So the children answered his call. The spotted feline rolled his shoulders back, relaxed in this teaching element. He was not sure how well they'd all hold onto the info, but they might as well. Childhood was the time he'd seen the most broken bones himself. "Healing, Leo," he'd reply, eyes twinkling with amusement. "Don't worry, I'll explain. They each have different uses."
To Georgie, his smile faltered, replaced with a furrowed brow and frown. A father and quite used to the antics of those less caring of organization, he seemed little bothered by anything save her words. "And why not?" He'd inquire, head tilting. "Especially if one breaks something when defending their crew?" With all this talk of fighting lately, he felt now especially, it mattered they knew how to heal such injuries. "Is it right to let one suffer for something they've done for the good of others?" In accidental cases, such as... Well, during play, like during his own youth, he felt earning the injury itself was a lesson enough. No need to force the bone to heal without assistance, lest it heal wrongly.
"Besides, if you break something, and it is not set properly, it may do even more damage in the future."

"So that's where we'll start. There are clean breaks, displaced breaks, open breaks, fractures and cases where there are multiple breaks. Does anyone want to take a guess at some of the differences between some of them?"
