The door to the Infirmary opens. Miyrr walks in with a slight smile as she looks about taking the scene in. Cots filled, healers busy. She walks up to one of various healers that looks to at least be somewhat in charge, "Recruit Miyrr, wishing to volunteer Ma'am." she states with a somewhat joyful tone.
The surprised look on the healer give way to a pleasant smile, "Alright you two, you can start by making sure everybeast is as comfortable as they can be. Don't a go waken' em up now. ya hear?" she says before going back to tending to the dressing of the hare on the cot before her.
Being as quiet as he can and Jarril can be really quiet when he wants to be, he has managed to sneak into the infirmary without making a sound and just leans back against the wall near to where the door is with his arms crossed and watching over the room.
Quinten nods and moves to the other side of the room, stopping at each cot to arrange blankets and pillows, to murmur a query at those who are awake seeing if they need anything, handing them a drink or getting extra pillows, its not until he turns to grab some blankets from a chair that he sees the Major and salutes
Miyrr smiles and nods, "Yes ma'am." She looks about for those that are awake and seem to been fidgeting. She walks over to one of the bucks, his arm bandaged up royally. She grabs an extra blanket and rolls it up before heading back to his cot. "There we go. ok lift it a little higher." She places the rolled blanket to give the arm some support. He nods in thanks. Miyrr smiles. "Ya need anything jus hollar." she says before looking to the next poor beast.
Jarril just gives a nod back but isn't saying anything at all, he's just watching the recruits do their thing, the major not that noticed in the room for the time being.
Quinten stops to talk to a doe, her chest is wrapped in bandages, leaning down he listens to her and nods moving to get another blanket and lay it down over her legs
Miyrr makes her way around the room, a blanket here, a pillow there. She seems to have noticed something as she glanced over one of the worse off. Shaking her head she walks over to one of the healers and whispers something quietly to him. He quickly finishes up what he was doing and takes a look at the one mentioned. He quickly go about redoing some of the bandages. Miyrr continues on.
Quinten sits down on a stool next to a bed and takes a bucks paw patting it and talking to them softly, looking very worried at how clammy their fur feels
Miyrr stops for a moment and places her paws on her hips as she looks about the room. With a deep breath and a smile she makes her way to whoever needs her help. She stops for a while to sit, giving comfort, telling a joke or two or sometimes just listening to what they have to say. Some smile, some laugh, some just grump. It matters not to Miyrr, she keeps on smiling all the while.
Jarril see's the door open and a hare come in, nodding his head, he takes a note, looks at it for a moment and then whispers something back before seeing the buck nod his head an leave again. After which, Jarril becomes what Jarril is, a hare that stands there and says nothing for the time being.
Quinten is still sat on the same stool leaning in closer to whisper to the buck, he raises his head and waves a healer over, they stop by the bed and whisper something to them both, placing a paw on Quinten's shoulder they both remain still listening to the bucks breathing slow, he smilesup at them mumurring something else
Miyrr glances over to the door when it opened and just now noticed the Major. How long has he been there she wonders. She makes her way over to where he is standing, salutes and in a soft voice, "Morning, Sir." She lowers her paw.
Jarril smiles back. "Morning, anything I can do for ya?"
Quinten smiles at the buck in the bed and sighs as he falls asleep, standing up he shuffles over to Miyrr and nods to her "Hey Miyrr....cuse" he slips past her to stick his head into a cupboard"
Miyrr takes a step to get out of Quin's way before turning back to the Major. "Not at the moment sir, just been volunteering my time till I'm cleared to return to training, sir." Ah yes, the recruit in her is showing. It's been a season since she took her leave to handle her family matters but she still remembers her training.
Jarril nods his head back at Miyrr. "Ah, good, well keep up the good work now, won't you?"
Quinten backs out of the cupboard again holding a small bowl in his paws, he goes to sit down on a stool and starts to crush herbs into it with a pestle, looking up he frowns at the buck he was just sitting with and looks away again.
Miyrr nods with a smile, "Yes sure." She salutes once more and turns to return to her task at hand. She sees Quin and makes her way over to him putting her paw on his shoulder. ""vrythin' alright?" she askes looking over the poor buck.
Quinten shakes his head still crushing the herbs slowly "No....they don't think he's going to make it." he flicks his ears back and looks over at the bed then glances at the Major
Jarril doesn't move, nor say anything. Although the healer that had told Quinten is talking to Jarril in a hushed tone and the major just nods. "I'll be right back." Turning around he heads out of the door and leaves the room as the healer comes back over to where Quinten is and talks quietly. "The majah is going ta find his sister."
Quinten nods his head and sighs holding out the bowl of crushed herbs for the healer to take "Ok...anything else we can do?"
Miyrr nods giving a gentle squeeze to Quin's shoulder. She reaches down to brush the hairfur of the buck. "Poor lad." She smiles and nods to the words the healer spoke.
Jarril shakes his head. "Just make that medicine ready." He blinks and heads off to another cot again.
The healer shakes his head. "Just make that medicine ready, then give it to him." He blinks and heads off to another cot again.
Miyrr moves off to help a poor doe make it to the makeshift privy they've set up for those that can move at least somewhat. The doe is putting most of her weight on Miyrr as they take slow steps behind one of the exam partitions.
Quinten nods his head and adds water to the mixutre of herbs and moves over to sit by his head and try to encourage him to drink it, without much success
Coming back into the room, Jarril is with a rather gasping doe who looks like they had run the entire length of the mountain, still wearing boxing gloves, Jarril helps to take them off as he nods his head gently and watches her move to where the cot is that Quinten is at. Not saying anything, Jarril moves away and sits down at the chair by the desk, remaining silent.
After a time Miyrr helps the doe back to her cot and helps her get comfortable once more. She see's Quin having trouble getting the medicine down. Miyrr finds a clean cloth and makes he way to sit beside Quin. "Can I help, my mum got to a point she couln't drink either. I know a trick." she reaches her paw out for the bowl.
Quinten nods and offers the bowl to MIyrr "If you can get him to drink it thats good..." he moves to one side and smiles at the sister "He'll be ok...i'm sure of it" he turns and hurries over to another buck whose about to dislodge a beaker of water, helping him to get it
Miyrr smiles at Quin. She takes the very tip of one of the courners of the towel and dips it into the medicine soaking up a small amount. This she takes in her paw and squeezes a few drops of the medicine into the bucks mouth, "There we go. Not to fast so he wont choke, It takes time but it'll get it in 'im where it needs ta be." she says to Quin before repeating the process.
Quinten smiles once the buck has his beaker of water and moves back to look down at the buck sucking on the corner of the cloth "Thats a neat trick...i hope it works.." he takes his paw and frowns its colder then before "I really do..." he nods to Miyrr as she's handling this he moves off to offer help to someone else, trying to remain proffessional and not get too attached
Miyrr nods, "ya can do it with broth too to give em nourishment." she says as Quin moves off. She continues the process of slowly administering the medicine. Dip, squeeze, dip, squeeze. Memories of her trip home. Her poor mum so ill. She remembers sitting by her bed for hours doing this same task. She sighs once and continues. She smiles and talks quietly to him as she's doing so. Telling him about how beautiful the snow was last night, how it made the sunrise this morning spectacular and other hopeful thoughts.
Quinten has gotten to the end of the row and is leaning on the wall sipping from a beaker and speaking quietly to a healer about a does broken arm and how the splint has slipped, the healer moves off to help sort that and Quinten returns to Miyrr's looking down at him "He looks...so pale.." he murmurs sadly
Miyrr strokes the head fur of the buck again and nods, "I think a fever's set in." she says quietly as she continues to give the medicine.
There is a gasp of worry from the sister who is hovering by the bed, Quiniten grimaces and hurries to get a healer,"
Miyrr continues stroking his head fur and telling him all about her run back to the mountain. How beautiful the trees were and all the birds migrating. About the streams and waterfalls she passed. Even about the food she ate and the fresh berries she stumbled across. Hang on, lad, hang on. The medicine about a quarter gone now. she stops for a moment so he can catch up.
The buck jerks suddenly throwing his blankets off as his hind legs kick out, he emits a strangled gasp kicking the end board of his cot, he then sags down again sweating profusely, the healer who Quinten was half way too comes running over, after a moment they nod "its taking effect try to hold him steady"
Miyrr catches the bowl just before it spills. Still stroking his headfur she talk calmly to him, "It's alright hun." She helps hold him with her other paw so he doesn't thrash too hard. Miyrr looks up to the healer, "Do I need to keep it going in 'em?" she asks hurriedly.
The Healer nods "Feed it all to him," he looks at the sister "Then i want you to stay with him, if we're lucky he'll make it through the night, if he does that he'll be in the clear.." he then points at Quinten "And recruit i need you to go get me some fresh bandages from the store"
Miyrr picks up the bowl, "Can ya grab me a nother cloth before ya go Quin? this one hit the floor when he thrashed." She looks around to see if she can spot one closer to her.
Quinten nods and grabs a clean cloth from a pile and passes it over to Miyrr "I'mgllad your back Miyrr...." he looks around and nods "and i'm glad we volunteered, scuse me now" he heads out to the sotre room to get bandages
Miyrr takes the cloth, "Thank ye. Me too." she says going back to giving the buck his medication.
Jarril gets up after finishing his work on the table and heads out just
as silently as he entered.
