"I'm... sorry..." He practically whispered as Mari approached, his voice sounding dry. His breathing then began to slow down, yet he felt light-headed after the physical exertion of fighting for his life. He watched the otter through half-closed eyelids. "Had... t'be... done..."

Mari shushed him gently as she kept tending his wounds. I know it did, Ghost. Try not to move or talk now. Just save your strength. Her eyes grew wet with unshed tears as she kept working.

" 'Kay..." Ghost murmured, needing no second urging. His eyelids closed, and everything went black as he fell into unconsciousness. Nearby, his sword gleamed in the evening light, the blade a bright orange as the sun set over the western plains not too far from where they were. Peace reigned once more in Mossflower wood.

Mari layed his unconscious form down on the grass and used her rucksack as a cushion for his head. She kept tending to his wounds, cleaning them and putting poultices on them before binding them with clean cloth or stitching them and binding them. She worked all through the night, making sure they all stopped bleeding and that they were clean so that they wouldn't get infected.

All throughout this, Ghost remained unconscious, or asleep, whichever one he came into. As his wounds were being treated, he dreamed of his childhood, with loving parents there to support and guide him.
He remembered his father's joking expression and good-humored laugh, his wit. He also rememberd his mother, her sweet voice and kind, smiling face as she sung him to sleep. But then, gradually, they faded away, and Ghost was brought back somewhat into reality. His dream was just that, a dream and nothing more, one of the past. Unknowingly, a tear rolled down his cheek as he lay on the ground, seeing them fade away into the darkness, appearing to abandon him.

Mari wiped the tear of his cheek gently and dabbed at his forehead with a cool wet cloth. She hoped that dagger hadn't had poison on it. She wasn't sure how to treat a poison victim.

OOC: Time-warp! Fasten your seatbelts!!
When Ghost finally opened his eyes a millimeter, he realized that it was mid-morning, though how many days he had been out of it he did not know. Blinking tiredly, he noticed that all of his wounds were cared for in one way or another. Then he remembered what had happened in one instant. The thief. The otters. The fight. He moved his head to one side, searching for Rio and Mari. OOC: BTW I'm tryin' colored type as well.... >.>

Mari noticed his open eyes and walked over to him quietly. You're finally awake. How are you feeling? She rewet the cloth and placed it back on his forehead gently as she watched him anxiously.

Ghost blinked again as Mari moved to put the cloth back on his forehead. "Could be better..." He replied hoarsely, but not as weak as before. "Where's Rio?" He asked as the damp coloth was set on his brow.

She looked over his wounds carefully, judging which bandages needed to be changed and which could go a little longer without being changed. He's out foraging for herbs and food. He should be back soon. Although he probably should've been back by now...

Ghost tried to sit up at the last sentence spoken by Mari. "'D'you know where he is?" he questioned furthur, concerned for the otters. after all, they had clearly helped him, maybe even saved his life. If Rio was captured by the horde...

Mari pushed him back down gently. I'm afraid not, and even if I did, You're too hurt to go after him right now. Rio's tough and smart. He can take care of himself. He'll be fine.

Ghost first winced as he tried to sit up, then nodded in understanding, lying back down upon the ground. After a minute or so of thought and gazing up at the sky, he looked back at Mari.
"Mari," He said, breaking the silence, "Thank you."

Mari smiled kindly and grasped his paw gently in hers. Anytime, Ghost. That's what friends do. They're always there to help and take care of each other. You're my friend, so I'm going to help you as best I can.

"Even after...?" Ghost replied, meaning the recent incident. He had killed a beast in feral rage, with no weapons to be had other than his claws and fangs. It led the fox to assume that the otters would remain scared of him, of what he might do. Well, at least that assumption was proven wrong, he thought.
