Safe Haven

"Just keep her conscious for now, love," Kane replied to Tamsyn while he gave Ash all the time she needed to get settled in and for the effects of the anesthetic tonic to kick in. Once he saw her settle down and her eyelids droop, he knew she was feeling the numbing effects of the medicine, and he got straight to work. Despite his size, Kane had performed quite a number of surgeries and stitches in his lifetime. He worked with large yet nimble paws, feeing the sharp needle through her skin and muscle tissue to begin feeding the thread through to help bind the larger wounds shut. He sealed one, then moved on to the next, doing his rounds of Ash's body until all the more severe wounds had been properly sealed. Then he covered each of them as well as her smaller injuries with the salve-dampened bandages, making sure to apply them securely so they wouldn't come loose from her general movements. The last thing they needed was for Ash to give a reflexive kick or twitch and snap her stitches.

Once Kane had finished applying the bandages to cover his patient's wounds, he breathed a sigh and sat back to admire his work. Asheila would survive. More than that, she would likely make a full recovery. He thanked the Moon and Stars that they had happened upon her when they did. Had she not been found, Kane feared they may have only her corpse after some time. "She's going to be okay," he said with hazel eyes turning up to Tam and a reassuring smile. He knew how protective and worried over her children his mate could get, so he wanted to make sure she knew that her daughter would pull through.
