Gavin was doing his alphas dog act around the Great Pyrenees, as all small dogs tended to do in the face of a much larger one, but Lyra steadfastly ignored him, fully focused on the girl laid in front of her. As soon as she was laid down, Lyra gently rolled her over to her side, arranging the body into a recovery position - always the first thing when dealing with an unconscious victim.
"Haven't got a spare jacket or shirt on you, have you?" Lyra asked in response to Major Alexander, glancing up at her briefly. It was entirely relieving to see someone taking charge in such a commanding way, and Lyra felt a huge spike of gratitude towards the woman. "It's hot out here, we need to make sure she's kept nice and cool. Someone use your body to block out the sun from her, yeah?" she ordered, not really caring who did it so long as someone did. With that instruction, Lyra bent closer to the girl and began assessing damages.
The basics came first - a light breath fluttered on her ear, and Lyra felt a pulse underneath her fingers. At least her vitals seemed stable. But what she was really worried about was internal bleeding - dealing with crates falling on a small child, it was always better to assume there was some internal injuries. The problem, however, was treatment. On a deserted island filled with germs and only the basic tools at her disposal, an internal injury could very well mean death. Even if she had been Head of Surgery, just using un-sterlized equipment was incredibly dangerous. With hardly any thought to the crowd, Lyra carefully up the girl's dress to better look at her chest area, where she presumed the crates had fallen on her.
The large bruise across her stomach was very worrying, and Lyra lowered the dress again, biting her lip as she returned to checking for signs of internal bleeding. No fluids or blood were leaking out of her, which was always a good sign, and she didn't seem to be exhibiting signs of serious shock. No clammy skin or rapid pulse. All of it good signs. Lyra felt a flare of hope in her as she continued looking over the girl and re-checking her vitals, but was momentarily distracted by the sudden appearance of a small boy, curious and full of youth and too bloody innocent.
"All right, love," she said, sparing a glance towards the boy with what she hoped was a reassuring smile on her face. "She's just had a bad knock on the head. Say, why don't you go search the nearby sand for some lovely shells to give her when she wakes from her kip, eh?" Lyra suggested, hoping the boy would take her advice and gather a few presents. The last thing she wanted was to have the little boy around if the girl suddenly went into shock or cardiac arrest, both completely possible if there was indeed internal injuries. There was just no telling, though all the signs pointed to a hopeful outcome.
As it was, the most she could do was lightly compress the bruising - not too tight in case her organs were being irritated by bleeding or bruising, but tight enough to help along the healing process. "Don't suppose anyone managed to grab anything cold from the ship," Lyra asked the general crowd, but her voice came out flat rather than a question. They had all been escaping with their lives after all - she highly doubted anyone had thought to grab the cooler box. Carefully, Lyra set to work bandaging up the girl's stomach, gently rolling the girl to get the bandage underneath but making sure her chin was constantly tilted up and her head down, her epiglottis open. When she finished, she sat back on her haunches, sighing briefly and reaching out to pat Gavin's head, who had broken off from growling at the Great Pyrenees to whine into her hand.
"I'm afraid that's it, then," Lyra said, feeling helpless that she couldn't do anything more for the girl. "We'll need to monitor her vitals, keep her regulated. Someone move her into the shade for me, yeah?" she requested, standing up and looking around expectantly. Lyra knew she could carry the girl, but she didn't want to risk jostling her around when someone stronger would be able to provide a smooth ride over to the shade and the flattest possible surface.

Action : Moving the girl into the shade ▮ Feeling : Sad, disheartened ▮ Location : Outside, on the beach ▮ With : Russel, Antigone, Cat, Bunny, Cale, Kro, injured girl
Current Items : Gavin, messenger bag with journal and pen, pocket knife, medical kit

Erm. A 90-100 pound crate falling on top of a 65 pound girl would definitely cause serious, internal injuries, and she would probably bleed out or fall into serious shock (cardiac arrest, seizure, liver failure, etc). But as there is no treatment for those kinds of internal injuries not involving surgery, I'm just saying that she has large bruising on her stomach, no internal or head injuries. Something that can be treated with RICE. Don't want a character to die, after all. x_X ]]
