~ ☼ Continuing to flip Shelly around, over, and every which way, Onyx was quickly becoming convinced that whatever the issue was, it wasn't going to be outwardly visible. She wasn't exactly a medic of any kind, really she barely had even the slightest idea of how she would go about treating any problem if she did find one, she had just been hoping that whatever the problem was here, that it'd be easy to spot and easy to fix. When she noticed a paw reaching out from the corner of her tunneled vision, she was quick to shift the hen further away from Survivor's reach. "Hey! No touching! I don't know if she's hurt, I don't see anything wrong, but...it's just-hey, ow!" the Discens began, suddenly cut off when her hen gave a swift pick to one of the clawed limbs holding her, though it was really more surprising than it was painful

She had no idea what she could do here, there were no physical injuries, none that she could see at least, and she was certain that Shelly hadn't been acting any differently lately, neither had Yolko, so they probably weren't sick either. It made no sense, they both looked completely fine! She felt just as confused as Rowena looked, as the young Tirone stepped forward and asked what was wrong, and that was exactly what the problem was. "I-I don't know what's wrong, that's the problem!" How did medics deal with this anyways, how was anyone supposed to find a problem when there just didn't seem to be anything wrong in the first place! "No, it's not okay, look at her!" the hybrid cried out to the wildcat as he approached, holding Shelly out to him, making sure to give him a good look at her, in all her glorious feathered-ness, the one holding her only becoming increasingly panicked. "She's all grown up right, but there's no eggs, neither of them have laid eggs yet! There has to be something wrong, I just know it, but I can't find ANYTHING!!" Ahhhh this was bad, this was so, so bad, what if they really were sick and she just hadn't noticed, what kind of parent was she if she had missed those signs, what if they were dying and she just couldn't tell?!
