He offered with a polite smile, his voice soft as he heard that she couldn't really remember the last time she had a good nights sleep. He wouldn't mind having another warrior next to him while he slept, as no cat should considering all warriors had to crowd into one den to begin with. But for the most part, he always had a space next to him, occasionally a warrior might pick the spot, but for the most part it always remained open. The fact didn't bother Duskflight, cats could choose which nest they wanted to sleep in. He would sleep in his own regardless whether or not someone was sleeping next to him.
Once the two finally reached the spot that Windcrest had noted, he slowly helped her ease to the ground, looking to her for the next instructions. He had never actually had the chance to help another cat with their injuries, so this would be a first for him. But he was more than eager to help in any way he could, not that you don't already know that.
"Alright.. Um, forgive me if it does hurt you, I'll try to do this slowly." He wasn't quite sure how the stretching would effect her, whether it would be sharp pain, a dull ache, or just pressure. But he carefully took hold of her leg with her teeth and began to move her leg just as she instructed, his eyes carefully fixated on her face, looking for any sign that he needed to stop, or pause, or do something slightly different. |
Windcrest looked away shyly as the warrior had mentioned that the spot beside him in the warriors den was always open, and that she was welcome to sleep next to him anytime. Her fur prickled as she thought of always sleeping next to him and how it could become a routine for the both of them to sleep next to one another. Normally, warriors slept beside their mates or their best friends if they didn't have a mate. That was sort of the norm in clan life. Windcrest had always slept beside Leopardbreeze and Butterflywing but she had always disturbed their slumber so she told them not to worry that she'd sleep elsewhere and to not feel bad about it.
Smiling to herself thinking about her friends, her supportive two friends, she let out a small sigh before shaking back to reality as Duskflight had said something. Only catching the last part of his sentence, she nodded quickly as to not show that she had spaced out. Her ears flicked back in embarrassment, practically giving it away she had somehow managed to get lost in though. Then she noticed the warrior's gentle eyes crease with worry and concern, the alertness in them surprised her. "I'll be f-fine." She reassured him. As he grasped her leg between his teeth, the feline flinched ever so slightly at their sharpness, sucking in a sharp breath the she-cat's eyes glazed over thinking about how her parents had abused her. Trying her best she swallowed, willing herself to calm down. The quickness in her heart slowing down as the warrior moved her leg. It hurt, enough to take her mind off of the past. She breathed slowly, the pain slowly easing away as the joint became mobile again. Suddenly, a pop came from her joint and all pain washed away. The pressure built up between her joint in her leg finally giving way to the movement.
"Thank you!" She purred looking up at him, pleased that her leg finally felt better. She almost forgot the warrior was present and she felt her body heat up. She hadn't intended to purr or even proclaim her happiness by bursting out with a 'thank you'. She cleared her throat. As if StarClan had wanted to make it worse, Windcrest's stomach let out a loud growl. Hunger tugged at her stomach, the emptiness caused her stomach to cramp.
