Clinton nodded sharply and tried breathing along with Coricopat's word, though he was still embarrassed that the tom had walked in to see him in such pain. Jenny's paw at his hip was soothing, at least, and the breathing did help him relax his muscles somewhat. He lifted his leg at Jenny's request, but not before he caught her blush. A smile flickered across his face, even through the pain. Adorable.
"Are you- did you get hurt, Coricopat?" He cleared his throat. The attack had happened quite quickly, and Clinton hadn't been incredibly lucid for all of it. He thought he remembered Alonzo mentioning something about Victoria... But that didn't make sense, why would she have been there?

the calico tom cleared his throat as well and turned so that they could see his tail, which had a nasty swelling just about in the middle.
"yes the Brute....stepped on my tail when I dodged past him. whether he meant to or not he brought down his full weight on it." Cori said then he added with a sigh not realizing how much he sounded like Gus, "I doubt that I am going to sit or walk right for at least a week!"

Jenny did have an ear to the conversation between the two males, but she was focusing more on Clinton's health and welfare. She watched with sympathy as Clinton raised his leg up. Moving closer, she began to wrap up Clinton's leg. She hmm'ed as she thought more in depth about the injury Clinton had received because of her. She was touched beyond her ability to express it, that a tom liked her enough to block a pollicle attack from harming her. However, she was still devastated by the deep gash in his leg and did feel guilty. Hearing Coricopat's injuries, she raised her head from the task at hand. "I will get with you in just a moment, hon." She stated to Coricopat, and then continued wrapping up Clinton's leg, as slow as she could possibly go, in order to keep herself from hurting Clinton further. She just hoped the two toms would fill in the silence with chatter, while she finished up.

((Sansa gave her approval to continue this thread, Dodd.))
[[About a half hour has past, and Clinton is currently unconscious or asleep on the bed.]]
With one final gaze at the sleeping tom, Jenny turned around and faced Coricopat. She gestured to one of the other beds as she walked up to the dark calico tom. "I apologize for the wait, Coricopat, hon. Now lets get you on this bed." She did frown slightly, deeply regretting that the distraction and scare Clinton had put her through had made her forget what Coricopat was going through. "Now, hon, please tell me what's hurting." She patted the bed invitingly at Coricopat, not really registering that that motion could have been taken in a different meaning.

the calico tom limped forward and gingerly settled down as he slowly lifted his tail.
"I have some bumps and scrapes but mostly it's my tail the policle....ahem...stepped on it with his full weight and he was a solid fellow!" Coricopat replied wincing.
a polite rapping came from the frame of the dens entrance, "hello. Dame Jenny a little bird down at tha Lark and Rose told me that ya had some patients so ah brought so food ta ya!" a friendly brogue called.

Jenny frowned as she stepped closer to Coricopat once more. Her eyes were glued to his limp and she nearly fretted enough to help him into the bed herself. However she refrained, but stayed close by in case he needed her. As soon as he was on the bed, she gently pushed on his shoulder. "Just lay that way slightly so I can get a look at your ru-" Jenny was cut off from saying his 'rump' by a knock and a voice at the front door of the infirmary. Jenny barely glanced in. "Well come on in you old coot. Better yet, why don't you drop 'em off then come over here." Jenny loved the company and if there was another cat with the means and free arms, she wasn't above putting them to work or using their help.

the scarred old tom entered the den with a laugh, set the box down and crossed the den.
"ahh my boy do ya have somthin wrong wi ya Bum?" he asked his eyes twinkling.
Coricopat frowned "ahem yes there is a 12 stone Policle stepped on my tail if you must know." he said with a bit of wounded dignity.
Stubby gave him a good natured wink "all right me Lass wha can Ah do ta help?"

Jenny found herself rubbing at Coricopat's back gently, in order to ease the more reserved tom. "And the old codger here and I will fix you up, honey." Jenny frowned slightly thinking back on that big pollicle dog rushing at her. Her head tilted as Stubinz asked her what she needed from him. Jenny smirked over at the older tom,"Well since you're incapable of standing there looking pretty; I need you to head into the back room and grab an herb that'll numb him, or one that will reduce his pain." Her tail thumped silently on the floor of the den before she used her free paw,"Go on you." Then she looked back down at Coricopat. "There is not much I can do aside from prescribing you something for the pain and ordering you to get a lot of rest, you know. But Jemima's a good kid, she'll take care of you."

the old tom chuckled, "as tha Doctor orders!" he said as he headed off into the back.
Coricopat settled himself down with as much dignity as he could muster.
"ahem go right ahead jenny do what ever you think best." he said quietly and winced when he heard Stubby call from the store room "so Jenny love would that be a plaster or a tonic that ya would be wantin?"

Jenny's eyes had briefly flicked up at the older toms holler from the backroom and hung her head slightly. "He's hopeless, absolutely hopeless." Jenny muttered more to herself, but she was positive Coricopat had heard her. But her healer's instinct took over and she was staring down at Coricopat, with soft eyes and a warm smile. "I can also wrap up your tail where the mangy mutt stepped on it, but I can't promise that it won't hurt. Still, it'll give you some support and you or lil Jemster will have to unwrap once a day." Jenny still felt the need to touch the dark calico, to reassure him. Jenny, once she was assured that Coricopat was as comfortable as he was going to be, yelled back at Stubby. "I'm leaving that up to Coricopat, you blind old bat. Oh and grab some bandages for wrapping his tail up, that is if you can see them." Stubby was a good friend, but sometimes he brought out the kid in her and she resisted the urge to stick out her tongue childishly (especially when he wouldn't even see it anyway). "Now dear," Jenny spoke with a more soothing tone down at Coricopat. "Would you prefer dried medicine or liquid?"

Coricopat found the banter both reassuring and comforting. the calico tom sighed
"liquid would be just fine, and I do think the wrap is a good idea as well." he said as Stubinz limped from the store room his arms full. despite his mangled left fore paw he managed to balance both a canister, a jug and the bandages.
with great care he set them out next to Jenny.
"an here ya be Doctor" the old tom said.

She took the wraps from Stubinz and laid them on the bed beside Coricopat then grabbed the liquid medicine that Stubinz was holding out for her. She rolled her eyes at the older tom. "Thank you, aide." She was grinning, but turned away from Stubinz and glanced down at Coricopat. "Alright sweetie." She wiggled the jug of medicine in front of Coricopat's face. "Drink up." The healer had a fond smile on her face. "Take two gulps now, and then drink one gulp at regular intervals whenever the pain becomes too great." Her eyebrow raised up as she glanced over at Stubinz, but she was still talking to Coricopat. "I pray I won't need to tell you 'Doctor's orders'."

the old tom leaned in with a grin "listen ta her Ladibuck, wise s is!
an easy tha eyes besides yer Nurse may a be up ta snuff but she's bonny enough fer us both!" Stubinz said.
the calico tom coughed and sputtered as he had just started to swallow the liquid when the old tom spoke. "haough-koff um yes indeed." he said giving the old tom a glare
"thank you for all your help Jenny. how often should the dressing be changed?"
Coricopat said.

Jenny scoffed, though she couldn't hide the fact that she was slightly blushing and embarrassed from the small compliment and his insinuation. "Oh hush you." She had half a mind to throw one of the rags at his face. And before she even realized what she was doing, the rag was already out of her paw, and in the air flying at Stubinz head. "Flatter me all you want, you old bat." She had no venom to her voice, as her expression did little to hide the smile on her face. "I apologize Corie, dear." Her voice faltering only slightly at the end. Did Coricopat agree because he thought she was attractive and enough for both of them, or was he just agreeing to agree. She was leaning toward the second one, considering how many times she heard how attractive she was in all seriousness. Enough that she could count all the times on one paw. She spoke firmly, despite her internal insecurities. "At least twice a day, but you aren't going to want to wrap it too tight. Plus you'll need to keep it unwrapped at night. Give it a week and you're tail should be feeling seventy...eighty percent better."

as the old tom ducked the rag with a grin the Calico tom gave Jenny a thankful smile.
Stubinz stepped back with a bow and a wink. with a twitch of his mangled tail the old tom scooped up the rag and limped over to one of the counters and dropped it into a basin.
while he did so Coricopat gave Jennyanydots a shy smile "he is right you know, you are prettier than you are usually given credit for. but ahem I will of course follow you're instructions."
