[PRP] Helllllooooo Nurse! (Hecate/Areoiris)

[Painted Moose]

It was in the early morning hours that Hecate found herself dreading the work day. She rolled onto her stomach before pushing herself up with a groan. Since she saw most of her patients in her own den it would need a little sprucing before the work hours started up. As it stood little pieces of poultices and herbs were sprinkled here and there; a result of a late night spend between Hecate and her lady love.

The tan lioness grumbled a few curses under her breath as she popped the creaks out of her bones. Sleeping in just wasn't a possibility when so many needed her services. Even if it did have a certain appeal to it. Maybe just once....? No, her luck she would be woken up by the very patient that needed her. Hecate rolled her eyes and set about cleaning up the main area. Their den was relatively small, though it did have high ceilings and enough ledges in the stone that Hecate could easily organize her wares. If and when she gave two shits, of course.

Ugh, if only she could get herself going. The healer half-heartedly placed a healing mixture on a ledge before leaning against it with her eyes shut.

If you remember the books, you should totes let me know. :O -won't tell a soul your secret-

"Hmm, huh?" Hecate murmured. The lioness had very obviously fallen asleep, half slumped up against the side of her den. She blinked her eyes and attempted to focus. Was Calypso home? This was pretty early for her...Oh hot damn! Patients. Hecate pushed herself off the wall and cough to clear her throat. "Just a second!" Her voice was high pitched, and obviously trying to hide the yawn that came out right after.

She dipped her paw in a gourd of water and ran it through her mane to take care of the worst tangles. It wasn't perfect, but it would have to do. Hecate rolled her shoulders before moving towards the lip of her den. Her eyes widened immediately as the took in the full view. The one day I look like a hot mess... She did her best to smile as she motioned him in. "Come come, have a seat and tell me what's wrong."

Hecate moved closer to the male so that she might take his injured paw into her own. Her touch wasn't unkind, but it was stern enough to show that she wasn't afraid of getting rough. Clucking her tongue, she turned it towards the light and looked with mild horror at the filth around the wound. "I hope this is fresh, otherwise you're looking at a possible infection and painful swelling." Of course she knew it wasn't that bad, but it wouldn't hurt to see him fret a little.

Releasing him, she twisted her body so that she could pulled the little half-gourd of water closer. Hecate took up a worn, though clean, strip of cloth through the water before using it to clean out his paw. She smiled a little and met his orange eyes with blue. "It's alright; just try not to walk on it for a few days and let it heal." Once it was clean enough to suit her standards, she put the now dirtied cloth aside and stood up to rummage around in her concoctions. "So how did you hurt yourself? It wasn't trying to impress some girl was it?" Hecate looked over her shoulder with a devilish grin.

LOL, it happens. xD.

"I would say that you're lyyyyiinnng." With her voice pitched to match drawn out word, Hecate even went so far as to tap her claws in tune on the stone wall. This one was all smiles and talk, so Hecate decided to go with a poultice with a numbing agent in it. The herbs were harder to find than most, but surely Calypso wouldn't mind a little trip into the rogue lands to get more.

"Would you listen to yourself? Flirting with a mated lioness." Of course Hecate baited him with smiles in return, and her playful banter did nothing to dissuade such talk. In fact, she was rather enjoying it. She brought her concoction over to him, scooped up a gob of the dark green goop and gave him a warning look, "It's going to feel cold for a little while, but it won't last long." Hecate held his paw in her left, and applied the poultice.

"Oh, I never said you had to stop." Hecate chuckled with a suggestive little smile. "My mate is...very indulgent to my fancies, you see. She really is too good to me, so I'm sure she would want me to have as many compliments as you care to give me." It was very amusing to ponder over Caly's reaction to all of this. Thankfully the larger lioness wasn't known to be jealous; most likely she would just be dumbfounded by it all.

Maybe embarrassed because of Hecate, but so it went.

"Though now it seems like I might be the one stepping on toes." Hecate reached for a clean cloth and wrapped his paw.

Hecated smirked, but otherwise remained suspiciously quiet. The little wheels in her brain were running every which way. There was a little more to this than she had initially expected out of this visit, and if she worked it just right...

"Poor dear," Shaking her head, Hecate looked over her work once more, and when satisfied, began the process of cleaning up. "I imagine that's difficult for you all. Her children, you...maybe not so much for her, exactly, but the dear needs to be looked after." What does he do with her when he's on call? Hecate was the nosy sort, and wondering about what his mate did all day while he was gone stumped her. It was a wonder she didn't just walk off into the sunset, never to return.

"My mate? Well, if you want to know what she's like, you should meet her." Hecate pointed out. She moved to place her materials back on the 'shelf'. "She's kind, kinder than she should be, and strong. Physically, emotionally, mentally...Caly's the type to take others problems onto her own shoulders, even if she's already buckled down. She puts up with me, if that says anything." She laughed.

Yes and yes. c:

At least he was trying to make things better for his mate. A lot of males wouldn't have stuck around with so much heart ache, but this one was a different breed. It made Hecate appreciate him all the more. Loyal, humorous, easy to talk to...not bad to look at...

Oh yes, this could work.

"Well, if you would like, you could stay here until she comes home. Or we could try meeting tomorrow. Whatever is best for you, really." If Caly returned at her usual hour it would be some time now, but if she sent a messenger...That is, if Caly didn't sniff her out and avoid them both.

That would be horrific.
