Oakpaw's gaze flicked up as a raspy voice spoke to her. "Okay," she agreed. Knowing the usual routine by now, Oakpaw continued to speak. "It feels good. I think I can feel more on my shoulder now, and I can move my leg a bit today." With that, Oakpaw pushed herself onto her haunches in a sitting up position. Eyes gleaming, she was ready to make her proposal. "That being said.. can I try to walk today? Pleeeeaaaase?" |
Shinefang's shredded ear gave a twitch as he thoughtfully looked back at the younger cat. As he'd hoped many of her symptoms were improving with time. Which was fortunate because herbs had stopped being useful. There was no danger of infection and no bleeding. If there was an herb that would be helpful, Shinefang didn't know it. "That depends. Can you stand?" he asked Oakpaw as he dropped onto his haunches, tail thumping the ground in anticipation as he waited to see if the apprentice would be able to do that much. He understood her desire to be out and about. Frankly, he wanted that to if for no other reason than to have his den back! But if she couldn't stand up, how was she supposed to walk? "Let's see it."
