gift of the night / o, injured child

[Cosmic]

"I'm not on the medic team, but I can help." I offered, my voice soft as I quietly and slowly approached, eyes glancing over to the injury. God, that was painful. And to a child? Who the fuck does this kind of shit?

I was somehow always prepared for events like this, and I gave Moon a nod of appreciation, Gabe too, for having acted so quickly to help the poor kitten. As a first responder, it was nice to see others who knew what they were doing and helping out and doing their part. I could tell that the wound would definitely need to be kept watch on after this, and that it was missing marigold to fend off infection.

"Hey, Moonmade." I turned to the lion, offering him my own small bag of herbs filled with just about anything necessary to treat almost every medical emergency. I always had it on me, and even owned a private garden in my room just for growing herbs.

However, I decided instead to pull out the marigold for him, offering it to the Halo. Once he took it, I fished around for a few poppy seeds, only enough so that it would safely ease the pain the kit would experience. I held them as I waited for him to do his job, and then offered the poppy seeds, should he need them.

"You'll be alright, I promise." I attempted to soothe the patient with reassuring words and calming statements. It was the best we could do at the moment.
