[Tifa looks at the branches, then looks at him, her tongue flitting out to lick at her nose as she already feels the discomfort. Maybe she won't mind the taste or the feel of them now that she's a wolf? She's certainly never had to or wanted to bite at branches before...

But she isn't going to question it. This wolf is more important.]

I'll start at the bottom.

[Tifa kneels right down against the dirt and gently shoves her nose in through some of the branches, getting a better look at the pup as it stares back at her.

With the gentlest voice, she tries to calm it down.]

It's okay. I know you're scared, but we're going to help you. It might hurt a little bit, but we promise that it'll all be over soon, and we'll take you back home.

[There's a little "arf" in return, and it tips its head at her, then at Eustace as Tifa grabs a small bundle of the branches gnaws them clean off.]
