PARTY DRESS - open; joining

Perhaps she can be considered starstruck--most creatures in the Ascendants are young or are males, so she is unaccustomed to the presence of beautiful and mature women. So Peri decides to stick to what she knows. "I am going to have to bandage this as the glass is the only thing keeping the wound from bleeding profusely," is her reply, with only a faint blush in the wake of Empyrah's flattery. She takes a moment to gather her supplies before gently grasping the shard with her teeth and yanking it out (the lack of opposable thumbs makes some tasks more difficult than they could be). The lovely she-wolf wastes very little time in cleaning and dressing the cheetah's injured paw. "How does that feel?" she asks, straightening herself so that she no longer kneels at the paws of the unfamiliar woman. If it hurts, Peri might offer a couple of poppy seeds for the pain, but she would rather avoid giving out drugs, if possible.
