The doctor nods and reaches for Ptelea. "What all seems to be hurting?" He glances the girl over and notices some of her wounds, but Demi doesn't know the specifics and needs a little more explanation.

Kianna nods, "Yes Sacha." She decides it'd be best if she moved in front of them to be able to focus on their surroundings. The brawler steps forward and begins to head out of the camp.

Jayden watches, actually interested in the fight. Maybe he'd take a real part of it this time. He waited down on the ground though, having no ability to soar into the air as the two bird situations.

Ptelea's hand still had the scalpel impaled through it, she had small burns from being electrocuted, and her cuts on her cheeks weren't quite healing. Her other hand was red and bruised from being twisted and slammed on a board. Her ankles had cuts from being pulled at with wire. And her tongue should be looked at. But I'm not telling a doctor how to do his job.

Aya chooses to shift and flies to a branch just outside of camp. At least she could be helpful by scouting ahead. "Coast's all clear so far!" she chirps cheerfully, although there was hardly any likelihood of danger when they were only at the entrance of camp. She shudders for a moment, thinking of Fabine and Vera standing in the one place that felt safe. She hopes that will never happen again.

Sacha rolls her eyes in amusement. "Oh...this is going to be a long mission." She huffs softly to herself as she follows Kianna towards the river. She frowns, trying to decide the best course of action. Should they actually take Destin from the Brom camp and risk instigating a battle yet again? Or just see how he was doing?

Liwei's tan, taut back musculature flexed subtly as he hunched over the fluorescent screen of a secondhand laptop. He leaned over the console from the uncomfortable perch of the passenger's seat. He and Mona had traded off between tours in and out of their parking places near the forest, searching for strong cell signals and scrounging for snacks at the local gas station. He had turned to using the internet on his phone to power the laptop he had snagged - now used as a surveillance unit for the Servals' network. Evidently, several days had passed in his version of canon, despite only a few hours transpiring in the forest. He ignored this paradox, instead focusing on a line of text, half buried in broken CSS. He jabbed the screen and nudged Mona. "Hey, M. Do you think we should warn those kids about..." He stared closer at the sentence. "Looks like they're planning to do another capture run."

Admi the compound nurse slid gently into the room beside the doctor, her sterile white plimsolls scuffing on the tiles as she came to a stop. She regarded the two children with a warm expression in the honey brown of her round eyes, just beneath a mask of concern. She spoke lightly. "Oh, you poor dears." She glanced over at the doctor. "I was sent. I'm assisting you."

Her other hand was red and bruised from being twisted and slammed on a board. Her ankles had cuts from being pulled at with wire. And her tongue should be looked at. But I'm not telling a doctor how to do his job.

The doctor eyes the impaled hand, but doesn't look too surprised at the severity of it. He had seen all sorts of injuries in this line of work, and just went to help the girl as best as possible. He goes to retrieve the supplies needed; needle, thread, guaze, disinfectant, burn cream, a wrist brace... this was going to be a little lengthy to do. He gathered them regardless and after a moment headed back over to the girl.

Kianna ignores Sacha's comment and continues on. She didn't smell anyone, but then again they weren't close to the river just yet. She walked in silence, trying to give her shoulder a break. She had to be able to fight if needed.

Abbi spits curses at Cici and hits the ground rather roughly as the Brom pins her down. "Get the hell away from me!" She screeches, sinking her smaller talons into Cici's legs. She risks a glance to the side and swears under her breath as she see the mountain lion confiscate her precious bow. Looking back up to her current attacker, Abbi beats her small wings furiously and claws her talons rapidly.

Jayden couldn't really feel sympathy for the girl, as she approached them first. After all, they were still on Brom territory. Her mistake. He stood over the bow carefully. "So are you questioning your choice to approach us?" He asks, eyes locked on her and Cici.

Aya hops from branch to branch as they walk, staying slightly ahead of both Sacha and Kianna. "We're almost at the river," she calls down to them at one point, flying back a bit to deliver the news to them. "I'm uh... I'm pretty unfamiliar with Brom territory. Do either of you know it?"

"I was sent. I'm assisting you."

Mona glances at him. She frowns a bit. "How big of a capture run? And are you sure its of this forest? We didn't see much in way of kids here? What makes you think they'll come back?" She was irritated about their inability to go home. She just wanted a nice shower and to sleep in a nice bed instead of in musty hotels and in the back of the van. She sighs heavily, shaking her head.

Ambrose watches the nurse warily. He scoffs, then turns his attention back to the doctor. He didn't like this...two against two, one technically, there was no way he'd let Ptelea fight. He watches their every move carefully. No matter what they said, theystill worked for that old man, and he knew he couldn't trust them.

The doctor first goes to remove the scalpel as carefully as possible. He knew the girl would feel immense pain but couldn't do much about that. He dabs the wound with disinfectant as the tool was removed, then chews on his bottom lip. Her hand would need stitches, on both sides. He went to begin that procedure.

Kianna kept moving. "I've been in bits and pieces. We should be able to find the camp."

ptelea sits on the table and looks around curiously, swinging her legs She looks at the doctor and smiles. "Hi! I'm Ptelea!" She holds a hand out politely.

Fabine flies down and lands on her shoulder. "Now I'm curious. Who was this puppy?" He fluffs out his feathers. "Sorry to hear about your mom."

Misha passed him a sardonic smirk. "Oh, you know - me and my siblings. Eaten alive, like I said." She shrugged, palms outstretched dismissively. Her eyes were closed in the motion, but she opened them to look directly at him. "We.. really outta get back. Crisis mode, remember? Not a therapy session?"

Cici yelps a bit as she feels talons in her legs. Growling she attempts to wrap her own talons around Abbi's body and take off into the air. Can bald eagles do that? I have no idea.

Sacha sighs heavily. "Yes Aya. I have been to the Brom camp...many times." She didn't really feel like explaining anything about why she'd have gone to the Brom camp before. She then smiles at Aya. "Do you see anyone at the river?"

The doctor looks at Ptelea and nods at her. "Hello there." He holds the hand as he continues to work at the wound.

Kianna kept moving. "I've been in bits and pieces. We should be able to find the camp."

Ptelea begins crying as he begins removing the scalpel. She tries to pull her hand away, before feeling another hand on her wrist.

"Ptelly, don't make this any harder on the doctor, or yourself." Ambrose says softly, holding her wrist.

Ptelea sniffs and looks away from her brother, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Fbine nods a bit. "Alright, we can head back, but I'm not letting up Misha." He snorts. "Therapy is but one of my many occupations as leader." He smirks and turns, heading back towards the Brom camp.

Sacha sighs heavily. "Yes Aya. I have been to the Brom camp...many times." She didn't really feel like explaining anything about why she'd have gone to the Brom camp before. She then smiles at Aya. "Do you see anyone at the river?"

Aya flies up for a moment and then back quickly to make sure she didn't miss anything. "Nope, this area is just as quiet as you predicted!" she sounds happy. Thank goodness they didn't have to deal with a confrontation. For the moment, anyway. "This is a crossing as well, so we don't need to worry about falling in or anything." Her words make her think of Destin again. She pushes away the though, determined to concentrate on bringing back rather than that which she couldn't change.

Sacha nods. "Sounds good. Hopefully it'll be this easy to avoid people once we cross the river." She says, glancing around as she walks. She sighs, shaking her head. "Stupid Broms can't even patrol this half of the river properly. No wonder Destin was so easily taken to our camp..." She shrugs. "Alright Aya, keep an eye out!"

Abbi opens her beak to snap a prideful reply at Jayden but is taken by surprise as she feels herself being lifted into the air by Cici. Thinking quickly, she shifts back to her human form and throws the large bird off of her before squaring up to her full height at Jayden in attempt to retireve her much needed bow. "Of course not." She finally replies, expression stony and her arms covered in scratches.
