Spire • Male • He/Him • Adult Spire nods, walking slowly behind Rock. "Are you sure you're alright?" Though Spire had many cuts, a large gash down his torso and his ear and back paw were aching, Rock seemed to be the most beat up. "Don't walk too fast if it hurts" Spire gazes concerningly at the cat. Soon, Spire can see the rest of their group gathered up in the construction sight. Spire walks up to them, now limping due to his injured leg. "We've gotten into a little bit of trouble, anyone know how to heal?" Spire says with a sheepish smile.

Rock l Male l He/Him l Adult . Rock limped back to camp, both his paw and leg injured. His sides were bleeding and he had cuts and bruises througout hjs body. When they entered the site, Rock made it to the group before collapsing. Exhaustion overwhelmed him. "I'm alright. Dont worry, its a few cuts and bruises." He said, even though he knew it wasn't, part of Rock's pride was nit to show weakness to others and he wasnt going to start now. "Of anyone knows how to heal, help Spire first." Rock finished, before curling up and licking his wounds.

Spire • Male • He/Him • Adult "No, please don't. Rock I know it's hard for you to comprehend but you are currently badly injured. I bet you some bones are even broken. I'm not trying to be rude, but right now you need help and you have to accept that." Spire flicks his tail in annoyance, gazing down at Rocks broken body and his heavy breathing. "In fact, I learned some things from my brothers. Let me see your wounds." Spire steps forward, carefully sniffing Rock's bloody pelt. "Can I feel your stomach?" He asks.

Rock l Male l He/Him l Adult . Rock looked up to Spire, he carefully rolled over, allowing him to examine his bruised and probably broken ribs. He winced as he did so. "Its not that bad," he said, then added quickly, "Right?" Worry started to pour over him, panic filled his gaze. What if he was innjured forever? Or that he might never walk again? He laid his head on the grass, running the scenarios over and over in his head.

Spire • Male • He/Him • Adult Spire gently runs his paw along Rock's flank, prodding certain places. "From what I can feel, you have a few bones in your rib cage broken. The bones will take lots of time and rest to heal, but the cuts and bruises will be quick..." Spire begins to talk out loud, all his medical knowledge suddenly coming back to him. "I will clean and bandage your wounds, I can treat them for infection too... I'll use sticks to create a makeshift brace.... This will hopefully heal on its own as it doesn't seem too severe." Spire's eyes narrow in concentration, his paws tapping the ground as he thinks. "Don't move though, too much movement could cause a lung puncture and that's certainly beyond my healing capabilities." He blinks a few times and takes a deep breath. "This is what we will do." he rises to his paws. "I will carefully move you into the den. I need others to help me gather leaves, sticks, moss, and cobwebs if you happen to find any. I know a human that grows some herbs in their yard, I can go gather those. You." he shoots a stern glare at Rock. "Will not move, at all, until I say so. Im not trying to boss you around, I'm trying to keep you alive." With a huff, Spire leans down and grabs Rock by the scruff of his neck, gently dragging him into the den. - Pretend that makes some sort of sense-

Holly | F | Junior - Holly walked over to the tree roots. "Come on, Okra." She gently nudged the kitten. She listened to Spire and Rock as they discussed something. Holly widened her eyes in surprise as Spire began talking about healing Rock's injuries. How did he know so much about that? Then Spire mentioned herbs and gathering items. "Oh, I can help with that! I'm sure I can find some twigs and moss, maybe even some cobwebs too!" Holly had been feeling rather useless and she really wanted to do a useful job. "And Okra can stay and make sure Rick doesn't move!" Not sure how that's going to work out but the poor kitten needs something to keep her busy. "And I could watch out for any she-cats looking for Okra. It could be her mother!" Holly was starting to feel a lot better about the situation. "Stay put, Rock. I'm going to get what you need." The black cat ran out of the den and into the forest, gathering leaves and twigs in her jaws and then hiding it to collect later. She found a fallen log and she peered inside curiously. Slightly nervous, she put her paw into it and took it out after reaching around. A wad of cobwebs was stuck to her paw. Holly walked back to Spire to drop them off first, slowly hobbling along on 3 paws.

Spire • Male • He/Him • Adult "Thank you Holly!" He purrs, using a paw to drag the supplies closer to him. Spire sorts through them, choosing some of the balled up moss. "Is there a water source around here? I need someone to go dip this moss in water." Spire uses his tail to flick it across the ground towards the others, hoping someone would deal with it. He turns back to Rock. "I will need to hold these sticks up to your torso to see how long each one should be, tell me if anything hurts." Spire gently lifts up a few sticks, resting them lightly on Rock's flank. "Alright, I think I know what to do..." He picks up the two longest sticks, placing them on the ground beside each other. He then grabs smaller sticks, creating a dome shape on one side. He grabs the cobwebs and weaves them through the framework, creating a soft pad. "Now I need to tie these...." Spire's eyes narrow as he concentrates, assessing his resources. After a moment he nods slowly and chooses a thick branch. "I need to hollow this out, can someone help me?" Spire tosses the stick beside the moss as he continues to weave the structure together.

Rock l Male l He/Him l Adult . Rock listened. He felt like Spire knew what he was doing, and he knew deep in his heart that he could trust Spire, with his life. As Spire ordered things to be done, accessing his wounds. Tying stuff together, he just went along with it. He lie his head down and waited for Spire to finish, his wounds still throbbing, as more twigs and leaves were tied to him.

Spire • Male • He/Him • Adult "Never mind, I'll do it myself" Spire sighs, grabbing the branch and using his claw to carve out the inside. Now looking like an elongated doughnut, Spire cracked two thin loops off of the end with a stone. He uses strips of leafs to tie the two circles to the two larger sticks on either side of the dome. "Now I need you to crawl carefully over to this and lay your belly on the soft part, I will tie the rest on." Spire scoots his contraption closer to Rock, stepping back to let him maneuver into it.

Rock l Male l He/Him l Adult . Rock could tell Spire was getting frustrated, but he trusted Spire to do his best. As Spire instructed him what to do, he carefully rose to his paws, and crawled into it, despite dragging his hind leg. He leid himself carefully in it, then finally relaxing, taking a sharp exhale. He then awaited Spire to finish his work, thanking him along the way with the look in his eyes.
