    Lessa's treehouse, it was perfect, all the places to put herbs and how she was so sorted. Why was the tom here, the past shaman had left over a week ago but he was still sitting in her treehouse with awe. Most everything was gone by now, only a few scraps of leftover herbs and unwanted furniture, but other than that someone could barely tell that this used to be somebody's treehouse. He remembered looking at it when everything was there, especially Lessa. It was great and hopefully his mind would remember it, a draft of his soon to be treehouse hopefully. There was a faint smell of Lessa still lingering in the abandoned place, the last reminder of who she was. Although that wasn't why he would come and check in on the place everyday. He was afraid. He barely knew her, only for a week and he was afraid he would forget about the shaman. She was an unofficial mentor of his and ravelights deeply looked up to her. Forgetting her, not an option. He couldn't, and the fact that yesterday, talking to Littlestar about her notes, he and to forget about her for the greater good. It pained him deeply, but for now, when the leader wasn't around hopefully he could spend some more time in this place. The last of the herbs Lessa left, he quickly grabbed hesitant about if she would want him to. Although he shook the feeling off, knowing Lessa would probably not notice.


    It was hard, leaving the empty place but he did, knowing this could fairly be the last time. Stay, let this treehouse stay. Whatever happens don't let me forget about her, the lady who opened my mind to everything. His paws felt so light at the moment. Why did he have to float, why did his emotions cause this? He tried to stay to the ground but it was simply too hard. He had to float, before he dazed off and finally got back to the ground and grabbed a few herbs from his treehouse and quickly got down to the ground. Maybe he could use this to his advantage? Get his mind off the past shaman and onto something else. With bloodclan and shadow clan raids, he suspected others would be wounded. Somehow he felt like this was his job? Even thought he wasn't officially a shaman. He didn't know if he wanted to be a shaman. He could easily mess up with his unprofessional place and bare to no experience. He needed to practice. "Does anybody have some recent wounds that you think need attending to? I can help, probably." he said, looking around to anybody who would trust him enough to come over.

    the girl didn't care one bit about herbs and healing. she just wasn't that kind of person: one to sit behind their clanmates during a fight and remain peaceful and neutral while tending to patients and plants. willing to help everyone with their injuries and basically be a a kind, soft person. nope, that wasn't her. audrey was a bit more rough and rowdy, wanting to go and fight on a battlefield and make a name for herself. that's how things got done. people always said violence was never the answer, but she couldn't disagree more.


    ravelights was obviously the opposite of her. he seemed eager to claim the shaman spot and seemed incredibly interested in plants. and apparently now he had worked up the courage to offer some medical help to his clanmates. maybe to gain some experience in the medical field? the child would be the first to arrive at the treehouse, peering up at the older male and offering a grin before speaking, "can you heal my leg? i messed it up a couple of days ago." the child would chirp before lifting her right front leg off the ground and sticking it out straight, wincing in pain as she did so. the child had injured her shoulder and paw by slamming it against the ground repeatedly, and it had hurt ever since. maybe rave would be able to ease the pain a little.

    His brown paws were dangling loosely over the side of one of the many bridges that connected the tree-house homes when he heard Ravelights' call. It made his mind flash back towards his first memory of the colorful tom and he glanced over to his shoulder. It was healing perfectly now and he'd taken to changing the bandages everyday, having Cecilia help him. Speaking of his hawk companion, Robbie wasn't too sure where she was at the moment and he needed a distraction from his worries.


    The child could see both sides of the coin when it came to healing and fighting but no doubt the medical aspect of the clan interested him greatly and his nosy self was quick to come over to Audrey and Rave. "Do you mind if I watch?" He asked Ravelights with a tilt of his head, blue eyes fixating onto the tom.

    wonder wanted to learn it all. healing would be quite useful in the future, at least the way the child saw it. "i'd like to watch as well." he said softly, a smile coming across his beak. small, but it was there. his heart pumped in joy, excited to learn more and more. if he wanted to be a researcher, as fernando put it, then he'd do anything to do that. everyone he ever knew that he told that to told him he was stupid for it. there was no good in being smart when being smart didn't help you survive. he begged to differ. not everyone needed to fight in this world. there could be peace as well.


    I cant seem to sleep ◬ 11/04

    TAGS ✦ ✧ ✦ — She just preferred to stay tucked up in her room now. Of course she did have duties to fufil like greeting joiners, meeting allies and all that shit but she preferred to spend her time away from the public eye, simply lying on her bed or writing in her calendar. She took care of the kids, watched over Technokit and all that jazz but she didn't take walks through the territory anymore. Letting people watch her, especially with what they knew about her, was far from what she wanted. She'd already been through hell.. why did she have to go through another version of it? And so, while Ravelights meandered about Lessa's old medic den and called out for wounds to be treated, she remained on her bed, lying on her side, book in her paws. She did hear his voice and curiosity perked upwards but she supressed it through the fear and embarassment she felt. It's better to stay in here. Littlestar fiddled with the key and chain on her neck, eyes concentrating as they read through chapter 1 of 'There Will Be Lies'. It was a pretty good book so far and she got a sense that plot twists were up and coming.

    He was somewhat surprised at the gaining crowd he gathered with one call of his words. Maybe it was possible that others actually trusted him. His gaze would focus on Audrey, one of Littlestars children and he knew he had to be careful here. Her leg hurt, if he didn't help or made it worse Littlestar would hate him more then she already did. He carefully checked out the leg, putting his paws on it with light pressure and trying to tell what the reaction was from the girl and if it really hurt. He gave a light smile, realizing that he was only a few months older then the kids. It was true, he never got to live out his actual childhood, and acted older then he was. Although, others didn't seem to mind, he wouldn't be totally surprised if these kids thought he was years older, despite his appearance. "Does it hurt when I put pressure on it?" he would simply ask, although quickly his mind would get distracted by several other kids who wanted to learn like he did. His face would flush and mind race, he wasn't that good himself, they probably knew more then he did truthfully. But, they asked to watch and he would let them, he couldn't mess up. Oh gosh, oh gosh, there watching me every move. If I do something wrong they could copy it on another injured member. "Yes, I would be delighted if you guys would watch."

    the child would have a neutral expression on her face until ravelights began tapping on her leg, wincing as he did so. after he finished his poking, prodding, and questioning; the girl would speak. "yeah it hurts when i walk on it too," a pause as she thought up what to tell him next, "it's like, super swollen right here," the girl would use her uninjured paw to lightly tap an area on her shoulder as she spoke. the swelling was located about where a joint in her shoulder was, and was definitely the most painful spot on her leg. "um, it like keeps me from moving my leg well, too." another brief pause as she wiggled the toes on her aching paw and kept her leg straight, trying to display her immobility. "can you do anything about it?" after saying her final words, the girl would slowly move her rigid leg back into it's normal position, wincing as she placed her paw on the ground again. the catsune really needed to fix whatever the hell was going on with her shoulder and hoped rave could help her. if he couldn't, ri didn't know what she would do.

    Gearpaw still isn't .. great with heights, so when Rave comes bounding to the ground asking for sickos to gather near him, she scampers over before really processing his request. "Finally wanting to test it out on us?" She grins, blue eyes sparking happily. She knows there's some drama between the ex-shaman and Ravelights but she doesn't have the balls to ask anyone about what happened. It seems to be a touchy subject, saying the least.


    She wonders vaguely where Lit is but reckons the gal needs a day off. Listening to Audrey, Gearpaw makes sympathetic noises but tries not to get in the way. She'll offer up some injuries after she's done.



    //I was thinking it was a sprain! Alright.


    He listened intently as Audrey spoke and followed her gaze as he looked upon the others girls legs. It was somewhat awkward, standing there looking at a girls legs who was around the same age as ravelights himself. What was even more awkward was that this was his leaders child. His cheeks turned a detectable pink, but he tried to cover it up by not focusing on himself. "Swelling too hmm?" he went through his mind, trying to think of the most logical answers to this. It wasn't broken, as she was sure Audrey would know but somewhere in between. "Sounds like a pretty bad sprain you got there ma'am. I'm sure I could help though" quickly he conjugated a roll of medical tape that he could use to help, he also conjugated an ice pack. "I'm going to wrap your leg up with tape that won't be removed for a couple of days, this mean it will limit your walking, are you okay with this?" he asked, not wanting to pressure her into something she didn't want to do. With a quick side glance he would see Gearpaw and perk his ears to her comments. He couldn't help but let out a completely unprofessional chuckle at his friend and a smile her way.

    "I feel like I should be recording this by like taking photos or something, right? Ravelights first day on the job." Gearpaw says, an overdramatic swell of pride making a tear prick at her eyes. "I'm so proud." She huffs, fur puffing out as Rave chuckles while still helping a patient. What a multi tasker!

    ━ROBBIE━

    "What's a sprain?" Robbie questioned after his face had shifted into a beam at Ravelights' response. He'd been quiet up until this point but asking inquiries was just too tempting to not do. "What does the tape do for her leg?" He added while his nose lifted into the air as he peered a little closer at Audrey's injury.

    It was too hard! How did Lessa act so professional with these things when members and friends were just spitting jokes like this. I mean yes, Gearpaw wasn't there when Lessa was here and nobody was quiet like Gearpaw but oh gosh it was hard. He couldn't help but see himself in a situation like this but more urgent, a life or death situation. He knew if he laughed in a situation like that he would be looked down upon and that would not be good for his reputation and career. This was training, and he had to train himself to not laugh at jokes like that during practice. He felt guilty but he would surely apologize later, but instead he gave Gearpaw a guilty and held back laugh with as much anger as he could put into it at that time, which was not much. Hoepfully Gearpaw picked up the hint that he was dying of laughter inside but couldn't laugh at the moment. Instead he looked to Robbies direction and perked his ears at the question. "A sprain is like a broken leg but not as bad. See a broken leg needs urgent medical treatment and you can't walk on it at all, but a sprain can be easily healed and is only a light fracture to the bone." he would say with a small smile to the other. Ravelights was only 4 months older then him, he shouldn't be like his mentor but it seemed so right to him. "The tape help stabilizes her leg so she won't hurt it even more as the sprain is healing."

    Gearpaw gathers hit guilty look and gives him a quick understanding wink, leaving him to his explanations. The pressure was coming on for Rave, even if at the moment it was just him putting himself under that pressure. And yet still he takes time to explain to Robbie what all these new terms mean. It's pretty cool so Gear settles back to listen and watch, making no further move to distract Rave.

    the girl would remain silent for some time after her diagnosis, just listening to rave talk about the injury and what the medical tape was for. after fully soaking in all the information, the child would finally speak, a small frown on her maw, "wrapping it up is fine." the girl would huff, casting a glance down at her shoulder and the bruised paw. if the girl had known that her actions would have caused her this much pain, the catsune definitely wouldn't have exerted her anger in such a way. honestly she would've been better off attacking that shadowclanner, he at least would've been softer than the hard-packed earth. but ri supposed she could do nothing about it now, and would just have to wrap up her leg and will the pain away. she supposed she could do that. "how long until it goes away? the pain, i mean." the youth would suddenly question, bringing her gaze to focus on rave once more. hopefully he would say something like... 3 days? 4 days? yeah, that would be good. audrey could work with a short healing process. now, if it took 3 weeks for the pain to finally go away? well, she would have a problem.
