Elias wasn't sure why they were helping especially considering, but Ophelia had asked him not to ask questions and so he wasn't going to. She was his sister, his one and only baby sister, so he was going to do what she asked him to do. Kneeling beside the female snow leopard, he slipped his arms around her and got her to look at him. "You'll be alright." he told her, comfortingly. "It's gonna hurt, but Ophelia's good at what she does. She'll help you." he promised. Still confused, he wasn't sure why he was promising, but hey, if it kept her from moving, he'd do what needed to be done.
