She rolled her head over on her paws to look at the male, "Really? and there's me thinking he'd just given me a hug.....way to state the obvious" she grumbled, wincing as he began tending to it. "CAREFUL!" she snarled weakly before her head flopped to her paws again. Her mind began to wander as she got sleepier and sleepier, his licking at the wound painful but with the bloodloss and not having taken any of the kill yet, her body needed to shut down a little. She dozed a little, dreaming of the time when she was a different wolf all together, of times when her father would lay with her and just talk all the night through.

His ears flicked back at her outburst, but he didn't move away. Instead Ralastor waited until she seemed to have calmed down and continued to clean out the wound. After a while, it seemed to have been thoroughly taken care of to the best of his ability, so he stopped and simply sat there beside her.
He pondered for a moment and then leaned in to "clean" her more - but delivered his attention to the base of her skull in a somewhat affectionate touch. This he did without saying anything: she seemed like she might be sleeping and maybe it would help her to relax. The more relaxed she was, the more likely she'd be to accept his advances.

After a while Layla woke, her body somewhat refreshed, she was confused to wake with the strange male licking her head. Normally she would have turned on him and snapped but there was something about the 'tenderness' of it that made her waver. Instead she tried to get up and move to eat, her own stomach now in painful knots.
The first thing she noticed as that her whole shoulder had stiffened up, not quite painfully bt it made it difficult to move it at all, the second was that it was now clean and no longer bleeding, she felt disgusted at herself that she was covered in grime and blood but for the moment the food was what mattered, she could go find a clear stream later.
She crawled over to the carcass of the stag, eyeing it, then Ralastor "Eat ..... you might as well.. while you're here" she said, as close to offering to share as she was going to get.

Ralastor's stomach gurgled eagerly, and he just barely restrained a frown. If only the needs of his body were easier to subdue. Still, an invitation was an invitation, so he mumbled a "thank you" and went for the carcass. He was careful to eat slowly, leaving the choice organs for the female. It was submissive, which was not his favourite role to play, but it was also likely to win her over just a little more.
He ate until he was only about half full, and then backed away, leaving more than enough for her to eat. It was important she not think he was only interested in her for the meat. "Are you feeling any better?" he asked, licking his muzzle clean of the blood and enjoying it all too well.

Layla ate fast, bolting the mean down as fast as she could, she'd been alone too long and had to eat fast so many times she couldn't count, so bolting this meat down was second nature to her. He might have left her the choice parts on purpose but Layla would have fought for them anyway well, she'd have tried in her injured state.
It wasn't long before she was full, tongue creeping out to lick at the blood on her own muzzle. She eyed Ralastor when he questioned her and was going to snap back but something stopped her, he felt a little bad that she'd been mean to him, he'd helped her and all she did was snap but she couldn't change her nature just like that. "A little" she put simply. There, that was almost pleasant wasn't it? Sitting up painfully from her laying position she grunted and stretched as best she could, feeling very icky and dirty, she wanted to get clean and she should find a stream soon but she wasn't about to turn her back on Ralastor, even though he had seemed to be nothing other than kind to her, she still had some misgivings but that was just how she treated everyone.

She was a prickly one, wasn't she? Ralastor had the feeling he needed to choose his next words and actions very carefully if he wanted his plan to be successful. With the immediacy of his hunger dulled, it was a bit easier to thin, but also easier to lose himself in the scent of her season. With each inhale he had to subdue his body, which longed to bow in play, to bump up against her, to court with tosses and tilts of his head. His instincts were telling him to act like an absolute fool, and although he'd never had anyone to explain the ways of wooing a lady, that certainly didn't seem appropriate.
He examined her, trying to hide his sharper, more predatory interest behind a coy expression. "I'd like to go with you a while," Ralastor blurted out suddenly, his awkward teenager approach only half intentional. Damn! Damn the smell of her, it was fogging his mind. "What I mean is," he amended, "There are those who would take advantage of you in your injured state. To be honest, well - I like you. I don't want to see you killed."

Layla flicked an ear at him, she could see his nose working and it made her feel uncomfortable as well as slightly giggly, NO.. giggly wasn't her style.. she wouldn't give in to stupid feelings like that.... Her features grew hard and she turned her head to grooming rather than look at him.
Her head snapped up at his blurted out words though "you what?! ..." she said, her voice dangerously cold for a moment. Then he corrected himself, now.. that was better, more respectful towards her. "Well, since i can't hunt til i'm healed i guess i'll have to let you stick around" she said haughtily, the merest of amused smiles placing across her muzzle.

He smiled, and although he had no experience with such things, he tried his best to make it a charming smile. "Sounds like a deal then - I'll stay until you can hunt and defend yourself again, and then after that it's up to you whether I stay or go." As if. He would certainly go - and then come back for the pups. Ralastor had no interest in being around this testy female longer than was biologically necessary. Once he was confident the pregnancy had taken and she wasn't going to stupidly die and lose him all this hard work, his plan was to ditch her.
Wandering closer, he nodded at her grooming. "Want any help with that?" Think suave, Ralastor, think suave.

"Fine" snorted Layla, she wasn't about to admit she liked him, not even a little but she'd agree to the terms without thinking much about them. She looked at him, giving him a hard stare when he offered to help groom her. Normally she's have almost literally bitten his head off for the mere suggestion of him touching her but... he's already touched her several times without her giving her permission and i she was honest to herself, she was somewhat limited in her movement to groom.
"alright but no funny business" she snapped, a lip gently curling as if she was angry, the rest of her face betraying the fact it was just a front. "Just...watch it, or i'll rip a chunk from your other ear"

It took all his self control to stop himself from showing teeth at the comment about his ear. If there was one thing he was sensitive about, it was that old wound. Ralastor inhaled deeply, forced himself to calm. She was teasing. Trying to be playful. He couldn't waste all this effort.
"Of course not," he said, trying to smile. It was perhaps a little less sincere sounding than the rest of his false statements so far. That said, he settled down to help her clean the blood and dirt from her pelt, hoping that something about being in season would make her more receptive to his advances than she'd been so far. With her attitude, Ralastor was beginning to doubt he'd make any progress at all towards his true goal.

Layla saw something twitch across his face for just a split second an was more intrigued than before. She sighed and nodded, turning her head away from him a little as he moved forwards to help her groom.
"Look.... i'm ... well ... not the best at being social alright" she muttered to him before closing her eyes, she just.. couldn't let another wolf close..not after..well .. he tried not to think about that. She was softening to this male though, even if she didn't show it much.

Although a cruel, sarcastic retort crossed his mind in response to her admission, Ralastor kept quiet. Of course, there was also the increasing presence of genuinely amorous feelings within the young male, courtesy of the cloud of pheromones he was subjecting himself to by being so near to her. He hummed a half-reply, a sort of "Yes, I see," or maybe, "Oh, it's okay," but without any actual words. Curling up next to her, he risked more contact than he might have dared with a more level head. As he ran his tongue over her dirtied coat, which must otherwise have been a beautiful cream, his internalized desires became less and less coherent.
After a while, he mumbled, "It's not so bad, is it, to spend time with your own kind? We're not meant to be alone, you know." And although Ralastor hadn't intended it, the quiet purr of seduction managed to invade his tone of voice on the last few words of his supposedly platonic small-talk.

Layla closed her eyes to the rhythm of his tongue grooming her, it felt good to be cared for again but... the flash of memory shot into her mind and made her flinch away from Ralastor, her eyes full of sudden fear for him "I...but..." she couldn't get her words out. She wanted to tell him she couldn't get close to another wolf in case... something like what happened to her father happened again, her young mind had twisted the memory in her mind and made her think she had been the one that had killed her father.
"Ralastor...i don't want to hurt you" she said, flinching from pain in her shoulder this time as she moved back towards him "I'm...dangerous to be around" she added, her hormones making her mind clouded, her body wanted to be near this wolf, this male, but her mind tried to fight it... until it gave up and she let herself be taken by the moment and nuzzled him a little

"Don't worry," he rumbled, suddenly feeling very masculine, "I'm pretty tough. I can handle a little danger." His smile slowly grew to a grin (with just a touch of smirk) as she nuzzled him, seeming to surrender to the moment.
When next he awoke, Ralastor, his head clear and his plan in motion, would slip from the side of the female he'd vowed to take care of, only to return when she had something more he take from her: pups.
