A little ouchie

Seiko could only angle their head around sharply and try to clean their shoulder off so long before they felt like giving up. Maybe their body would heal just fine, maybe it wasn't a big deal at all. Maybe a dip in the ocean would clean off whatever gunk was accumulating there... the thought of that salty water stinging a series of cuts though sounded terrible. They knew just how much it stung a much smaller wound.

They weren't left sitting and brainstorming what to do for long though. The sound of a cat's familiar mewling broke the silence of the bamboo forest, followed by distinct pawsteps as their sister emerged right after. Seiko gave a nod of greeting, noting the way she had immediately pinpointed her injury. Not that it was easy to hide - blood caked the grey fur around their shoulder, the dark crimson stain obvious against the lighter fur.

"Decided to spar against a..." What had that creature been, anyway? "Looked like a mix between a lion and a tiger. Either way. Her claws hurt a lot worse than I thought they would." Seiko wasn't the type to accept help unless they absolutely needed it, but resisting Asahi's pleading face felt difficult. It was no use being stubborn anyway, not if she wanted to help. Gingerly Seiko lowered themselves onto their stomach, inviting Asahi to take a peek if she wanted to.
