Don't ask why

Oleander was studying some old journals he found in the market, they had some interesting information about the toxic effects of mushrooms and other poisonous plants. He was just about to invite Vesper to go foraging with him and tell her about it when a noise from the doorway caught his attention. It was the young Prince's companion bear, Rook!

Quick with his supplies and his paws he followed the bear down the path and into Gale Gorge. Near the far edge, he found Citadel hunched over his tiny sister. With a quick assessment, he gathered she had probably fallen.

"Hey buddy, I'm here!" He announced. He could smell blood, she had little cuts all over her. "Tell me what happened, she hit her head? Climbing again?" He asked pulling out wrappings and tinctures. He tried to see the culprit rock that might have knocked her out, or was it a tussle gone wrong? With her luck, she was probably running up the steep sides of the gorge. "You're doing a great job holding your paw there, you can lift it away now while I wrap it up." He praised and noted. Damn, head wounds were always big bleeders.

"Damn, this spot on the back of her head, if she was hit hard enough she might be blind for a few days." He ventured aloud as he assessed the depth. Life signs were good otherwise. He bound her tiny head with practiced ease, her head was about the same size as Jace's, his companion raccoon holding one edge of the wrapping and preparing to tie it off.


"Speech!"
