Ooo, this kid has some bite to her! Not that Hollowpaw actually cares all that much, and her words do nothing more than make his scowl deepen to a glare. "I need to ask questions so I know what I'm working with," the explanation is clipped, and his tail lashes behind him. He's got half a mind to turn the idiot away right now, and not just because he actually doesn't have any clue how to help with the leg. Wolfpaw entering and immediately sticking up for him was not something Hollowpaw expected, to be perfectly honest. He's well aware that his attitude is... prickly at best and most are rubbed the wrong way by it and end up disliking him (cough, cough, Risingstorm). He has no idea Wolfpaw's opinions on him, and frankly, he doesn't care that much, but if they're going to work together the least they could do is stick up for each other, so the action is appreciated, and Hollowpaw's glare lessens in response.

He gets to watch a demotion happen right in front of his very own eyes, Beetlepaw becoming Thornkit. And Fleckpaw explains the whole story. "You forgot," he scoffs under his breath with a roll of his eyes, but Fleckpaw also brings up a fair enough point: the two are here for medical attention, and they should probably receive it. "There's some open nests there," Hollowpaw gestures with his tail, "Take one of them, I'll escort Thornkit to the other one." Assuming Thornkit allows Hollow to lead them, that is, otherwise Hollowpaw will just let her hobble on her own. He looks to Wolfhive, "does it really need to be amputated?" He thought that was only for crushed or nearly-severed limbs, but Thornkit's leg looks to still be attached and it doesn't seem crushed.

Experimentally, he puts his paw on it, trying to feel for where the damage is as if that'll make what to do any more clear to him. He doesn't bother to warn Thornkit that it might be painful. There's a part of the leg that feels strange, a little out of place. Hm. Okay, well, he doesn't know what to do about that other than Wolfhive's suggestion of amputation, so he tackles the issue he thinks he knows how to solve first.

"Fleckpaw said something about you having a race? In this heat? I think you've both overheated a bit, probably. I dunno how to fix that, but I think water will help." He looks to Wolfhive now, since the Hornet was here, he might as well help, "we have moss in the herb storage, go soak some in water for the idiots to drink," it feels odd to order him around, but Hollowpaw also kind of enjoys it. "Also... I dunno what any of the stuff back there actually does, if there's something for pain, maybe grab that too. Thornkit's stupid and disobedient, but I don't wanna hear them howling about how much it hurts while they're here."

Fleckpaw's complexion turns pale after she hears the words 'amputation', and she looks like she's about to be sick. No tears fall from her face-her eyes are too dry for that, and it'll only make them sting; but she genuinely feels unwell at just the thought of being even partially responsible for such a thing.

Starclan, if you can hear me... please don't let that happen.

Fleckpaw doesn't say anything to all of Hollowpaw's barbed remarks. Situation being what it was, she couldn't help but think they both deserved it. Instead she closes her eyes and hums, "We won't."

Thornkit’s heart sank. “You can’t amputate it! That..” she seemed at a loss for words. She was being demoted and she might be amputated? She looked over at her friend Fleckpaw. “.. It’s not Fleckpaw’s fault at all.” She managed to mumble, terrified. Thornkit wanted to wail, maybe she should just obey the rules and not be a brat.

This was just plain stupid. The medicine cat listened as Fleckpaw spilled the entire story, and all Wolfpaw could say? Wow. Just wow. He watched as the hornet demoted Beetlepaw to Thornkit, and honestly, they deserved it. If she was going to act like a kit, might as well be a kit. He let out a scoff once Hollowpaw finished talking to Fleckpaw. "You have bees in your brain. It's greenleaf, its hot out and you are supposed to be out with a warrior since we still have the risk of the owl that took Springlight, - mind you Thornkit shouldn't have left camp at all - and you decide to have a race. I've seen kits smarter then you. The funny thing is you're older then me. So yeah, you were stupid," he snapped, lashing his tail. Stars, could cats actually be this dumb?

His demeanor changed and the tripod stiffened as Wolfhive said Thornkit's leg might have to be amputated. Green hues widened at the horne- was that a wink? Now he knew what they ment. Sorta. He didn't really know how to fixed an injured leg, or if amputation was really needed. He knew he had no other choice, his leg was crushed. Thornkit's... wasn't as bad. So, he really had no idea.

"No clue. If she injured her leg bad enough, then yeah. But even if it can be saved, I still have no clue how 'cause I still know next ta nothin." Wolfpaw watched as Hollowpaw examined her leg, Wolfpaw hobbling over to get a closer look. One thing was for sure, Thornkit's leg isn't as bad as it could have been. "You're lucky - I'll give ya that. Could have been much worse. Still don't know what to do, though," Wolfpaw said, muttering the last part to themselves. Ideas of what he could do flooded his mind as he half-took in what the other medic was saying. Tansy, maybe? But he didn't know if Tansy would be enough.

"Yeah, gettin them water is a good idea. But I'm also stumped so that's probably the best we can do in this position," he said, getting back to his paws. So, that was that. At this point, the medicine cat didn't know what else to do.
