What? No, you're keeping it. You're the one who found it.

[ u g h don't make him do this....... heine is just going to turn around and finish gutting the partridge, putting the organs to one side before he moves on with de-boning part of the bird so the kitten could eat it. it's still very little, so they might have to just cut it up into tiny pieces... ]

[horsepowered]

[Chiron sighs at them both, clearly unimpressed with the argument and prefering to just take the kitten in his own hands to give her a better inspection. A bath would help as well, but in truth, what she needs most of all is to be away from the trenches themselves.]

She's a shared responsibility. You will both keep her, or else there's little point in all of this effort.

[chariotry]

[ There Chiron goes again, sternly giving them directions like a father would.

But he's walking away, laughing a bit in the distance because he's leaving Heine to deal with the lecture. He's getting water, okay! And a bowl. ]

[whitehair]

[ ACHILLES, YOU GARBAGE. ]

Alright. Fine.

[horsepowered]

[Achilles is getting the look of disapproval in the meantime, but at least the responsibility aspect has been handled as best as they'll be able to. With that settled, Chiron gently gives the kitten a little pat on the top of her tiny head.]

Keep in mind that you'll have to find a way to look after her until we're returned to BASE as well. For that, you two need to figure it out. I can only check in on her every other day or so for progress.

[chariotry]

[ Achilles will come back eventually, carrying a canteen of water, a bowl, and a bucket with him.

Heine, did you leave a mess of blood and organs on the ground? ]

How's its eye? Is it missing? [ He hasn't bothered checking, himself. ] I checked for wounds earlier. There's dried blood on its fur, but that could be from fleas.

[whitehair]

[ he isn't that stupid....... it's a little messy, but it's still pretty neat considering he just butchered a bird outdoors with a slightly blunt knife. ]

I think it's missing. I looked before.

[horsepowered]

The eye is gone, unfortunately. [Chiron steps back, finally. His work here is more or less done, and it's on the other two to actually care for this small creature.]

I'd disinfect it if I could, but in this environment I don't imagine that it's possible. Keep an eye on it at any rate.

[whitehair]

[ achilles is probably busy preparing food for the kitten, leaving them alone for a little. heine hunches his shoulders slightly, looking down at the kitten who's probably still in Chiron's hands? ]

Is it going to live?

[ his voice is quiet. ]

[chariotry]

[ Yes, he's busy mincing the liver, heart, and some meat, mixing it all with water. ]

[horsepowered]

So long as you get food and water into her twice a day, I believe so.

[Chiron then holds the kitten back out to Heine. It's his and Achilles' cat now. He can't hold onto it any longer.]

She's in your hands now.

[whitehair]

[ ugh....... how is he gonna do that....... ]

..Thanks.

[horsepowered]

[Chiron simply nods.]

Good luck to you both.

[chariotry]

Leaving already, teacher? [ He's wiping his hands off on his pants, having finished prepared the kitten's meal. ]

Thanks for all your help. I'll drop by the tent later to see if you need any extra hands.

[horsepowered]

Mm. I should be fine. Until then--

[Horse out!]
