liminal hours

[crittersheep]

WHO: whoever
WHERE: wherever
WHEN: evening 54 into night 54, post-ritual

[this is just a mingle for whoever might still have happening things that aren't inside the barns or clinic!

reminder also that we did get some cool-ass pasture security and star pieces, and some teams got delicious new fruit

perhaps tonight everyone can finally sleep off a few of the endless horrors, or at least catch their breath.]

...I'll heal both of you. Sit for a minute.

[goes for Styx's leg first, gesturing for him to stay still so Lethe can see where the damage is]

[ohlord]

[... unfortunately, he is Styx and therefore he is frankly a little annoyed that Charon's insisting on him first, so he does small snap at Lethe.

not gonna break skin but like. can and will catch hand if it keeps going for the leg.]

[endsjustified]

[bites him on the nose]

[mykidisthebest]

[gives Styx a tired look and doesn't move away at all.]

Please stay still.

[plops down heavily next to Styx's leg, carefully shifts it so that he can hold onto it without injuring Styx more, and leans down until his forehead is resting just above the wound. he has zero bottles of tears left after today so he's gotta cry on it the old fashioned way]

[ohlord]

[there was a small whine at the nip at his own nose, but he does let go of Lethe's hand and

...

unsure how feel about second time seeing Lethe legit cry like this except Very Bad, Actually.






anyway, he'll get a face lick when the leg feels good enough to move.]

[other than the nip, Charon sidled about two feet away and then just lay flat to let them finish tbh

maybe he can just sleep right here. if gators come and eat him well that's just bad luck]

[mykidisthebest]

[if the gators eat you then i have to cry MORE and that's just inefficient

gives Styx a gentle pat on the leg when he's done; he's sluggish and clearly tired, but still awake enough to make sure everything is fully healed before releasing his leg]

Thanks. Sit still and catch your breath.

[scoots over to Charon without even standing up and checks for the worst injuries while he is laying flat]

[ohlord]

[just gonna stay put here, then.

out of the way.

and not making things worse.



also licking at his leg a little. canine habits.]

[endsjustified]

[Styx took an eye and mauled his leg, he also has a bunch of scratches but none of those hit anything vital at least. tears'll do the job for everything

his other eyes aren't shut all the way, he can see how they're both doing. spreads two wings across the ground, one to lean against Lethe's leg and the other to bump against Styx's side comfortingly]

[mykidisthebest]

[gives the wing a pat before he focuses in on his task; it takes a minute for him to start crying again, but once he does, the injuries start closing up]
