*Dantin was currently in the sickbay. -This is what I get for wandering around the woods all on my lonesome...- He thought to himself. He had indeed been wandering the woods alone as he had done many a time before. This time, however, he had run into a band of vermin. Thankfully he had his sword but not anything else in the way of weapons. He had taken them all but hadn't gotten out of it unhurt. Far from it, actually, he had recieved a number of slashes and scratches including a rather long one straight across his chest. This proved to be the most painfull. He was currently laying in one of the beds in the sickbay, having to stay their for the night. It was actually getting closer to night now, late in the evening at least, and he was awake, couldn't go to sleep, bored out of his skull.*

Whenever one of Linx's mates got injured, be it a life-threatening battle wound or a cut on the paw from a cooking mishap, he was the first of the house's residents to actually pay a visit to the sickbay. He entered a bit late in the day, but that was, after all, when he'd found out that Dantin wasn't going to be there for dinner and why. Having finished his meal in haste and hurried over as soon as he could, he still couldn't help but feel late.
He pushed open the sickbay doors and promptly located his mate as quickly as he could, which involved asking around and brute-force searching to some degree. Dantin was in his own small compartment, which surprised him as the nature of the wound was apparently worse than he'd expected. "Dantin. Are you all right? Well, moot point. What happened to you?"

*Dantin tried to sit up when Linx appeared but failed at the attempt to do so and fell back wincing.* "Ran into a vermin band when I was... out wandering the woods like I usually do. Only had my sword... so no advanced weapons to help me out... I should be ok soon... just not now, obviously..." *His chest was hurting from the exertion of trying to sit up and was causing Dantin to breath a bit hard.*

"Hey, don't try to get up or anything, you're hurt..." Linx hurried over to Dantin's side and held him down gently with one paw, putting it on a presumably unhurt part of his mate's shoulder. "There's that vermin problem that we're not able to just eradicate, you know... You need to defend yourself better if you're gonna..." He let his paws fall to his side loosely and looked up at the ceiling. "Never thought I'd see the day. I sound like a mother here."

*Dantin laughed slightly but that hurt too, sadly enough.* "Nah, just a worried mate... which is what you are. With defending myself... well, all I have to say to that is that none of them fared so well." *Actually, all of them were currently dead. Thankfully, otherwise Dantin wouldn't have actually been sitting in that bed if he hadn't finished all of them off.*

"None ran away? Surprising. That's one of the big reasons we haven't killed the lot of them..." Getting down onto his knees to put himself at eye level with Dantin, Linx leaned forward and put his arms around the mouse, careful not to aggravate any of the wounds he'd heard so much about. "You know, I was gonna hug you when you got home but this'll have to do..."

*Dantin turned his head as much as he could and smiled at Linx.* "Well, I would return it if I could but... at the moment I can't. Sorry..." *He wasn't sure exactly why he was saying sorry. He probably was feeling a bit guilty for worrying his mate the way he did. He really should pay better care so he wouldn't do it again...*

"Well, I'd tell you that you didn't have to be sorry... But who else is gonna be? Those vermin are sorry already, I guess..." Linx smiled at Dantin and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. The injuries that his mate had would likely leave a number of scars, none of which were superficial, and it wasn't even necessary. That, though, was how things tended to happen badly; they didn't have to.

"Yeah, their definently sorry... but seriously, I'll be more carefull next time.." *He said in all honesty. He would definantly make sure of it. At the moment, Dantin would've returned the kiss as well that but was also physicly impossible for the moment. A fact which Dantin was sorry to know to be true.*

"So this is gonna be, like, a week before you're... Walking. That's just fantastic. When do you get out of here?" Linx wanted to know that even more than he wanted to know the extent of his mate's wounds. One of them directly impacted how much time they could spend together; the other simply impacted what they could do within that time and was, in his mind, far less important. "I can't wait to have you back."

*Dantin smiled at Linx's last sentence.* "All they said is that they'd release me in a few days after they were sure that none of the wounds were infected. After that I had to refrain from doing any strenuous activities for the next three or four days. So that puts me out of commission for about a week..." *That was the worst part... not getting to do anything at all for a full week.

"Well, that's just awful," Linx sighed in mock dejection. "I mean, now we're gonna have to be creative and find ways to do our stuff without having you move around too much! That's just... No, I'm not creative, my inventions were just chance, don't... Don't look at me..." He chuckled dryly while moving up to nuzzle up against his mate's neck with the tenderness of a beast who knew exactly how hard to push and was presented with a very soft-pushing situation. "I'm glad you're gonna be all right, Dantin."

*Dantin laughed slightly, causing a spike of pain to go across his chest again.* "Come on, you know it'll take more than a band of vermin to finish me off. Especially when I know that if I make it through, I've got something good to come home to..." *He said as he moved his head to make things a bit more comfortable. Despite how gentle Linx was being, he was pushing right up against one of his wounds and it didn't feel that great.*

"You're right, it could take... Two bands of vermin..." Linx pulled back from Dantin when realizing that he was agitating yet another wound. It looked like they'd gotten him all over his upper body, which, although regrettable, was something to be thankful of on some level. "You aren't actually that wounded from the waist down, are you? It looks like it's all upper body stuff."

"I've got a few slashes across my legs but other than that no. Nothing too serious, thankfully." *Dantin actually was kinda glad that most of them were on his uper body as well. He just didn't like to get hurt anywhere below the belt for reasons that are blatantly obvious in the household he lived in.*
