Redhawk Caldera I'll let the waters still

Bein vague on injuries, I just wanted to get at least one post-medic thread out too <3. Also vague on if they are with it or not, feel free to join or I'll assume they are down for the count

She'd managed to track down a few wintertime plants, but her mind was still buzzing over her victory by the lake.  She'd needed it.  Just like her time in the canyon, it was verified proof that she was capable of more than even she imagined, and she couldn't wait to begin training.

But first, she had a job to do.  Fennec frowned, settling in between her two patients (and technically, co-invalids.  But she hadn't exactly asked permission to leave).  She snagged some of the roots and kept them nearby to be eaten when the two felt up to it.

For the moment she wordlessly checked on both... pulse, temperature.  Then she began to carefully clean @Bronco's neck for probably the dozenth time, gentle strokes that would carry upwards over his torn scalp and ear.

His were wider, more open.  @Alyx's were more contained.  She'd get the younger girl's next.  It was almost meditative, detaching the care she had to give from the individuals receiving it.  Yet it was something she occasionally found she had to do, because if she let the reality sink in, she knew it'd leave her frozen.  One step at a time.

Prevent infection.  Clean the wounds.  Keep them fed, hydrated.  Hope that, if they slept... they woke up.  She stopped, for a moment, and rested her chin lightly against the crown of his head.  Then she shifted, fitting her side more gently against the curve of Alyx's spine, and continued gently on the mess that was now his ear.
