A Trip to the Ward [Thanatos/Tanatia]

It was the middle of the night and Thanatos was on his way back to the warehouse after finishing his job for the night. His form was slightly hunched over and both of his arms were wrapped around the front of him as he walked the narrow back streets of downtown, heading towards the warehouse of the Hench Tribe. Though to a passerby it might of looked like he was attempting to stay warm from the cool air of the night a closer inspection of the tom would reveal that he had a large, fairly deep gash across his chest. It wasn’t a life-threatening and it actually looked a lot worse than it really was. The injury had been received during his job, one that should have been simple yet he had managed to make enough of a mistake to get himself hurt like this. Thankfully Thanatos had a high threshold for pain so he had still managed to finish the job despite it.

As Thane ran a paw gently over the gash he thought back to the job he had just completed. It had seemed like a simple job. Go to the slums and retrieve an item that had been stolen by a stray from one of the higher ranking Hench cats. When Thane had managed to find the tom inside of his home, he was pleased to discover that the tom was passed out which would make his job that much easier. However, just as he snatched up the stolen item a younger tom had appeared from somewhere else inside of the home. In most cases if Thane had been found by someone he would have knocked them out then quickly left, but this time had been different. The young tom looked a lot like Thane’s brother, Valentin, and his moment of hesitation was all that was needed for the young tom to scream and awaken tom who had been passed out previously. After a brief scuffle between himself and the tom, in which Thane received his injury, Thane managed to subdue and knock out the tom. Once the tom was out Thanatos was quick to leave, only once looking back to see the young tom still standing there though he was now quiet from fear.

Shaking off the memory as he entered the warehouse, Thane stopped to glance around. He quickly found the tom that had ordered the job and returned the item to him. Once his job was complete he made his way towards the medical ward. Normally Thanatos would have just gone straight home and treated his wound there, but he was pretty sure he was out of medicine and he also didn’t want to worry his brother. Thane circled the inside of the warehouse a couple of times before he recalled the location of the ward. Stepping into the doorway he stopped when he didn’t immediately see anyone inside. He stood there awkwardly for a moment unsure of what to do before he settled on knocking a couple of times on the wall next to him. If anyone was here they would be sure to hear that. If no one was here at the moment he would have to find the necessary items elsewhere.
