Spirit was not the best with broken bones, so watched carefully as Lusina bound the bird's wing. The Charoda brought up something about coral, which sounded quite strange. From what she knew about the ocean stuff... it grew really slowly. Why would the way it grew matter? Even bones grew faster than coral. And usually bodies liked to re-grow in the way they were supposed to... right? That made the most sense, at least. She frowned to herself, still trying to work that out. Lusina came up with a logical explanation, however, and the other woman seemed to understand.
The older Frostfawn finally gave her an instruction and she nodded, slipping from her place to loot the bottle and extra cloth from all the other supplies her boss had brought. She doused the cloth in what seemed like enough and gingerly held it over the bird's beak... was that how you did it with birds? Their nostrils were near it anyways, weren't they? Still, it seemed to work, as the Frosthawk slowly grew limp. She returned the two items to their places and came back just in time to listen carefully to another of Lusina's explanations and demonstrations.
The whole concept of keeping fluids in the bird was strange, but smart... she'd never considered it before. It was an ingenious way to keep things working. However, now it was time to pick up the hawk, and she grabbed her spot firmly in both hands, marveling at the creature's size. It took all three of them to heave it up easily - how had the Charoda managed? - but it wasn't as heavy as it first looked... but the bird was still big. They slowly edged the Frosthawk through passages and into one of the attached workrooms... the purpose of this one was as an infirmary. They lifted the hawk into a large cage and moved back, where Lusina gave more instructions then left.
Spirit stared at the bird blankly for several moments, until the Charoda woke her up. "Hm? Oh, thanks... no problem. I guess it's kinda my job to help animals and Lusina..." She shrugged, eyeing the odd woman again, still amazed at her appearance. "I have no idea what will happen... I just learned more in those few chimes about birds than I ever knew... other than basic anatomy, of course. And that's just 'it's a wing' and so forth."
