Mal's head tilted curiously, pausing in the process of stabilizing her leg. Her brows furrowed, face scrunching as she tried to absorb this information. Mal wasn't obtuse or lacking in any mental capacity but her view - as was her pack's - was fairly limited when it came to 'others.' Not a human wizard, but a human with... markings? Spots? But clearly, they did something. It was hard to fit him, she decided that if his spots did things that he might as well be a human wizard. It was practically the same.
"That feeling when an animal decides to fight," she rotates her hand, as if trying to turn it out of her mouth. "Ah, interesting. That is the word," she finally adds, her dark eyes, diligently scanning Lefiute.
Mala watched Lefiute sniff up her leg, her eyebrows lowering slowly as he moved higher and higher. She had a sneaking suspicion that was then confirmed by Fallon's reprimand. She gave a throaty laugh, "I forget the behaviors of my cousins." She seemed amused rather than anything.
With a few deft, hard movements she finished the wrapping of her leg. Her face twitched with the flicker of a wince, her teeth flashing in displeasure. It had been a long time since she'd had an injury so serious. Granted, it would only last a few days if she were smart enough to take care of her leg, but even those few days would interfere with her eating. While at any other time, a few months without food wouldn't be a terrible issue, but without the meat and blood of prey to support her kind's magic and continue the regeneration of her body, her healing would be greatly impeded.
This presented a problem. "So, you help me, but not to leave me to die," she stated slowly, looking up into Fallon's face cautiously. "If I do not eat regularly, my healing will be slowed," she added, although her clarification skills were a little lacking. Her kind was a mix of rough, primitive words and a lot of body language. Details were afforded to markings of where the herd of deer was last scene and for little else. But humans often seemed to need a lot of details.
"Not for free. When I heal, I can help with a task or some such," she added again, a little hurriedly, as if she'd meant to add it, but forgot for a moment.
