Raven's Watch annignatuk

The wound near his eye had crusted over after he'd washed it, and weeks later had healed to near completion. The skin was raw and pink; fur did not grow there and maybe it never would again. Kigipigak was glad to have sight restored to his eye regardless. No more bruising. No more swelling of the tissue there. He could get back to work without the irritation of one eye being swollen shut. It had not stopped him from doing quick patrols of the more accessible sections of the territory limits—but he had to be extra cautious on his approach lest he fall victim to his temporarily hindered depth perception.

One thing that did not go away so swiftly—the headaches. The blow to his face had left his ears ringing and a dull ache to his neck which Kigipigak assumed would go away with time. A muscle strain from the fight, nothing more. It only truly left him when he fell asleep. As he perused the lakeside, observing how a thin sheet of ice had begun to form along the edge, there was a scowl set firmly upon his youthful face. An ache around his eyes had started that morning and now trailed down his neck, which left him in a state of irritation.
