Soulkit had been practicing climbing on a little tree that a warrior had showed her. It was not so tall that if you failed off that you would fatally hurt yourself, but it was possible to brake an ankle on it. So one day, she was climbing it with help, the other kits cheering her Om, when she fell off near the ver top of the sapling. It hurt so badly, but her personality wouldn't let her show that. She whimpered a little and quickly limped to the medicine den to have them look at it. "Is anyone there?", she squeaked into the den, hoping that she would get a response quickly.

Forestbreak was sorting herbs as per usual. A bundle of fresh leaves were in her mouth, protruding from her crooked jaw. The medicine cat placed them down when she heard footsteps and turned around as she heard a squeaky kit voice.
"Yes, dear. I'm right here. What do you need?" Wearily, she flicked her tail and glanced at the kit, who didn't appear to be bleeding or sick.

Glistenkit was relieved when she heard a medicine cat. "Hi Forestbreak.", she squeaked, a whimper in her voice. "I-I was climbing a tree next to the nursery, just a small one that an apprentice taught me to climb, when I fell of near the very top. When I landed, I realized that my ankle was hurting, I think it may be broken."

"Hm. I've never seen a tree next to the nursery. We're in the moors." She shrugged. "Eh, my eyesight must be going." She leaned forward to inspect the kit's leg. "Hm. Can you wiggle your toes?" That was usually the red flag for it being broken, if they couldn't. In any case, she needed some rush and cobwebs.
Leaning back and grabbing a rod of rush in her jaws, she gnawed on it and broke it in half to turn into a brace.

Glistenkit tried, but she couldn't move it at all without it hurting a lot. She whimpered. "I-I don't think I can, it hurts way to much."

"Mm. Probably broken. You're a kit, though, and it'll surely heal up quickly. I doubt there'll be any permanent damage. It doesn't look too fractured, from what I can see." She positioned the rod of rush next to the kit's leg. "This will hurt a little, so brace yourself. After this, I'm giving you some comfrey, and that will both ease the pain and help mend the bone," the medicine cat said.

Glistenkit sighed in relief. Good. No permanent damage. She braced herself for the sting. "Okay, I'm ready.", she squeaked, voice strong.

Neatly, Forestbreak pressed the rush to the kit's leg, straightened it out while popping the bone into place, and wrapped a few cobwebs around it. "There you go. You're all set with that." She purred and fetched a leaf of comfrey from her storage. "Eat this," the medicine cat mewed, placing the comfrey in front of the kit.

When the medicine cat pushed her bone back into place, it hurt a lot. "Ouch!", she whimpered. However, she wanted to show that she could and would remain strong, so she quickly stopped whimpering and listened to what Forestbreak had told her to do next. She had to eat an herb that had been placed in front of her. It had a very strong stench, but she ate it anyway. "Ewwww.", she said. This tasted as bad as it smelled. But she was determined not to spit it out, and chewed it until she was finished. "Thank you!", she squeaked. "It is feeling a little better already. So what do I do now?", she asked. "Can I please go back to the nursery?"

(Keep in mind that you've got to RP with the injury for a week. c:)
"Oh, no you don't. You're staying here at least overnight, and then you can go back to the nursery, but no walking on that leg for about a moon." She smirked. "Get comfortable. There are some nests in the back. Don't try to move around. Just stay there, okay?" The medicine cat smiled slightly.

Glistenkit nodded. "Yes ma'am.", she said with a smile. She was a little dissapointed that she wouldn't be able to go back to the nursery for a little while, but she let go of it. She was just glad that she was healed. "Thank you so much!", she said with a smile, and then huddled up in one of the nests in the back of the medicine den.
(That's fine, but I can still reply to threads in the nursery, correct?)

(As long as you RP with the injury, yes.)
Forestbreak nodded. "If you need anything, just holler," she mewed, a small smile on her face. "I'm at your service." She returned to sorting her herbs and kept watch on Glistenkit out of the corner of her eye. She didn't want the kit sneaking off to the nursery.

Glistenkit replied, "Thanks!", and curled up in her nest, drifting off to sleep.
(Alright, I will scoot for a little bit and then start limping probably once I get my ceremony.)
