OOC Footnote Current HP: 18/30 Current Trust: 31 Section notes: 12/20 units traveled Nightmare takes a moment to soothe the bat, who became frazzled after their sudden rush into the brambles. The bat seems to appreciate her humming, and its tension relaxes a bit.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 18/30 Current Trust: 34 Section notes: 17/20 units traveled Nightmare keeps humming as she picks a path through the brambles that surround her den. The bat seems to almost fall asleep on her back, it's become so calm and trusting of her.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 16/30 Current Trust: 34 Section notes: 17/20 units traveled Nightmare keeps picking her way through the thorns, but she feels confused. Were they always this thick and overgrown? The thorns graze her flanks and legs, as she tries carefully for them to not p***k the bat.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 16/30 Current Trust: 34 Section notes: 22/20 units traveled Finally, she and the bat break through the thorns to the other side, and make the last stretch to her den. She sets the bat down gently on her bedding, next to her slumbering owlcat.
"Play nice, you two," she says quietly before leaving the den again. She must find a way to treat the bat's broken wing, but she hadn't any supplies in her den, nor the real knowledge of what she needed.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 14/30 Current Trust: 34 Section notes: 16/20 HP Nightmare remembers an acquaintance of hers, a witch of sorts who would know what is needed to treat wounds. She called out her name, Crows Blood, and was surprised to see the black-pelted doe emerge from the corner of her eye. Crows Blood didn't even wait for Nightmare to speak, she seemed to already know what was needed, and pointed in the direction past a barrier of brambles.
Somehow knowing what she meant, Nightmare approached the brambles that were once her protection and began to tear them apart.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 9/30 Current Trust: 37 Section notes: 10/30 Progress Beyond the brambles, Nightmare found what she was looking for. The bat notices her return with the makings of a splint, and fresh new scrapes and cuts. It seems to realize what she was intending to do, and scoots closer while chittering.

She works gently, trying not to spook the bat again, who stays as still as possible to help her work.

OOC Footnote Current HP: 6/30 Current Trust: 40 Section notes: 36/30 Progress With the final touches in place, Nightmare sighs with relief at her work and steps back. Her owlcat inspects the splint with a few sniffs, as the bat does the same. The bat seems content with its treatment and chitters its thanks playfully at the doe and her pet. Its wing is firmly in place so the bones have a chance to heal properly. Nightmare figures she'll keep the bat here until it regains its health and can fly again.
But just as she begins to wonder whether she should bring it back to the cave she found it from or find a new cave for it, she...
wakes up. Back in her bedding with her owlcat curled around her legs. The bat was nowhere to be found, and for a moment she wondered if she was simply so exhausted that she passed out. And that the bat had wandered away in the night. But she realized she wasn't in pain. She had none of the scrapes or cuts she suffered.
So it was only a dream? It certainly didn't feel like one at the time...
Nightmare noticed little songbirds singing nearby. Most critters kept their distance from her den. But the sound wasn't unpleasant, and exhaustedly she slumped back down and decided to sleep in.
