    SPIRIT

    my head's above the water


    This was his task, no? To collect honey? It was an odd task, but Spirit didn't mind.


    He could hear buzzing nearby. His mother never taught him about bees, but he knew they stung. Carefully, he made his way over to the beehive.


    It was huge--the largest one he'd seen, about the size of his head. How it got to be that big, who knew.


    Spirit saw most of the bees leave the hive. Now was his chance. Creeping towards the hive, he swatted at it. Bees stung him left and right. Grunting, he nabbed a few pieces of honeycomb, which did appear to have honey in them, and scampered off, wincing in pain.


    He didn't get very far, not with bee stingers all in his sides and his legs. He sat down, roaring in pain as loud as he could to signify he needed someone to heal him, quickly.

    [center][fancypost=borderwidth=0px; width: 480px; text-align: justify; padding: 10px;][font=georgia]Maybe he should have tasked the bear to do something else. But he had assumed that all bears were professionals at extracting honey which did not turn out to be the case. He should be more careful then ad not rely to heavily on stereotypes. "Don't move," the apprentice would instruct as he swiftly made his way over to the creature in pain, "I need you to stay still so I can remove the bees." He wasn't a real medic but he knew a few things, after all, Mie's childhood goal was to become one to help his clan but at this point, it was long forgotten. He found other ways to facilitate the workings of Blizzardclan. Now, his medical knowledge was just rotting in his brain.


    There were quite a few bees embedded into Spirits flesh but thankfully, his small paws could do some work. "Sorry about this," he first apologized, before attempting to gently pluck out the bees and their stingers out of the bear.

    [fancypost=border-width:0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 125%] ooh, that looked painful. the small thing would slowly make his way over, cocking his head to the side as he winced. "damn.. do yew need 'elp?" he would say towards the one who was pulling out the stingers. he didn't want to just stand there and do nothing, after all.

    He nodded and stayed silent as Mie plucked out the bees and the stingers. The bear winced as they were pulled out one by one. He heard another voice and opened one eye to spot someone he didn't know. He would save his thanks for when the deputy was done.

    [center][fancypost= bgcolor= opacity: 0.5; borderwidth=0px; width: 440px;][align=justify]She hated bees. There was a time when she was interested in honey at one point and attempted to collect honey right from the source, but she didn't realize the ones that made the honey were bees at the time. And boy did she get stung after that. The pain didn't last long because of her cold body, but they did leave an impression on her after that incident.


    "I can put some ice on it, once you're done getting the stingers out?" Yuki-Onna recommended to Mieczyslaw. She gave a sympathetic smile at Spirit, hoping she could do something to help him out.

    [center][fancypost=borderwidth=0px; width: 480px; text-align: justify; padding: 10px;][font=georgia]Upon hearing a familiar voice, the kitsune briefly switched his attention to 2D, "yeah, you can help pull some of the bees out if you want. Be careful though, try not to separate the stinger from the bee." If they pulled too roughly that would happen and it would be a bigger world of pain to remove the thin needle out of flesh. He gingerly plucked out a few more bees before glancing at Yuki who conveniently had elemental powers. "If you could get them in some sort of compress, that'll be nice. We can't have the ice had full on contact with his fur and skin," he answered but of course, there was still that disinfecting step. What will he use? He wasn't sure, he'll take this time removing the rest of the bees to think of some sort of plant that may be used.

    [center][fancypost= bgcolor= opacity: 0.5; borderwidth=0px; width: 440px;][align=justify] Put it into some sort compress. She'll have to go back to the camp to get a bag or some object to hold her ice in. "Alright. I'll be right back," Yuki-Onna says, turning around and bolts back to camp.

    "Eugh." Luna's face twisted into a grimace as she witnessed Mieczyslaw pulling the bees away from Spirit; it looked entirely unpleasant, but she didn't dare draw closer for a moment out of fear that the bees would come after her next. However, they seemed fairly preoccupied, so she drew forward a few uneasy strides and turned to Mie. "...Is there something I should be doing?" Yuki-Onna had already left, and for a brief moment, Luna wonders if she should go get the medics. However, she waits for a moment to see what Mie tells her to do. She lets her gaze trail toward the stingers— bees were interesting things, she deducted. Didn't they die after they stung someone or something of the sort? Luna didn't know, but if that was true, they wasted their shot there.

    SPIRIT

    my head's above the water


    As Mie continued to pull out bees and stingers, Spirit winced. He was in too much pain to speak; and how could he anyway--his teeth were clenched tight together. He could hear Yuki and Luna chatting, something about a cold compress. Good. Maybe some ice can take away some of the pain.

    [center][fancypost= bgcolor= opacity: 0.5; borderwidth=0px; width: 440px;][align=justify] Racing back with a bag in her mouth, Yuki-Onna steadily slowed down and stood in front of them. Taking the bag, she held it in her paw, the blue bag having an opening to pour the ice in. She placed her other paw over the entrance, crumbled ice coming out and into the bag. Once the bag was full, she closed the lid and handed it over to Mieczyslaw. "I filled it. If you need more, just let me know." Yuki-Onna meowed.

    Marigold. The plant Mie needed was Marigold. Of course, Fading didn't know his thoughts so couldn't answer them out loud. Hell, she wasn't certain how many of her Clan mates even knew that she knew how to heal with herbs. Nothing modern, but she wasn't terribly interested in being anything to do with medicine. So it wasn't unlikely that she'd never learn anything modern. "We'll need to seal the wound and prevent infection," she murmured toward Mie.

    [center][fancypost=borderwidth=0px; width: 480px; text-align: justify; padding: 10px;][font=georgia]He appreciated Yuki's effort, perhaps she could buy her way into his favor with these types of actions. But that was something for another time. His pale amber eyes were slightly narrowed as he focused on removing another bee, this one was difficult. This certain insect was much smaller than the other ones and very difficult for the vulpes to grasp. Upon hearing the paladin Luna's voice, the apprentice would turn to her and nod. "I can't seem to get this one, could you try?" He asked, briefly checking on how Spirit was faring. He didn't look too bad. The guy should be fine.


    "Hold up with that ice," he answered, taking note that Fadingmoon also appeared. She certainly seemed to have some knowledge of what to do, he'll take this chance to consult her, "what sort of plant can clean and prevent infection?"

    Fadingmoon waved her tail at Mie, turning to look around the field they were in. It didn't take her long to, thankfully, find a few stalks fo marigold. It seemed to grow all over. She couldn't help but feel as if somebody had planted it on purpose. Taking it up in her mouth, she began to chew it. Then she stepped forward and attempted to put the poultice on the wounds. "This, it's called Marigold. It's very easy to find, it's gold in color."
