OOC Footnote Current HP: 28/30 Current Trust: 17 Section notes: 1/3 clues Nightmare returns to the bat's proximity, and simply sits with it, humming softly. It chatters quietly, watching her inquisitively, and lets her scoot a little closer, till they are within touching distance.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 28/30 Current Trust: 16 Section notes: 2/3 clues Nightmare studies the wing a second time, moving to nudge it slightly with her nose. The bat protests, and tries to wedge itself between some of the stalagmites to put distance between them. Nightmare was able to get a closer look, though, and sees that it's not a clean break, but rather looks like it was crushed against or beneath something.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 28/30 Current Trust: 19 Section notes: 2/3 clues Nightmare inches closer, nosing the bat and sniffing for more insight. She does so carefully, trying not to nudge its wing again, but is surprised to hear the bat chitter softly as it leans slightly against her nose.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 26/30 Current Trust: 19 Section notes: 2/3 clues Nightmare takes the opportunity to inspect the bat further, but it seems the bat prefers its privacy in some cases, and responds to her prodding with a swift bite on her nose. Taken aback, Nightmare sighs grumpily. At least the bat didnt try to scoot away again.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 26/30 Current Trust: 19 Section notes: 3/3 clues Nightmare took another step back. This time she scanned the area, and noticed some stalactites nearby were broken off, and there was blood on what remained of them. Perhaps the bat crashed into them. But was that enough force to break them and crush the bat's wing? Motherfather forbid it was -thrown- into them. Nightmare was not an easy kimeti to frighten, but a chill ran up her spine at the thought of some great and monstrous beast hiding in a cave such as this.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 23/30 Current Trust: 19 Section notes: 4/10 HP Nightmare began to move back to the bat's side, intending to find a way to treat its wound. But she heard rocks shifting and scattering on the floor as something made its way towards her. It was still rather dark, but she could make out its hulking shape. A monstrous, hideous kimeti, slavering at the mouth, made heavy steps as it set its eyes on the bat. As if hungry, its growled menacingly as it drooled. The bat began screeching, both terrified and trying to intimidate.
But for a moment, Nightmare stood in her tracks. "Why...why do you keep tormenting me!" she cried out, shaking with fear and rage. She put herself between the bat and the buck, lunging at the latter with a vicious bite, suffering a swift kick back.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 20/30 Current Trust: 19 Section notes: -1/10 HP The horrendous buck bit at her, drawing blood that stained the white fur of her flanks before blending in with the markings on her legs. Incensed, Nightmare bit back at him, feeling flesh give way as the hideous creature dissolved into air. She could still taste his putrid blood, but there was nothing left of him in her mouth or gaze.
Closing her eyes shut, she caught her breath and regained her composure before seeing if the bat was alright.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 20/30 Current Trust: 19 Section notes: 5/20 units traveled Not wanting to stick around a second longer for that...thing...to reappear. Or something else to unearth itself from the cave's depths...Nightmare fetched the bat and helped it crawl onto her back, where its claws dug into her pelt as best they could.
She decided she would take it home, where it could recover peacefully and safely, but home was still a ways away. Still, they made good distance, even though Nightmare had to be careful not to jostle the bat off her back.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 20/30 Current Trust: 19 Section notes: 2/20 units traveled Nightmare does her best to make her way home, trying to pick up on any familiar paths, but to no avail. Suddenly she trods on a sleeping caiman, who angrily tries to snap at the doe. The ruckus wakes a whole brood of them, and Nightmare grits her teeth and doubles back to take another path. At least no one was hurt...

OOC Footnote Current HP: 20/30 Current Trust: 19 Section notes: 0/20 units traveled The caimans seem to be in hot pursuit, though, forcing Nightmare to keep retracing her steps. Next thing she knew, she was back at the cave's entrance. But the caimans seemed wary of the cave, and wandered back to whence they came.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 20/30 Current Trust: 28 Section notes: 15/20 units traveled The bat remains thankful for Nightmare's steady pace and her allowing the beast to ride on her back. It seems to maintain what strength remained available to it. And the stride doesn't seem to bother its wound too greatly. Nightmare notices more and more familiar sights as she gets closer and closer to her den.

'Realize' by way of running headlong into a patch of brambles, slicing up her legs. But she makes it through the small patch.
