Eclipse nodded, relaxing a little bit at that, hoping he could eventually figure out what to do it life.

Felix tugged at his bandages a bit. He’d bound them too tight and they were digging into his skin.
“If you want to sleep, you can. I’m in too much pain to doze off, so I’m happy to keep watch.”

Eclipse shook his head, "No.. I'm too on edge to sleep right now…"

"That's fair," Felix replied, "Me too, if I'm being honest. That was a lot scarier than I expected…"

Eclipse shook his head, "They're usually worse…."

Felix flinched a little at the notion.
"I've never fought a half-wolf before. I didn't know what to expect," he admitted, "I've always stuck to the shadows. Most of the people I've killed didn't know what hit them."

Eclipse nodded, "Understandable…" he murmured, not seeming to notice the other's unease.

"Look, I will try with all I am to protect you, but… but if most half-wolves are worse than that? I don't know how much I can actually do," Felix sighed.
There was an edge of frustration to his voice. He was hurting so bad physically that his mind was starting to cloud over too.

"I… I could maybe try to teach you?" suggeste Eclipse nervously, his voice barely there as he said it.

“Teach me what? How to fight them?” Felix asked, a little surprised.

"Yeah… at least.. I… I could try?"

“I would appreciate it,” Felix said, “Once I’ve recovered some, that is.”

Eclipse nodded, "Yeah…"

"I may spend some of tonight communing with the earth. It will help me regain my magical strength, and I may be able to heal faster," Felix explained, "So don't worry too much about me. I've got things under control, even if barely."

Eclipse nodded, still seeming uncomfortable.

Felix turned his head to see Eclipse again. Gods, he was sore.
“You alright?”

"Yeah… I'm okay.." he said softly, lost in thought about how he would live up to his offer, and confused over the sense that this was wrong, not realizing that even after everything, those wolves were his pack.

"Okay, if you say so," Felix said, "Let me know if you wanna talk about anything though."
He let down his hair again, running his fingers through the sleek, black strands.
(Alright, what's our next plot point?)

Do you wanna start?

Felix had been laying towards the front of the cart. Not much had happened today after the skirmish, which he was grateful for.
But then he heard the low growl of rolling thunder in the distance. At that, he sat a little more upright.
“Eclipse, we need shelter for the night,” he muttered, eying the dark clouds that were beginning to edge closer.

Eclipse nodded, watching the storm clouds warily, clearly not a fan o storms.
