"Are you going to shoot this one?" asked Rikki half-confused the woman in the entrance of the cave. The one who had nocked an arrow on her bow and pointed it towards her. "Do it quickly then. She is not gonna last for much long either way with that wound of hers..."

The woman lowered her bow and came out into the light. A Bosmer... "Bloody hell", she murmured. "What could have happened to a Khajiit such as you out there?"

Rikki grunted. "Companions, bandits, the Dark Brotherhood, bolts from crossbows." She tried to adjust her sitting position, but collapsed backward again. "Stupid mentors", she added viciously.

"Sounds like a hard life", said the Bosmer woman sheathed her weapon before she sat down next to the Khajiit. "Are you in much pain?"

Rikki merely nodded. "Yes. Khajiit has lots of pain. If Bosmer has a knife, then do Rikki a favor and end her life, yes?"

The Bosmer snickered. "You are quite a charmer, aren't you. No, I won't take your life. That wound doesn't look all that bad in fact. I bet it hurts like hell, no questions asked, but that it would be beyond saving is just small girl's talk!"

"Perhaps Rikki is a small girl?"

"Yes, perhaps Rikki is", replied the Bosmer and searched through a backpack in the far end of the cave. "If you can hold your leg still I can fix it up, but don't expect a miracle. I only have enough herbs here to dampen the pain and stop the infection, not to heal the wound itself."

"Khajiit understands", mumbled Rikki as she dozed off.

The Bosmer shook the Khajiit. "Hoi! No sleeping now, you hear?! I don't want a comatose Khajiit in my cave! I had a half-drunk Orc with a hellish libido and some horrible snoring down here once, I don't need a kitten to look after as well."

But Rikki didn't respond, she was out for the day.

"Dammit!" growled the Bosmer and quickly adjusted the Khajiit's leg.

If there was anytime to fix the leg up without hearing complaints of pain from the patient, now was the time.
