Stone Circle The wonderful thing about tiggers

Steph caught on after a moment of confusion to his implied joke. He nosed the top of her head in greeting when the distance between them was fully closed. It was good to hear that Steph's wounds seemed to be healing well; better than he was doing, at least. Nikai frowned when Steph asked how his were doing. It was a subject he'd rather have avoided, because he hated being the bringer of bad news, but it was clear from the way he was holding it and the way the wound on his leg looked that it wasn't doing much better than when he'd got injured. The only upside was that he was able to move around again, albeit on three legs.

"Something seems to be wrong with it, it's as if the wound isn't healing. It still hurts a lot, though the rest of me seems to be doing better, so I get by alright. Keoni..." He trailed off briefly, a few seconds of pause between his words. "She uhm, she didn't seem to know what to do with it either. Kept treating it with herbs." But to no avail, it seemed, almost as if something was wrong on the inside of the wound rather than the surface where the herbs wouldn't get.
