ROMULUS MALUS - KINGPIN - COTC
The scent of salt was always an unwelcome one within the Coalition of the Condemned. What was once a ruthless group was now a beacon of neutrality within the mainland and Romulus would see that to the end. Even today, as the aroma brushed past his nostrils, the lion felt his body stiffen for a moment. Perhaps someone prey hunting. Maybe a pelt being skinned. No. It was something else. Something agonizing. Something that just felt off.
Mismatched paws started to walk towards the scene, only to hear the chatter of his fellow wanderers. Their tone was not casual. In fact, it seemed worried. As he rounded the corner, Romulus' periwinkle gaze met with the others first, only to look down at what they were all attentive to: Zuriela. Blood pooled around the younger wanderer and a limb, one of great importance, appeared to be missing. She, unbeknownst to Romulus, appeared to be unconscious. The leader could only feel his heart drop.
Frantically, he moved forward. As Inferno spoke, he disregarded her lack of knowledge and instead offered a frown. Sticky cobwebs would have been useful, but, by speaking, they were destroyed and were sticking together. Instead of offering his disappointment any further, the leader got to work by himself and let Brutei take over as he prepared his own devices.
Romulus started to manipulate the earth beneath his front paws. In time, small sprouts of herbal plants started to form. Moments later, they became full grown and were able to be picked. Careful claws grabbed what he needed from each, manipulating the pulps and seeds he needed with considerate pressure and concise movements. There was a significant amount of herbs to use in no time, but no bandages to be seen. The leader would have to make due to some of the larger leaves he could summon, doing so as the thought arose.
His tail swept all the prepared herbs into a pile by his side. With Brutei already attending to the wound, he attempted to move the other's talon out of the way with a soft push. "Brutei, if I may," the leader mumbled. His voice was shaky. Clearly, he was worried for one of his own, but was trying to put on a commanding face to keep everyone calm.
