It was unusual for Tenshi to wander far from the maze or the bay. She had taken a liking to stay among the shade of the bamboo or taking a dip in the salty shallows. Except, there had been a niggling feeling at the back of her mind that she should check the grove that lay north of the maze. Recently, she and Sayuri had fought off a tiger and she wanted to ensure the large feline was keeping its distance. On her leisurely stroll toward the grove, she heard a commotion up ahead. Loud squawking and rustling of tall, nearly dead grass. Curious and slightly concerned, the mountain of a woman followed the familiar scent of Sayuri once the breeze had brought it to her nostrils. If the young healer was in a hurry somewhere, something must be wrong. Taking long strides, she heard her name called as she approached. Lifting her head to get a better overhead view of the situation, she hesitated a few feet back. The scene in front of her was nowhere near pleasant. Askell lay on the ground with a thick green liquid leaking from his lips and nose. Beside him, the koi patterned Sayuri hovered, concern riddling her features. Tenshi could hear Sayuri begging her to help. But what was she supposed to do? The mess that lay on the ground around Askell appeared toxic and from the way his breath was labored, he wasn't appearing too well. Her brow furrowed as she took a step around Sayuri to stand on the other side of the boy. Hesitant, but worried that he would die soon, she lowered her muzzle to sniff at the ooze. "Askell, if you can, can you tell us how long this has been going on?" Her voice is quiet, soft, the sort of tone a mother would use on her sick pup. Unfortunately, she had to do something that she wasn't sure was safe. Reaching out a toe, Tenshi touched it to the ooze. It was thick and goopy, but otherwise odorless as she brought it to her nostrils. Not daring to taste it, she quickly wiped it away on the ground. "We need to clear his airways and see if he'll ingest anything," Tenshi raised her eyes toward Sayuri. Quickly, her mind ran through the various herbs and plants that would or might help him. "Can you fetch Elderberry, Gingseng root, fuck, just go to my den and grab whatever you see laying around. We can figure out what to use when you get back," her teeth grit together as she takes a seat beside Askell. Picking up a paw to gently begin brushing it down his side, Tenshi let out a sigh. It was obvious she wasn't sure what would help... diagnosed ailment 1/3 |
