gasp, is she dead?!

Tethys wasn't left standing here with the unconscious girl for long, which she was grateful for, because she didn't really know what to do. Instead of jumping to action she sort of just hung around and stared, noting that the stranger was breathing but just barely. It wasn't like she could really do anything to help, but fortunately Crux appeared after a brief wait and she nodded to him in greeting. He wasn't someone she knew well but she recognized him, and was glad he'd answered her call, even if he looked a little worse for wear… to say the least.

She watched as he placed his bundle down and got to examine her. "No idea. I was just walking and found her here," Tethys admitted, giving a shrug to accompany her words. Studying her a little more closely now that Crux was here, she noticed she was doing a little more than just barely clinging to life… but just barely. Her paw twitched, her eyes fluttered open, her mouth moved just slightly like she was trying to speak but couldn't.  "Can you hear us? Try to move a paw if you can," she offered, unsure if it'd even work, trying to get her attention while Crux focused on tending to her.
