Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cymarron and Raven had an interesting morning after wakening. though she had as before spent her time while he was asleep changing dressings and applying the poultice as needed. When he woke, he argued about taking the second vial of medication, to the point where she'd had to plug his nose to force him to drink it down. and of course little bloody Morelle and his prize got a look from them both, but Raven bathed Morelle in teh pool in the back, and Cymarron looked at the head she handed to him.

"this will make a fine bowl..yes it will."

He removed the eyes, rolled them around in his hand a moment..before eatting them. his muscles tensed some, which caused him pain, but he got what he wanted. everything that Darren had ever seen, including his own death at Elias' hands. and Morelle's as well. Raven came back to his side with a clean Morelle, who chittered very pleased with himself. she checked his bandaging, changed what needed changed, and stroked his head and kissed his nose lightly. she took Darren's head, and placed it on the table and walked back to his side.

He held her hand, and stroekd his claws through her hair some, before she made him stop with a small grin, reminding him about his shoulder, and that she felt it too. The talked about the treatment Nailah was going to give him, mostly to soothe his anxiety about it. they talked about the nursery, Bastet's pregnancy, Nailah and Elias..Aurahkah and the fact they hadn't seen piper around. Eventually, though, Raven yawned, and curled into the bed next to him to take a nap. but not before she made him promise if anything was needed he'd wake her.

He was up, and couldn't sleep or rest for anything. occasionally he woudl play with Rand's hair, but mostly he was anxious about the treatment he was going to get from Nailah or Elias. he was never one to trust the human medicine. he wouldn't trust it even now if not for Nailah or Elias..without them he would have chosen to let nature take it's course. But he was getting figidity now..and hungry. he wanted something to eat too. or drink..that potion's bad taste was still in his mouth.

"We are hungry. but we don't mind what you get for us. We aren't so picky."

He watched her dress, rather prefering her undressed, but hey, when your in bed all the time, you tend to think like that. He ran his claws through her hair some, combing it out a bit, and grinned lightly.

"And maybe some eggnog to drink. But don't forget about yourself, either. No need for you to not get anything. maybe some of that chocolatre drink if there is any left."

His wings stretched gingerly, still sore, and he stretched a bit. his legs didn't move, that one calf hurt like blazes to move the muscle even to stretch it.

"We are worried some about this..treatment as well. we've never really been treated or seen such treatments before."

He purred at her kiss, and hoped she was right. when she got back, he ate without reservation, tearing into it easily with claw and fang. his ears perked at her question, before a sharp wince at the prodding fingers. the first few pokes and prods hurt, but as she worked up to a knead, it hurt less and felt better. helped to relax and ease a muscle he coudln't really work with unless he wanted to cause himself a great deal more pain.

"That feels better, Raven. You seem to know some healing skills. Or at least what makes us feel better. it hurts for us to try and stretch it or even put some weight upon it. still sore or tender from that wound, we think. but it will get better."

His hand reached up, and stroked back though her hair, lightly down her spine, and brushed his hand over her tail with a small grin, before settling it back down on the bed. his tail, having access, coiled itself up and around her forearm lightly.

He gave her another of those caresses, while listening to her talking about his calf muscles. he understood what she ment, though in his mind the word Atrophy was relpaced with weak, while he purred lightly at her finger's work, only wincing occasionally when she hit a particularly sore spot. His tail, however, emboldened by her petting, tried to slip itself down her shirt.

"We feel..pathetically useless. simple things we should be able to do, like get our mate food or drink, or even bathe or walk we can't. it becomes so annoying at times. but at least we have good company with us."

His eyes were less dull, had a little more of thier fire back, but were still rather lackluster. the blood in his lungs made it troublesome to breathe, esepcially deeply so he always seemed a little out of sorts.

His tail found it's own places to caress, and he coudln't help the occasionaly low growl when a particularly sore spot come to her fingers, but he still appreciated the gesture on her part to help take care of him.

"We understand..but it is just that for us..we've always taken care of others..when we weren't hunting our enemies or under teh master's leash. and you are our mate. we feel teh need to provide things for you, to do things to make your life easier. and here we are, unable to do such. you have to take care of us."

He rested his hand on the small of her back, letting his thumb gently stroke agasint her shirt, watching her smile, enjoying that she at least was pleased.

"We just don't want to become a burden, even for a short while on someone else."

He couldn't help the grin when her tail dragged his hand lower, and what the heck, he gave her a squeeze and a light caress of her tail, and left his hand where her tail put it. His tail, however, seemed to take it as a competition..and slowly slid it's way out of her shirt, and brushed up under it over her belly..before it tried to find a way into another article of clothing.

"We would never think of your as a burden. there's nothing that would make us think such. we just don't want to feel like a burden on you, is all. As long as you are pleased, we are pleased. We just didn't want you feeling like you were taking care of a lazy vah milking his injuries. we wouldn't do that to you."
