Post Surgery Birds

A followup to [[ Little Bird Surgery Service]]

		Hayatiento Aerie, Unmesi Residence, Evening

A young fledgling rests supine on a bed, her wing bandaged up and carefully resting on a pile of pillows. A bundle of blood stained rags rest in a bin off to the side. Sleeping soundly.

Slixvah lays in a pile off to the side, half strung over a chair, a waterskin in hand and half dozing. It had been a long surgery, several hours in the process.

The scent of heavenly food permeates the space, Mamaw tiptoeing in with a pile of sandwiches and soups. "... iiiiits dinner tiiime...!" she quietly coos to the room.

The Goblin lays draped over Slixvah's lap, laying limply, and breathing deeply. The surgery was successful, and went well for the wee patient. Not so much for Simony, the reaction to the traumas causing her great stomach upset. At the end of it all, she could barely stand without holding the operating table for support.

She fell asleep almost immediately. But at the mention of dinner, her ears move, and her nose sniffs at the air. Her eyes flutter open, and she lets out a great yawn. Simony turns her head to peer at Slixvah. "Hi.", she says in a small voice. "Did someone say dinner time? Did we miss lunch?"

Reithak had taken a chair off to one corner of the room once everything was done. The large egalrin swapped to a fresh pair of robes, and they had a small board and yarn in their lap to work on while the others were sleeping.

"Misses Unmesi? I'm sure everyone could really use some of your cooking." The inquisitor greets quietly, leaving her seat and heading to the door after a long stretch. "Guess we did, didn't really have time for stopping, but that's alright."

Slix's eyes flutter open at Simony's stirring. She yawns too, patting Simony on the head as she wakes up. "Hello~!"

Jinaru grins, stepping forth and putting plates down. "don' worry! I got food 'nuff ta make up fo missin' it! Wake up hons!" She gets a bowl of soup, stepping over to the youngling and gently brushing her head.

Bani stirs, groggy.

Simony has a spurt of energy, enough to get her up and moving. She grabs two sandwiches at random, and returns to Slixvah's lap before she can move too much. One sandwich is offered up to the Egalrin, while the other sandwich is quickly inhaled in three bites. The Gobbo chews and swallows noisily, letting out a little sigh of contentment.

"Delicious.", she says, as her stomach gurgles noisily.

Her eyes go to the awakening youngling, a little smile coming to her face. Resting her chin on Slix's knee, she watches Mamaw at work.

"I'm up, I'm up, don't worry 'bout me." Reithak yawns, wandering over to where everyone else was sitting. "Maybe not Slix though, heavens know she needs the sleep probably more than me, what with her doing the brunt of the work."

"Nothing quite like an egalrin ma's cooking." The inquisitor chuckles quietly, keeping one eye on Bani and her mother just in case.

The witch was about to get up, but is soon pinned back down with a gobber on the lap. Slix gives a nod of appreciation, taking the sandwich and delivering a massive bite into the side of it. "Oh bless you Mamaw..." she croons.

"Oh it ain' nothin' ya'll. Get ya somethin', Reithak hon. I made enough for all of y'all two times over," Jinaru hums, giving a closed eye smile as she returns to Banilex. "Heeeey Baaaani... wakey wakey..."

Bani groans quietly, eyes blearily opening. "... buh.... everything... so heavy..." <Auran>

"Tha's okay, Baby Bani, jus' sip some soup okay?" Jinaru chirps back, feeding the child spoonful by spoonful. <Auran>

Slix shakes her head. "Naw, I jus' did the nitty gritty healin', Simony's blessin's and ya raw muscle was pulling- bah, naw, equal team effort," she snickers.

GAME: Simony rolls linguistics: (14)+10: 24
<OOC> Simony says, "Just seeing how well Simony follows along."

The Gobbo is up again, returning shortly with another sandwich, and a bowl of soup. The soup's offered to Slixvah, while she inhales the sandwich. "We did good work.", she says tiredly, yawning widely after swallowing the sandwich. Her ears perk up at Auran being spoken, and she listens with interest.

"Poor thing, she sounds so tired. Some soup's just the thing!", Simony says excitedly. "Thank you, Mamaw Unmesi. Your sandwiches are delicious."

"Course, course, I'm not trying to say I didn't help or anything, just, I've seen how exhausted you get when you're helping a lot of people." Reithak tuts quietly, reaching down to ruffle the witch's head.

"Well, I wont turn down some food either." The inquisitor admits, sneaking over to grab a sandwich. The first one is swallowed in one piece, and a second is taken back to where she just was after stopping to smile to the young Egalrin. "You did great Bani, listen to your ma, she's a smart cookie."

Slix happily accepts the soup. "We sure did," she hums, working on the bowl. A little laugh escapes her from Reithak's ruffling. "I kno' Reirei, but thi' is totally different."

"'course! Ain't no problem at all. Eat as much as ya like. Slivvie's grubby siblings kept trying to get at it but it wasn' fo' them!" Jinaru snickers before turning towards Bani-

-who was weakly pulling herself up to a sit! Jinaru's eyes widen as she sets the food aside to support the kid. "I-I can do it..." Bani whimpers, arms wobbling. Her casted wing shifts, and she grimaces, falling back down to her front. A heavy sigh escapes her, and more soup is ladled into her beak. "I jus'... wanna glide again..." she sniffles. <Auran>

"Jus' because its magic, Bani, don't mean its all good ta go in one day. Give it a week, okay?" Slix chirps, concerned. <Auran>

Simony is content for the moment, her stomach gurgling away as it begins digesting the inhaled sandwiches. Her ears perk up a little as Banilex attempts to get up, and she lets out a little sigh as the wee Egalrin flops back onto the bed. "The fact that she's trying to sit up is good news.", the Gobbo says softly. "Good on her." Grinning, she turns over onto her back, crossing her legs.

"You glide soon. Rest for now.", Simony says in stilted Auran. <Auran>

"Yeah, but it was a lot of work. You did well, Slix." Reithak hums, leaning against one of the walls and adjusting the goggles she still had on above her eyes. The larger egalrin shakes her head slowly. "Easy there Bani, that stuff you drank earlier isn't all gone just because you're awake. It'll take a while to completely wear off, so let us make sure you're doing alright, okay?" Reithak offers. "Slix is right, give it some time to recover, it's not going to be better instantly, and she wants to make sure you don't injure it again before you're ready, alright?"

"Well, ya get stuck in bed fo' months on end wit' a healed wrong limb, an' finally ya all fixed, even th' shiest person is gonna get stir crazy wantin' ta get out," Slix mentions to Simony.

Bani pouts at Reithak. "... okay..." she sniffles. "... I just... I'm really tired and scared... I don't want it to hurt."

Slix stares at her sister. "... Bani, sugar, we're done."

Bani blinks owlishly. ".. what?"

Jinaru smiles. "Yep! All done! You just gotta rest now little goober!" <Auran>

"It's still a good sign, though. I think you will have a hard time keeping her in bed after a couple nights rest, and your Mamaw's cooking." Simony giggles lightly, and then yawns suddenly, stretching all her limbs out, and quivering. "Hmm, I think I'll get some soup next."

"In a couple of minutes."

Her giggle is a little scratchy. "Yes, everything is fixed. You sleep. Get strong."

"Yeah, most egalrin tend to be free spirits. I don't blame her in the slightest for wanting to get out." Reithak nods to the goblin. The large egalrin blinks, and chuckles loudly. "Nothing to be afraid of, Bani!" She answers happily. "It's all taken care of, Slixvah fixed your wing right up, but you gotta give it time for your body to finish healing everything up."

"Did ya just think we were sitting around for nothing? Making sure you were taken care of was our number one priority." The inquisitor grins.

"Oh don'chu worry 'bout tha'. Bani can eat all she wants comin' up. She gonna have a killer appetite!" Jinaru beams. "It's tru tho', hate bein' all cooped up! Why you think we got all them holes that lead outside? Sometimes we jus' gotta leap out 'em and get some air!"

Bani looks up to Reithak after getting the last of her small bowl finished, dewy eyes blinking. "R-Really really..?" she chirps in a small voice. "I... o... okay. I can... get more sleep. I am kinda sleepy..." Bani lays her head back down, looking at everyone in the room before her sleepy gaze rests on her mended wing laid out. ".. thanks for... fixing it..." she sniffles, looking like she's going to cry- aaand she's out. <Auran>

Slix subtly wipes at her eyes. "Ya welcome, Banilex."

You're welcome, kiddo.", Simony says softly. "It'll be nice to see her running around, gliding and laughing." The Gobbo hops off of Slixvah's lap once more, and wanders over to Jinaru, leaning into the Egalrin and hugging at her. "I'll bet that's a load off of your shoulders, Mamaw Unmesi. And thank you once more for the food." The Goblin's stomach growls loudly. "My stomach demands more.", she says with a giggle.

<OOC> Simony says, "FIX: Add leading quote mark."

"Really, really really." Reithak nods gently, grinning to the small egalrin. "You're welcome Bani, thanks for being so cooperative with all this. Slix'll probably want to take a look again when you've rested up, but for now, get some sleep." "Always good to really help someone in need. Thanks for letting me help out." Reithak sighs, taking a bite out of her sandwich and chewing in thought for a moment. "Better hurry up Simony, get something to eat before I claim Slix's lap for myself."

Jinaru gives Simony a right tight hug. "Oh you betcha, hon. Been worried sick these past long months ever since she broke it and fell ill. Once she's all betta, I'm throwin' a big ol' party fo' the fam and anyone tha' wants ta come!" she coos brightly.

Slix's brows raise up. "Now I wouldn' be opposed ta tha-"

"Ohoho now missy, we have guests!" Jinaru chides Slixvah, wagging a finger and winking at Reithak. "C'mon girls, lets give Bani some quiet and eat in the dinin' room, yeah?" Mamaw suggests, picking up what remains of the food and ushering the trio out with her wings. "I gots some liquor left over from when Slixvah cleared the cabinet out for a party."

Slix rubs her neck. "I returned it!"

"Half of its gone, young missy, now lets go work on putting a dent in what you started..!"
