[RHINESTONE.]

RHINESTONESTAR ❝ RHINE ❞ LEGATE
"TALKING" || "TELEPATHY"

The medical delivery patrols were a thing that Rhinestone knew of, but he had never really properly witnessed, himself. Usually, when Vaas came around with his bags of herbs ready for everyone that needed them, the legate was already long asleep, curled up in his den with his muzzle stuffed beneath his paws. This was a bit unfortunate, since Rhine didn't actually want to be asleep for them. He enjoyed seeing Vaas in the sparse moments they got with each other, snuck in between both of their different official duties. The medici patrol would've been a perfectly opportunity for them to walk and talk, or even just enjoy the quiet of the night together, and the serval knew that. He had tried valiantly several times to stay up and wait for the other, but... it was difficult, if he was honest. He was usually exhausted by the work he had to do throughout the day, and once he finally got a chance to go home and sink down into his nest, he was gone. It was an unfortunate fact of life for him, and he had honestly just begun to accept that he would never be able to catch Vaas on his patrol.

This time, though, things were different. While Rhinestone still didn't manage to catch the other while he was delivering herbs to the leader's den, he did wake up while the other was still out. He wasn't sure what woke him up – perhaps just some odd dream – but he was quick to scrub away the drowsiness that clung to his eyes, pushing himself up to his paws and slipping out of his den. He made sure to tuck the bag of sleeping herbs that had been delivered inside, before he turned and followed quickly after Vaas's scent trail. When he eventually tracked the other to where the borders laid, he would've been lying if he said he wasn't slightly disappointed that the medicus legionis wasn't alone. Despite this, he still kept moving forward, his short tail brushing against Vaas's side in a secret sign of affection before he moved to sit nearby. He greeted slowly, still scrubbing at his eyes just a bit, "Hey, Vaas... finally managed to catch you while you were out. Although it looks like I was almost too late." He slowly eyed the webbing that the tiger was gathering up, silently wondering along with Sorbet's question. He thought he could remember Vaas telling him about webbing being used as bandages, but his drowsy brain also could've been making things up.
