Time and Time again

Two weeks had passed since the earthquake and since his fall into the underground city of the mole people had broken his leg. Though the first week he had spent pretty much drugged out of his mind the second was not going nearly as well. He found himself fidgeting and shifting, his leg constantly itching underneath the cobwebs his father had wrapped around his leg then smeared berries over to make a bright pink encasing to remind him not to touch it, play with it or screw with it in any way shape or form. Though Isis usually hung around and helped him take his mind off things today she had gone out with his mom to practice some hunting. Now he was left alone with nothing but his thoughts. Forepaws tapped idly against the soft bedding of his den, head lifting every time he heard noise, hoping someone might be coming to entertain him. But as soon as he realized it was nothing head would flop back to the floor in defeat and paws would continue their insistent tapping. Orange eyes closed for short periods before opening again periodically, head lolling to and fro as he tried to think of something, anything to fight the boredom. He was going to kill himself? Anything had to be better then this. He couldn't even roll over or get up without strategically thinking about his leg. After all there was no splint or cast so he couldn't put any tension on the bone his dad said. His dad had said six weeks of this. He was gonna go crazy!! But it seemed his saving grace would in fact come from company. Pawfalls would alert him to anthers presence and instantly his head would snap up, ears attentive and eyes staring outside. Though he was hidden closer to the back of then den, his father said it was safer, he could see outside perfectly well. And who he saw brought a grin to the boys face, tail beating the ground with a rhythmic pattern to show his happiness. "Alpine!" He practically squealed at the same time as Alpine barked his announcement. Erion wiggled and shuffled, trying to belly crawl his way closer to the mouth of the den and his mentor without upsetting his leg. Though sharp pains told him to stop the boredom and need for a distraction dragged him as close to the mouth of the den as he could manage, still beaming, tail still thumping against the ground and small body wiggling half with excitement and half with need to get outside and see his friend. "Where have you been? How are you? My daddy tells me your gonna be a healer too now? Saaaavvvvveeee mmmmeeee!!" Words came out in a rush before finally head collapsed against the ground and forepaws flailed towards Alpine dramatically. God he was bored. |
