Little Griffin

Ryu's eyes widened as he held up Little Gem for Ailsa to take hold of. Though Ryu was quite well-read, when it came to matters of health and healing, there was no way that he could possibly match up to Ailsa. 

Ailsa's panic soon gave way to calm as she analyzed the situation. Panic would do them no good at this moment. 

A strong soul pressure came from her, enveloping the little cub as she continued to cough. 

Little Gem, hacked and wheezed, her little mouth continuously pushing out volumes of black blood. 

But, after a long while, Ailsa just continued to hold her, allowing the little one to cough as much as she pleased. 

Ryu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Why wasn't Ailsa doing anything?

He still hadn't quite gotten into the habit of always reading Ailsa's thoughts, so his subconscious mind caused him to leave his own self in the dark. Maybe one of these days he would be able to accept these things with more ease.
