[PRP] Patching Up

[Talencia]

Brauna was normally quite a clean and tidy individual, but today she looked quite a mess. She was a bedraggled and bloody mess, in fact, as she padded wearily and gingerly into the heart of the pride. Today had not been a good day. She did like her job, and she wasn't about to give it up, but she was learning that life here wasn't a piece of cake, even for someone immune to the ravages of the disease.

She limped into the area where the Healers tended to congregate, tending to the ill and injured as well as waiting to be summoned. She sat herself down with a sigh and a wince, ears folded dejectedly. "Pardon the interruption, but I could use some help with these." She lifted a paw that was liberally smeared with blood from deep scratches, which matched pretty much the rest of her body. "Anyone free?" she inquired with mildly pitiful hope. She would never, ever, expect a healer to leave the side of the ill to help her, but it wasn't uncommon for there to be unoccupied healers either.

Ilaorun wore a softly but tired smile as he rose his head to greet the newest arrival to the 'healers dens' as he was slowly beginning to call it. One didn't spend all day here and not heard the mutters or whispers of a healer refer to it as such after all. Though he for one didn't like the idea of calling it 'den' as it wasn't really a den, more like a clearing. Only he did see humor in calling it that as it was almost a second home to any dedicated doctor in the pride.

Doctors like him. He was hardly a specialist or anything impressive but he did know a thing or two about fixing broken bones and the alike.

"Ah, I am." He chided in the direction of the new face who had just arrived. Ilaorun was just finishing up applying a fresh bandage to wound of a lion when he turned to see the leopard for his own two eyes. His face contorted into a look of concern as he neared, observing before he even arrived at where she was sitting the obvious wounds she was suffering from.

"My..." He looked at her raised paw gently, sitting and then holding it lightly with his own. He examined the deep cuts which seemed to be the source of her excessive bleeding, his frown deepening for a moment. "Do you mind if I ask what exactly happened to you?" He looked up at the female with curious eyes.

Brauna's decidedly unkempt appearance was really bothering her, but she could hardly blame the male for his inquiry. The 'how' of her injuries could be quite important to treating them, after all, or so she'd guess.

She took a breath, glad she could do so with a minimum of pain. "Well, I was out on my patrol, and thought I saw something in the distance. So I broke into a lope to chase it down... and ran right off the edge of a bluff." She ducked her head and flattened her ears a bit in chagrin. "I didn't know it was there, you see, and I was so focused on the horizon that I... just... kinda... fell." It was terribly embarrassing to have to admit all this!

"It is both my good luck and my bad luck that I was saved from that painful fall by a very thick copse of thornbushes." She wrinkled her nose at the memory, making the scratches on her face sting. "I may or may not still have a few still stuck in me, actually." She shifted her hindquarters uncomfortably. "They kept me from breaking a leg, but this result isn't terribly nice either." She gave him a pitiful look. "Is there anything you can do to help?"

He resisted the urge to widen his eyes as a feeling somewhere between surprise and disbelieve washed over him. The scout had run off a cliff. Off of it. She hadn't almost fell, she truly had and of course her intent of fall off it had not been on purpose but...

"Amazing." He blinked. "You survived such a nasty fall." Ilaorun then realized he was praising dangerous behavior and coughed, looking away for a moment to work on making himself frown. "Ah- I mean, it was very lucky for you, but please don't go running off cliffs again, I'm not sure I can help you next time."

His attention then fell to her fairly damaged paw. He had already examined it and had a solution to the problem brewing in his mind already. "I believe I can." He said with a slight purr in response to her previous question. He set down her paw gently and then turned to go find healing salve he had set aside very early on in the day. However he stopped himself before completely leaving the leopard, turning his head around he looked at her "Wait here. Please. I'll be right back!"
