TRY TO TAKE ME DOWN
BAALAL -- NONBINARY -- THE FROSTBLOWN -- SAGE -- MEDIUM DIFFICULTY
through the stinging needles of pain jolting along their form, muscles refusing to cooperate as pain made them it's plaything, agony ripping through any coherent thoughts that they might have. ah hells, why had they thought to come outside ... it was karma catching up to them. breaths becoming frosty clouds of moisture, they bit down on their tongue as they shuddered in a whole bodied way, the feeling of the snow melting under their belly unpleasant and undesirable. gasping at the shock of the cold liquids worming through their coat they shivered involuntarily, managing to calm their breathing with the firm reminder that they were not pinned by anything other than gravity. senses tuning to the hushed yet quick approach of paws, they would fix their gaze on the jaguar form of alexi, a croon of relief leaving them. ah, somebody had come.
huffing out a pained breath with a wince, "i'm alright, i'm just in a lot of pain. do ... don't worry too much, alexi. just ah, just a moment.", they would request as a wave of dizziness swept over the sage. had they eaten recently? they couldn't even recall that. "my legs gave out on me. i don't think i've been injured, it's phantom pains mostly.", they would do their best to calm the other before they entered into a state of panic. it would be just their luck should they have reopened an old wound. sucking in a pained breath as they looked up to apple, they greeted her with a low sound of pain, "hah ... apple, i'll be alright. i just need to get my strength back.", they would groan, sorely wishing that they had access to a smaller body.
after a while of fruitlessly resting they gave a grind of their jaws, nose picking up savah's scent, and most importantly the scent of herbs drifting on her pelt, "savah", they would attempt to greet her, "you've worked with herbs before, yes?", or so they would hope, the fragrant scent of herbs ever familiar to the former valereader, "i've need of herbs that aid in pain and strength - i should have burnet or chamomile inside the hut, and some willow bark. i can explain what they look like but my biggest problem right now is general dizziness and loss of strength. i guess this is an impromptu lesson until i can move back to my nest, since i'm a little too big for you three to move me.", they would try their best to address all three gathered around them, either close enough to touch or not.
