We watched over the dog together, there was no apparent change either negative or positive.

Unconscious we couldn't give him water. We had pressed clean cloth against his wounds which when we changed had stopped bleeding.. soon I fell asleep..

I smiled and without thinking hugged Recoil, surprisingly she smiled and hugged me back..

I tended to the fire, made us tea and some food, then wandered around the camp clearing my mind.
