As Brightfire spoke, Lightningstorm grimaced, uncertain of what to say. She understood that kits could have a temper. She had been a kit with a temper. But lashing out to the point of taking out an eye was... not acceptable. A part of her wanted to ask him if another warrior had been able to set the kit aside to talk to them. If some level of control had been regained. Not even the most rambunctious of apprentices had done damage to this degree. It was... troubling at the very least.

Asking about the kit's fate was not her job, however. He hadn't been hurt, clearly. The father here seemed to be more worried about what he could have done to deserve being injured in such a fashion than anything. She was certain that at the very least he had not struck the kit for his misbehavior, which was quite frankly commendable, as a part of her wouldn't have blamed him if it had been instinctual. The nature of his injury would have made such a retaliation not only believable, but understandable as well. Considering she saw no kit blood on his paws nor were there any queens rushing into her den with news of the attack and a hurt kit, her priority lay in her patient. She would worry about the fallout after the fact.

"Right. Pain. Well, if it hurts, that means the nerves are still workin' alright in there. Hopefully this means there's some hope to save the eye but... if you can't see through it, I'm not sure if we can save the vision. I don't normally see kits with the capabilities to be able to pierce through an eye. Let alone to do this level of damage, but- Oh, 'ello Twilightstar. No bother at all," Lightningstorm mewed as she continued cleaning the area around the eye gently, pausing only to look at the leader as she entered before returning her attention to the tom's bloody eye.

"No injured kits, not if I understood proper," she mewed, giving Brightfire a questioning look - a silent query for confirmation on the matter - before continuing, setting the moss down before heading towards her rehydrating herbs, grabbing the plumped celandine in her mouth gently before walking back to her patient. "But Brightfire's eye here has seen better days... erm... well... You get me. Speaking of which, I'm a small cat, love. Crouch down for me and look up, if you could be so kind? I need to apply some drops of this flower's petal juice to make sure I can give you the best chances at recovery. It'll sting up a storm, but do try not the blink too much, please? Gathering more celandine has been bloody impossible this newleaf, so we'll want to get these few drops in right there first time."
