Stone Circle and folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

the main priority would be cleaning the surface wounds and treating any early signs of infection. the eye was gone; it'd been a clean break, something that blondine would have been grateful for in any other situation. she took a deep breath to try and gather her thoughts, exhaling sharply through tight lips. 

i've got to get cleaned up, she said. there were several streaks of dried blood that'd matted her fur down into knots. creating a clean canvas would allow the pair to properly assess the situation. 

dawn continued to speak as blondine stood and turned. she listened intently, not moving until her partner took the lead. it ain't the girl's fault, she sighed, shaking her head as they went, we've all been angry before, cain't blame her for it. i should'n'a been out there, anyhow. 

the huntress had never hurt anyone out of spite, but that was because she'd been taught better. the girl's parents were more to blame for such an outburst than she was. blondine. i wish we'd have met under different circumstances. she held close to dawn, trying not to lose direction.
