"I'm still sorry." Riley says, sitting up, giving Shade a quick hug. "Oh, whoops. Sorry" He says, realizing he had gotten blood on Shade, and tries to wipe it off.

Shade gives a small,real but rare laugh. "It's alright.I'll just..uh...clean it later." He said softly,meaning that he'd preen it off later. He gently gave Riley a hug,wings and all. "Thank you for not getting to badly hurt." He murmured,truly glad that Riley was fairly alright and these wounds he could heal.

"Okay. Um... You're welcome?" Riley says, hugging him back. "Thank you for not killing him. Thank you, also, for being the best... Companion? Comrad?"

Shade nodded then whispered to him. "Friend.Friend is fine.As long as I'm only your friend." He trusted no one else as a friend.

"Friend? Friend!" Riley cheers, jumping up. "O-ouch." He smiles weakly, sitting back down, holding his side.

Shade smiled softly and reached a hand out,gently stroking his side before letting some black tendrils swirl from around his wrists and then gently soak into the wound and heal it from the inside to out.

Riley holds his breath, never having seen this magic power before, but the black tendrils looked similar to when- "Wait, wait, hold up. If it's using your soul like it does with portals or whatever, stop. I don't want your soul to disappear." Riley says, not wanting his friend to waste his soul on something trifle like a bite wound.

He shook his head. "I'm fine.My soul is fine,I just need to be careful if I tire it out or not." He kept it up and gently wove them around and then let them slip out as he finished. "There." He nodded in satisfaction.

Almon finally recovered from his shock went over to Rhia. You okay? He signed. Also, sorry I wasn't more helpful, let's just say I don't see all of that he gestured vaguely to Zaire and the others often.

She frowns, staring at the unconscious fox.
