassedly.
