Phoenix Maplewood Stronger Connected

I'll fade this one out here! I'd love to thread again with you sometime soon! Slight powerplay to wrap things up, hope you're ok with that!

Reek's questions were answered as soon as Esaro fell slack at his feet. Esaro wobbled, and eventually fell into the clutches of a hazy sleep brought on by his injuries. Reek wished to keep Esaro conscious long enough to examine his condition further, but his slip into the subconsious was unavoidable. A quick jolt of panic surged through Reek. Without a proper examination, it was impossible to discern the full extent of damage the tree had done. If he fell into a coma in his sleep, Reek would have to bear that weight for the rest of his life.

"Get up," he coaxed with quick prod from one of his forepaws, but Esaro made no movement. He was out like a light. Reek hissed in frustration. "Fucking fuck." It seemed he would have to stay and watch him sleep until he regained consciousness, so Reek settled in into the snow and made hismelf comfortable. This was going to be a long day after all.
