The wound had weakened him, she could both see and smell the sickness that clung to his skin. It was in the dull gleam of the eyes, in the feeble voice, in the weary breaths. Shadow sighed silently within, cursing her luck for finding an injured horse when she knew little to nothing about injuries and healing. It was not within her range of expertise to treat patients, nor did she have much skill when it came to sooth and support anxious strangers.

She started to nod as his name was revealed to her, but stopped in mid-motion as the sound of wings on air reached her ears. Eyes narrowed as the black raven turned to stare at the white mare that came circling down towards the ground, suspicious yet remaining where she was; were they comrades? It didn't seem like it, even though the concern of the young girl would have suggested otherwise. Perhaps she simply had a gentler heart than the crow, who's chest already had been scarred too deeply to let others too close - especially not strangers who's allegiance she knew nothing of.

Regarding the dove and the unicorn for a moment, Shadow eventually nodded to herself. Why not. She had offered refuge to one; why not to the other as well?
"I know you must be tired" she said as she turned back to Virus, "but this is no place to rest. Too many pass through here, too many predators feast on the ones who are weak or foolish enough to linger. It would be best if you followed me south; we have healers there, and plenty of food and water. You will be welcome, and can stay as long as you like."

"Of course, you are welcome to join as well" she added with a glance towards the pale bird, an afterthought that wasn't quite as sudden as it might seem.

"Come now, on your feet." Without caring about eventual protests she stepped in closer to the dark stallion, her black wing neatly folded against an equally black hide as she tried to make him stand - ready to support him if needed, and motioning to the nameless girl to aid him on the other side.

"Don't worry" she tried to reassure them both, her voice slightly milder than before. "The Dragon's Throat isn't as harsh a place to live as it might sound; they have good hearts there, and you will be most welcome."

Caught a bird and let it go, had a rope and don't you know
When I pulled it down, it settled on the ground
Caught a bird and in a trap, had a lot to give back
When the sun came by you opened up your eyes
