Blackfeather Woods life is nothing without the pain

Somehow, Cicero hadn't calculated in that Damien might panic like he did. Somehow, he thought that everyone already knew about what he did. It wasn't like this was the first time. He had walked around with that infected foot for who knew how long. But then, he hadn't calculated in the fact that Damien was no medic. When Damien started to panic, Cicero said, "Relax, brother," but before he had a chance to say anything more, he saw that Damien reached towards him.

In his mind, this all went in slow motion, and so when Cicero parted teeth to try and grab a piece of Damien in play, he in fact only loosely managed to grab one of Damien's ears before he tumbled to the ground. He was an easy target, and as he looked up from his laying position and saw Damien lift his nose he said "Wait —" but the tones of Damien's howl already overshadowed his words and it was too late. After the howl, Cicero's mismatched eyes focussed bleerily on Damien while his stomach contracted with pain and he said, "Cicero knows what he's doing. It will pass." He had tried this out before, had tested these very herbs before he knew what they did at all, even.
