Tasha breathes in sharply, teeth clenched in a grimace as she struggles to keep still.
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
James wanted to say sorry, but he knew what had to be done. There were no words. He just hoped that in the long term this would help her and not hurt her. When he finishing pouring on the disinfectant he grabbed more clean rags to clean around the wounds before wrapping them. He persistently ignored the throbbing of his head and the aching of his body as he tended to her wounds, feeling that her blood loss was their greatest and most pressing concern that needed to be taken care of. Once she was wrapped up, he would worry about himself.

She doesn't make a sound, though it's clear in her eye that it hurts, as he wraps her bloodied wounds. "Thanks," she quietly says through clenched teeth.
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
He only nodded slightly in reply. As he finished wrapping her wounds he spoke up, "Let me know if you start bleeding again or something." He replied softly, wishing he had a better way to relieve her from her pain.
"You rest." He said, holding out a hand to motion her to stay put. "Don't worry about me. I can care for myself." He insisted, as he began to clean his own with the few rags left. For the most part, it was him cleaning up the grangor's blood and not his own. Or that was his assumption, since his cuts weren't that deep.

"You sure? You took quite the beating." The woman is pale as a sheet as she speaks.
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
"Yeah, but I'm used to it." James said with a small grin, though it faded as he looked at her pale face.
"Let me get you some water." He mumbled in a hurried tone, as he grabbed her canteen of water and brought it to her. Knowing how deep her wounds cut in the front, he didn't want to let her even try to move her arms up very much, so he lifted it up to her mouth for her. "Stay with me." He urged her, watching her eyes to gauge her alertness and how she was holding on. "Just let me help you... the... the grangor did this to me too. It's best not to push yourself."
Spoiler! :
since he's lacking a shirt at the moment she's probably caught at least a glimpse of the massive scars on his back from the grangor's paw slashing across it, so she probably knows he's not just talking about their recent fight with it

Oh man I'm in this one RP right now where she's all like being captured and interrogated and everything and omg it's so bad XD I'm just dying here
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

James hesitated, opened his mouth to speak, but then closed it. "...Ok." He agreed, and sat back down. He grabbed his bowl of herbs and began applying it to his own cuts, and, conversely to how he treated Tasha, did it quickly, and then quickly wrapped himself up. Once he'd gotten his cuts wrapped, there wasn't much he could do about his bruises, or his headache. He was just lucky that he hadn't broken anything (to his knowledge, anyway).
He picked up another one of his roots and contemplated on how to feed it to Tasha, simultaneously leaning back onto a rock and sighing.
An RP with RavenLord on the RP Geeks. We did agree to let her get captured. She was out scouting, got caught, and won't reveal info so...XD There's a rescue mission now tho
"How are we going to get out now that the grangor's dead?"
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
omg that's intense. I 10/10 would join the rescue crew. but what info is she hiding??? wHAT BIG SECRET
James looked over to Tasha, his brows rising up in surprise. He had become so accustomed to being trapped in the cave that freedom from it had yet to cross his mind.
"I suppose... the same way I came in. I know the way out of this forest." He looked down to the ground in thought. "If you need and want, I can guide you to the nearest town. I remember how to get out. I... well, I made maps. But we won't travel until you've healed up."
"We should go soon, before another kitty shows up."
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
James pursed his lips and sighed. She was right. "... Alright, we can do that. But you should at least rest for the night. Or a day. How long do you think you need?"
