As Kaii's body gradually went limp, Arthur began to relax the tension holding him to the cot. Barrett had already lost enough valuable time with this endeavor -- and resolved to not let go until he was positive the sedatives had taken effect. The moment gave him a little respite from the chaos...

Arthur leaned close to Piper, brows furrowed with grief. Though he kept racking his mind for something to do to heal her, nothing would come. Glancing up, the infirmary seemed to be spiraling away from him. Tultow was now asking for help, and Kaii was fighting against it. At the very least, the...

Having finished his admonition to Silvertongue, Barrett returned to the infirmary. Tultow would be his number one concern -- and he would likely be the first to receive the Corda Aurea. But there were a few minutes to take care of some ancillary infirmary tasks. Barrett cracked the stove open...

¹ Barrett was reliably informed by Finnian that Vulpuz had a saggy left ear. While Barrett had no idea where the kit got such a ridiculous notion, it was now canon. Vulpuz had a saggy left ear.

As Vilde and Finnian came into the tent with a critically wounded Tultow, the final thread holding Barrett's sanity together snapped with an almost audible twang. Vulpuz's saggy left ear¹, now there's a battlecat in the infirmary. Barrett beat a path over to Darragh, who was floundering with...

A roaring fire blazed inside a stove in the infirmary -- and though wellbeasts would find the temperature unpleasantly warm, it took the edge off Urk's chill for those suffering from blood loss. The tidy order normally present in Barrett's infirmary had devolved into chaos. A wailing shrewbabe...

This was Barrett's infirmary. Nothing slipped past his notice. Somehow, he had kept an eye -- not only on his patient -- but on all the proceedings. The rat at the end of the infirmary didn't have much longer to live. The one next to him would need stitches soon. And the two foxes were just...

Barrett, in the mean time, had already started to receive the wounded. Those carrying their shipmates into the infirmary were pressed into service bandaging the wounded. Lacerations and arrow wounds were plenty -- and the dead were already starting to pile up in one corner of the tent. As...

Arthur could hear the sounds of warfare outside the tent. While the pine marten was familiar with the sounds of conflict, he wasn't used to hearing them this close. Even during the Winter War, Barrett hadn't been this close to the front lines. Peeking outside the tent, his heart sunk as he saw a...

Barrett appeared to be unmoved by what Piper said -- though after a moment, he reached into his breast pocket to retrieve a hankerchief for her. The pine marten found a cot for himself and sat down on it, and rubbed his face in his paws. Weariness was catching up to him as well. Though Barrett...

As Piper instructed Finnian on all things dibbun related, Barrett took his leave to arrange the infirmary. There were still cots to setup, lanterns to trim, and even a little fire to stoke just outside the tent. It would be absolutely bitter cold tonight, and Arthur had already dealt with enough...

Barrett was indeed flustered as Kaii showed up right behind him. The pine marten leered over his shoulder at the marble fox -- couldn't be see they were having a private conversation? How was this kit always showing up everywhere? Maybe Barrett hadn't threatened him enough... In any case, the...

Barrett took a deep breath and let it out slowly. The resentment felt towards Kaii was fading, but it would take a while longer to finish settling his nerves. Finn had already picked up on the pine marten's mood, and was skittishly giving him a wide berth. Kaii's request to provide instruction...

As all beasts that work in infirmaries knew, there were two types of chaos: circumstantial chaos, and manufactured chaos. The first could be managed, but the second rubbed Barrett's fur the wrong way. The dibbun was far more the latter. Of note, Tultow technically outranked him. While Arthur...

Barrett, left to his own devices in the infirmary, had returned to organizing and staging his equipment. The pine marten was inventorying his medicines again, making sure nothing was upset or broken during the voyage over... Though it must be said, tents aren't known for their sound proofing...
