Vid bashed his shoulder into the tree, the bark creaking and groaning against the large soquili's strength, but even as it protested the mutant-cerynei kept going, blood beginning to mat on his shoulder, evidence of exactly how long he had been smashing into the tree, venting his frustration, his pain, his fear. Not a sound escaped the stallion's lips, but the tree was making enough noise for the three of them as the first splintering crack echoed through the forest, making the third member flinch. His eyes were open, pinprick white pupils staring at the tree, but they were unfocused all the same.
Chain didn't like Vid doing this. But what could she do? Better he vent it on a tree, like this, than another soquili, or doing something worse to himself again. (stitches blood a sharp twig and you'll never hear his voice again) The bear shook her head to rid herself of the thoughts, concentrating on seperating the sticky sap from the buds of the tree and applying it to the square of cloth she had found. (stolen, you stole it but you dont care anymore) No. No she didn't. The two-legs had plenty of cloth, and Vid only had one shoulder. Chain turned her glowing orbs, the colour of beaten copper to her soquili partner, now breathing heavily, shoulder bleeding freely. She approached him making low noises of comfort in her throat, and he staggered towards her, collapsing on his too long-limbs. The bear nuzzled his larger head, and got ready to apply the cloth, claws unsheathed so she wouldn't get it stuck to her fur and tug Vid's wound.
If you'd suddenly arrived it almost looked like she was attacking him.

 Aella was taking a long walk in the woods. Well, really it was more like running from her last "home". Things never lasted for her. Why had she thought this would be any different really? Why had she ever thought that days of roses and sugar would last? Everything was meant to wilt...to fade.... Her head snapped up, as she heard a low sound. Creeping forward she saw an injured stallion laying there with a bear mauling on his back. Quickly, picking up a limb in her mouth she ran at the bear shouting as best she could. "ET WAY ROM 'IM!" Which was supposed to be "get away from him", but came out much less threatening. Though the limb she was waving had to be frightening, or at least she hoped so.

Chain jumped with a squeak and almost (but not quite) dropping the sap-covered fabric, which would have been disastrous. (That stuff was like....hm. Well, there wasn't really much else that was THAT sticky, but just pick something really sticky and imagine it here, okay?) Vid snapped his head up, struggling to focus his sight on the new arrival, but he started to tuck his legs up and try to stand. Chain growled at him lowly, and not-so-carefully stuck the makeshift injury pad over his wound, causing him to make a low moaning groan and sink back down to the ground, eyelids fluttering.
Chain swung round to the other horse, and spoke, hackles raised in a distinctly itimidating pose. As a familiar, her grasp of the soquili language was limited, but it was nevertheless infinitely better than Vid's mumbled noises through his stitches.
"What-you-want?"

Aella dropped the branch, looking from the padding on the stallion to the bear. The stallion didn't seem to want to escape, and the bear looked...protective? That was...incredibly odd. But really who was she to judge?
"I'm sorry," she murmerred lightly. "I thought you were attacking him." The light breeze blows her hair around her face as she tries to drink him in. "What's the matter?" It was then that she saw his mouth, sewn shut. She felt the burn of tears in her eyes, poor soul. What suffering had he known?
She approached lightly, "Here. Let me help with the bandage?" She asked. She wanted to help him, to stop the blood that was already looking as though it was seeping through. What had happened? This stallion, he knew pain.

Chain had dropped the aggression almost immediately - the mare wasn't much of a threat anyway. Regular size. No features that could damage other than the obvious teeth and hooves. When she had approached to help, Chain warned her off with a growl - but it was half-hearted, and she nipped Vid on the flank when he struggled.
"Press with snout." She waved her toward the existing pad, shambling in her bear-like gait to fetch the second she had prepared. Bleeding through was not an uncommon experience.
"Stop blood. I get new."
Vid flickered his black eyeballs, trying to focus his white pinpricks upon the mare. Why did Chain let her close? She must be good. Chain only liked good. Yes. She stayed with him...because he could be good. And she would protect him from bad, even if was himself.
Wonkily, he smiled. The action caused him pain, the tight stitches pulling on his mouth - but he still did it.

Aella pressed the pad tight against his flesh, the blood staining through to her muzzle. She tilted her head slightly to the bear, "Moss. It helps it to soak up the blood." She let her voice fall back silent as she took to caring for the wounds She hummed lightly up against his skin as she kept applying pressure.
"What happened?" Her voice is soft, and her eyes full. "I'm Aella," she can feel herself blushing. How was he supposed to answer her? "I'm sorry," she said gently.

Chain grunted when the mare - now identified as Aella, spoke. She didn't trust green things. Nasty rotting wet things. She picked up another tacky pad of fabric and brought it over, toddling on her back legs in a way that should have looked ridiculous and childlike only it emphasized actually how big she was compared to the normal pygmy-like bears that followed soquili about.
Vid murmured an answer anyway, indecipharble sounds that nonetheless got the meaning (I was stupid) across, even if they didn't get the exact happenstance. He was coming down now, white expanding to circles instead of pinpricks, fidgeting calming. Chain not-so-gently pushed Aella aside and stuck the pad down.
"Stupid horse." She said to Vid, and bit him. He kicked her. Both of these actions were done gently.
"Clever horse, give face." Chain brought up a pawful of wet moss to scrub Vid's (toodark) blood off Aella.

Aella was pushed away back Chain. She couldn't help but think of what an odd pair they were. She'd seen stranger...but, still it was interesting. "Does this happen often?" She asked as she used the moss to scrub off the blood.
She could see the stallion calming, and she felt pain for him. He was unable to communicate with most others except in some ways this bear. What a lonely and desolate life...No wonder things like this happened.
She brushed back her hair again, looking into his eyes clearly. "I don't mind helping," She paused delicately, trying to listen for what sounds he might make or whatever the bear would answer. "What would you like me to call you?"

Chain wiped roughly at the blood, allowing Aella to finish up herself, then getting to the task of bullying Vid to his feet. But whilst she covered it in rough words internally, the actions themselves were terrifyingly gentle. The stallion was incredibly tall - but not bulky. Thin like stretched taffy and looking at the moment to have all the delicacy of it. He shook himself, dampness from the ground shaking off his mane in a misty spray.
"Vidorun. Chain."
Despite his earlier mumbling these were clearly audible - most likely from practice as his lips barely moved. They weren't like a spoken voice; still muffled and muted, but understandable non-the-less. The stallion dipped his head curiously, armor clinking slightly against his singular horn.
"oo?"

Aella watched how gentle the bear was--Chain. Chain had evidently been with Vidorun for a long time. Their bond bespoke a deep friendship, and companionship. What in their past had bonded them so?
"Vidorun," she spoke the name softly as he went to stand up. He was long and lean, slightly unkeept. He probably figured no one cared but Chain. "Do you need...food or drink?" How did he even eat?
"I'm Aella," she spoke softly as the wind blew the sweat damped waves off her back. She nosed him gently, she wasn't sure what inspired her to do it except that needed someone to show him kindness and compassion.

Vid flinched when Aella put her head close to him, but when she nuzzled the tension drew out of his limbs and he made a curious noise. A noise a foal might make, almost - something curious, a noise of 'I don't understand.' It wasn't that Anchor hadn't been a good father - he had. But as an ex-warhorse he'd been frightened of physical contact, and had never been the most touchy-feely with his son. Care was distributed in words and gifts of apples or showing the sweetest springs, not nuzzles. Carefully, hesitantly, Vid repeated the action clumsily.
Chain resisted making an 'aww' noise, but it had been a close call. She made a chuffing noise of approval though when the question was asked. Vid answered by making a complicated series of movements with his ears and head and front hoof. Chain translated.
"He says thankyou for asking, which is good because his manners need work, and that he ate already by mushing up some apples. He says he has some whole still if you want some though."
The bear eyed the horses specutatively.
"I can teach you how he talks, if you like."

He clumsily nuzzled her back, but it was sweet. Her hair caught on him and she shook it loose gently, listening as Chain interpreted. She nodded her head and looked into Vidorun's eyes, "I'd like an apple."
Turning back to Chain, she spoke softly. "I would love to learn, I'm sure that both of us can use the company." She found something oddly compelling her to stick around and learn about him. He was interesting and kind. He was flawed but not broken, just like her.
"I'd like to know more about you, if you'll let me."
