Raiding the Healers Den

Carbucketty walked into the healers den, barely looked around to consider if there were any other patients or if the healers were in there. He didn't care if they gave him shit for barging into the den and stealing any of their supplies. But his quick look upon entering and his other senses had told him that the den was empty of all bodies. Slipping into the backroom, he grabbed some ointment, gauze and pain-killers. Carbucketty admitted to himself that it was easier with no one around to lecture him about stealing, not that it mattered either
way.

The white, black, and brown tom walked off with the supplies. He walked away with a clear conscience. They weren't going to be sold for drugs on the street. And had someone been in the den, they would have used those supplies on him anyway. So it was a win-win. Running into one of his old gang-members that nearly beat him to death years before, was not a plus. He briefly debated telling Munkustrap about the encounter. His old gang knew he was still alive.

However, he didn't think they'd care enough about his sexual habits to terrorize him and the other jellicles. They had other things they dealt with then declaring war on another tribe. A bigger tribe. He wasn't important enough for that. He knew he'd have to watch himself when he left the yard though. He knew they didn't like leaving things unfinished. So Buck knew he'd be in for some trouble with them when he was alone. Content with knowing it was his problem alone, he made the decision to keep quiet about his encounter.

Carbucketty had never told anyone that he was part of a gang, or the events leading up to him being found practically dead. And telling Munkustrap or any of the other protectors meant revealing his past and what he went through. Oh yeah, he definitely wasn't going to be telling anybody. He sat down a few meters away from the healers den, and popped the pain-killers first. It was an herbal concoction that was suppose to manage pain. He heard a sound to his left and he cocked his head to the side.

They hadn't announced themselves. And while he didn't think any of the jellicles were rude enough to spy, he knew he wasn't well liked either. So he cleared his throat, his eyes not bothering to look up from the task at hand. "Go gawk at someone else."

.CORICOPAT.

It was extremely rare that Cori got into a skirmish – even more rare that he be the one to actually start it. He wasn’t the fighting type, nor was he the type to start unnecessary drama; however, he also wasn’t the type to take kindly to any sort of insult, especially if it involved his sisters.

Thankfully, he landed far more blows on the hench than said hench landed on him. Cori might have not been a fighter, but he was tactical. Besides, although he’d never admit to it, he did cheat a little. No one needed to know that he clouded the hench’s mind to get the upper hand – in fact, no one needed to know he had fought a hench.

Walking towards the healer’s den, the tall mystic carried a few scratches across his chest, a cut on his cheek and a bloodied lip. It was nothing serious, and probably looked far worse than it actually was, but Cori figured he’d get a few ointments and bandages just to make sure he healed up without any lasting scars. He couldn’t “rock” scars like some.

With a blink, Cori’s golden eyes focused on Buck who sat close to the healer’s den, and he tilted his head at the younger tom.

”I wasn’t aware that I was gawking,” Cori said plainly, one thin eyebrow raising. ” It isn’t toms that I particularly enjoy gawking at, if you care to know the truth.” He knew he probably sounded like a smart ass, but it wasn’t as if Carbucketty had been very pleasant in his greeting either.

Raiding the Healers Den

If you care to know the truth.

He scoffed silently at that. "No, I don't care to know." His voice was crisp, short and to the point. Like usual. He was about to inform the tom that he didn't care to gawk at toms either, but stopped himself. It was a fact about him that he wasn't going divulge. Who the hell was he to know anything about him or his business anyway. Buck wasn't even sure he knew the tom's name.

Though he was vaguely sure it started with a C...or maybe a K. He used his teeth to hold one end of the gauze and his good paw held the other end. He began wrapping it around his bloodied arm, having already placed some herbal leaves on his wound to help stop the bleed. Least he hoped they were the right leaves.

He finally gazed up at Coricopat, through a wince as he tightened the makeshift wrap around his arm. Carbucketty wasn't akin to asking for help, the gang he had been in had all but beaten him into believing it was a weakness. It was then though that he took in the scratches, cuts, and bloodied lip on Coricopat. Once he tied off the ends, he gave the tall skinny tom a hard look.

"They're out of the supplies for cuts." Assuming he had gotten the right leaves, then he had the last batch of cream-for soothing pain, herbal leaves-for stopping the bleeding, and the last of the guaze. He wasn't the best healer, but fending for himself for so long in the gang before becoming one of them, long before he screwed it all up...he had to learn to take care of himself and that included treating his own wounds.

He picked them up and offered them to Coricopat. "You need these more then I do." And he had treated his worst cut already. There wasn't much he could do for a black, puffy eye; or the bruising on his chest-but thankfully that wasn't an injury that others could see. The only other injury he had was on his back, but he couldn't reach it, so he was all set.

.CORICOPAT.

The mystic eyed Buck skeptically, though reached out and grabbed the items with a sharp nod. Cori sat down next to Buck and crunched up a few of the herbal leaves, placing them across his chest and cheek with the help of the sticky foundation of the cream. He winced slightly as his prodded at his wounds, though he made no sound of discomfort. He hesitated on using the gauze. Gauze made injuries seem far worse than they were, and he didn’t want to worry his sisters. Nevertheless, Cori didn’t want scars either, and with a huff, began to unroll the gauze.

”You mind looping this behind my back and tying it off?” He asked, placing a band of the gauze across his shoulder and under his arm. ”I can’t quite reach.” Coricopat winced again when his elbow brushed against as particular sore spot.

”So, what happened to you? Carbucketty, right?” Cori wasn’t one for small talk, but since the other tom was practically helping him dress his wounds, he figured he’d make conversation. Besides, there was no hurt in getting to know the younger tom. He must be pretty decent if he was Munku’s friend.

while passing by Cassandra noticed some blood near the side of the entrance to the Healer's den. she stopped and inspected it.
upon finding it fresh the svelte brown queen called out "hello? please I just want to help."
she paused at the corner, taking in the two toms before her.
"hello Coricopat, may I assist?"

Raiding the Healers Den

Carbucketty was done with his own wounds, for the most part, his eyes lidded and heavy. He'd never admit that the fight had taken a lot out of him. Both physically and emotionally. He had been so careful over the years to keep his survival secret from those that had tried to kill him. He had every intention of leaving Coricopat to his own vices. However, Buck found himself starting to close his eyes and drift off. He had to figure out a way to take care of the problem himself. He couldn't let them cause trouble for the jellicles.

However, he also wasn't sure of a way to fix the problem without revealing his past. The weight of it, was almost too much for Buck. The voice of Coricopat drifted into his mind and his eyelids fluttered open. His softer appearance was soon replaced by narrowed hostile eyes, once Carbucketty remembered where he was. He didn't speak, and after a moment didn't have to blow Coricopat off, or go against his nature and help the tom.

"Mmm." Carbucketty spoke it loudly enough. "Coricopat needs help there. He looks ridiculous trying to tie the bandage behind his back." Buck made no move to help. With the sleek queen Cassandra now there, he knew she'd help. And probably have a better bedside manner then he ever would. The arrival of Cassandra also gave Carbucketty the opportunity to keep quiet about how he had gotten injured. And hoped that her appearance would cause Coricopat to forget he had even asked.

.CORICOPAT.

The mystic figured Buck wasn’t all that eager to help. He seems like that type that did his job, and went on about his business. It wasn’t your typical protector - they were usually jumping at their guns to be of assistance, but Cori would keep his assumptions to himself.

Turning his head, his golden eyes fell upon Cassandra, and he nodded pleasantly towards the queen. ”Why thank you Cassie, I do appreciate it.” He raised one arm for her, allowing her full access to the cuts on his chest. ”Don’t bother with the scrape on my face, I’ve already taken care of it.” While Cori hadn’t had much interaction with the pretty abyssinian queen, she seemed to be a very well-off lady, much like Bustopher and his nephew and niece. The upper-class seemed to have an air about them that allowed them to stand out amongst the common felines that made up the junkyard, and while he took notice of it, Coricopat was in no way intimidated.

Coricopat found himself looking back at Carbucketty, once more analyzing the young tom with a curious stare.

”You failed to answer me,” he stated bluntly, his voice monotoned and one eyebrow cocked. ”What happened to you? Also…why did you take most, if not all of the healers’s stock?” Cori wasn’t going to scold Buck for stealing - he obviously needed the bandages and cream too, but why so much of it?

the sleek brown queen carefully examined the cuts that Coricopat showed her, "well I am not a healer but I will do my best, I believe that Jennyanydots is still with her human. yes these do need to be cleaned," she said then she glanced at Carbucketty her lovely face as serene and unexpressive as a porcelain mask and gestured toward the items that he held.
"thank you for being so thoughtful as to bring these out Carbucketty, may I?"

Raiding the Healers Den

The White, Brown and Black tom looked away from the pair. He still found the idea of the jellicles helping each other gag inducing. It was a concept that he had never been raised with; and he couldn't begin to fathom why anyone would want to go out of their way to help someone else. He still didn't rightly no why they bothered to help him, it wasn't something he asked for or asked them to do. And he knew damn well he didn't owe them a bloody thing. He would not feel obligated, just because they helped him years ago.

He worked, earned his right to be part of the tribe. Unless his position had been given to him out of charity. However, he trusted Munk enough to believe Munkustrap wouldn't do that to him. He shrugged his shoulders at Coricopat, wincing slightly at the movement. Buck was miffed that the arrival of Cassandra hadn't forced Coricopat's nose to butt out. But it didn't matter. "Doesn't matter, because it isn't any of your business." He looked around at the supplies he had taken from the infirmary. "You call this a lot? S'all that was left."

At Cassandra's remark about Jennyanydots, he lifted his paw and gestured to the Abyssinian. "Explains why the infirmary hasn't been stocked in a while." He did scowl slightly at Cassandra. She...was thanking him? He gazed at her with round eyes. He steals some extra supplies for himself, and gets thanked for it. Oh yeah, the jellicles were definitely foreign to him, even after all the years he's lived with them. He opened his arms about, indicating the whole of the supplies around his feet. "Help yourself." His tone wasn't gracious, but it wasn't exactly hostile anymore either. Perhaps, resigned.

.CORICOPAT.

”True,” Cori murmured in response to Buck, seemingly disinterested. ”It isn’t my business. I’m just trying to be pleasant.” Truthfully, the mystic wanted to say something on the lines of he could make it his business if he wanted, but honestly, he wasn’t in the mood to start trouble. Besides, technically, if Cori followed his own rules, he wasn’t “allowed” to pry into Buck’s mind without the other tom’s permission. Sometimes Cori thought it a pity that he had a conscious, otherwise he’d have no reserves when it came to the business of others.

”I’m not wounded enough to know if this is a lot of supplies or not, but it does seem an awful lot for one person’s use.” The mystic smirked, drawing a hand up to prod at the bandages already adorning his chest. ”I was raised to not take what I didn’t need, which makes me think you were under the impression that you would need them…at some point or another.” He shrugged one shoulder, making a “whatever” motion with his hands before settling back to let Cassandra work. ”Just an observation.”

Carbucketty was rather defensive, which gave Coricopat the impression that he was hiding something. Whatever. Everyone was technically hiding something, but Cori preferred not to be a prick about it.

”You are doing just fine Cassandra, thank you,” he said to the queen, grateful for her assistance. While flexible, Cori couldn’t reach behind his back, nor was he familiar with bandaging wounds.

gently with nimble paws the lovely brown Abyssinian mix cleaned cuts and then wrapped the bandages around and
Cassandra looked as serene as she might if she were simply grooming a bit of dirt from Coricopats fur.
she was not surprised that the multi colored tom had not taken the polite opening that she had provided though she was unsure as to why the toms were acting the way they were to one another, so she tred softly.
"there that is much better, now are you sure about your face? your muzzle is still bleeding a bit."
she said in a soft cultured tone.

Raiding the Healers Den

Carbucketty let Coricopat ramble off his idea's and theories. And unless he was planning on breaking that oath of 'never reading without permission' farce; then that's all they'd ever be. "Am I really the first tom to skim a little off the top for his own benefit? Why I believe my heart is all a flutter." His voice was sarcastic, but his mood quickly changed as quickly as a shrug of his shoulders. "Or maybe I have a friend in the city who needs these. Maybe...I'm just a bad boy." He smirked, though there was no happiness to his smirk.

He shrugged again, his mood returning to indifference as he added on. "The possibilities are quite a few, aren't they?" It wasn't the first time he had grabbed what he needed and hoarded some extra supplies for himself, and it wouldn't be the last time. He could find someone on the streets to deal with, in order to get the extra supplies he liked to keep on hand. But medicinal dealers tended to double as drug dealers. Which meant gangs. And it wasn't something he wanted to get back into.

Then again, with his survival now known, he no longer needed to keep a low profile. The damage was already done. He could see Cassandra finishing up in his peripheral vision. Oddly grateful that she wasn't offering to take care of the cuts on his own back. He had dabbed the blood off that he could reach. Still with his back to them, his wounds there were sufficiently hidden.

Carbucketty didn't make a reference to his own self, but still felt the need to point it out to Coricopat. "Not everyone is raised the same way." He let his head rest back against the den's wall, his eyes squinting up at the sky. They began to close in his exhaustion again. "On that note, I don't see you in a rush to tell me how you got your own injuries."

.CORICOPAT.

The mystic shook his head, eyes closing briefly as the bandages tightened around him. ”No Cassandra, but thank you. I just dabbed some cream on them, so they should stop bleeding soon.” Cori smiled briefly at her, and his chest bounced in a short chuckle. ”Besides, I’d hate to look like a mummy. I don’t think my sisters would know what to do with me then.” While Tantomile would probably look at him with a glare of curiosity and suspicion, Jemima would no doubt smother him with worry. It would happen anyway, most likely. There was no hiding the bandages or the cuts on his face, but the fewer the bandages, the better.

Cori licked his lips, tasting a tinge of blood on his tongue. He smirked again, though this time, a small glint of white peaked out from behind his bruised and cut lip.

”Oh, I doubt you’re a bad boy, Buck. Maybe in your past, but Munku isn’t the type to make a habit of befriending ruffians. You look to be quite buddy-buddy with our little boy scout.” Munkustrap was hardly little, but matching Buck’s sarcasm with his own seemed to bring Cori a twinge of joy.

”Besides, I noticed how you jumped to aid our white beauty at the ball. No, you’re not bad. Maybe an ass, but not bad.” Cori had seen bad. Hell, he saw it a couple times a week. Granted, those bad cats left him alone (save for todays little scuffle), but he saw what they did on a regular basis. He didn’t think Buck was interested in that lifestyle anymore - not from what he heard.

Blinking, Cori shrugged and poked at the bandages again. ” Just got in mixed up in a argument on the streets. Should’a kept my mouth shut, I suppose.”
