He knew that part would hurt. A lot.

Just then, he saw another tom walking in and cursed under his breath. "Mousedung, another patient," he griped. And to think, whne he left his life as a warrior, he thought being a medicine cat would be less work. Then the tome entered and he got a more clear look. It was Coldwind. Steampaw's father. Double mousedung! A parent. Even worse! He could practically hear the whining already. Help my daughter, Shinefang! She's hurting Shinefang! Are you sure you should be doing this and that, Shinefang? As if he weren't already in a bad mood. "She broke it. My first clue was that legs don't generally bend that way," Shinefang said, answering the father's question before the daughter could. With the apprentice off of him, he went to the corner of the den where he kept sticks, recently stripped of bark, courtesy of Gorsepaw. He grabbed three in his teeth, and padded over to lay them next to the apprentice. "I'm going to have to reset her leg. It's going to be painful but it has to be done if she ever wants to use that leg again," he said bluntly to both cats before disappearing again to his herb wall to grab a packet of poppy seeds.

Streampaw settled down, starring at her father who had walked in. "I was trying to catch a squirrel and I lost my balance and fell on my leg." She meowed to Coldwind. The apprentice looked at Shinefang, ready for any pain that came through her leg, so that it would get fixed. She didn't want to never walk again, so she stayed calm and let the medicine cat do his job.
