Lost Creek Hollow Just keep swimming

for Terance. Other tags for reference

Hyacinth was injured as well, the bear had smacked her away so hard that something in her shoulder had torn. She said not a word at the time, limping diligently behind @Terance and @Treason until they were inside her den. Immediately she looked at the two of them, eyes still wide with fear but her voice came out strong "You both can't be here. Nobody is to come inside. Here. Have some poppy, itll calm your nerves and clear your head. If you need something for sleep come to me." she shoved two poppy seeds at the both of them and then motioned to go outside, her eyes sympathetic before she turned and pulled various combinations of herbs out. 

It took hours for her to get @Rannoch as stable as she possibly could. She had managed to get him to swallow some very finely chewed herbs so he wouldn't choke and they had begun to stabilize his breathing. His pulse began to beat steadier and she couldn't help fondly touching her nose to his pelt "There you go Ran. Fight harder. We all need you here still" she whispered and then began the poultices for the wounds. 

More hours had passed as she worked to make it so Rannoch would remain stable and she was exhausted. Her shoulder hurt like her leg had almost gotten ripped off and as she limped toward the mouth of her den she paused to take some poppy seeds. As she stepped outside she took a breath and gave Terance the news that Rannoch was stable and watched as someone was sent for Liffey. She kept her demeanor calm knowing she had a lot to do still but more exhausted than she had ever been. 

Finally after the mate was comforted and she was left alone with Rannoch, she lay down pressed against his back to keep him warm. She fought her sleepy eyes and occasionally drifted off but always woke up to check on the fallen alpha. It was torture but it was also satisfying and fulfilling to her that she was succeeding in her life goal. Finally the sun began to creep over the horizon and she checked on Rannoch again, finding him still resting peacefully. She had done it, gotten him through the night. She let a relieved sigh out and stood, setting out to find Terrance.
