【 Zachella Claw 】
Raven: The Mistress in Black
The female gingerly pours some liquid onto her wound. The pain is immense. Zachella's desire to flee was overwhelming, but she held herself back. The liquid flowed off her arms, washing some of the blood away. This made her notice the blood stained coat of the blonde.
"I'm sorry about that -- your coat I mean -- it must've been hard to acquire." She managed.
The tourniquet helped slow the bleeding, but it was still quite ghastly. This was, however, not the first time she injured herself this badly. She recalled being chased up a tree by some wildcat shapeshifters. They were calling out things like, "Come down and join us for dinner!", and "Raven soup!". She had planned on jumping down after she reached the top, shapeshifting into her raven form and escaping them, but before she was ready to leap, the cats had begun violently shaking the tree. She lost her balance and fell, hitting her head and causing a gash to form above her right brow bone. Thankfully, she fell into a bush and was momentarily concealed. With quick thinking, she drew in a breath and howled, mimicking the sound of a wolf. This set the cats off ease and they high tailed out of there, not willing to risk it. She managed to crawl a few paces and found a plant known for its medicinal properties. She ripped off the leaves, careful to not damage the root, and chewed it into a paste. After applying it to her wound, it healed quickly leaving a small scar in its place.

She scans the area around her and notices the same plant a few yards away. Zac beckons towards her crows and they pick up on her intentions. A couple of them swoops down and each picks a leaf and brings it to her. She thanks them and chews up the leaves, applying the paste onto her shoulder. The pain immediately lessens, and she breathes a sigh of relief.
"Yes, dinner would be nice," She calls to the blonde.
A gust of cold wild blows by them, and she shivers. Looking at her tattered dress she feels embarrassed. She could see the fireflies start to emerge, dancing around them. The night takes on a whimsical feel and she feels glad to have this young lady's company.
