#stupid fae wemmbu... so pathetic...

[airysthinkingbox]

okay- so- wemmbu hadn't planned on tearing their wing on a branch while flying today! and it certainly wasn't in the plan for it to hurt like hell!

most faes- as people might expect- can heal themselves or even negate damage. thats stupid and basic magic that wemmbu would rather spend the time learning those to instead teaching themself attacking magic.

well... they suppose those spells aren't actually.. that stupid since they would need them in this exact scenario... wemmbu was typically a great flyer too! they just.. got a little distracted...

anyways- the excruciating, aching pain in their back. right.

luckily, its just a tear. they could just walk back to their hollow or maybe find a fellow fae out here as well or-

"hello-!? are you okay??"

oh, another fae! thats goo-

...

that wasn't fae language.

faes spoke to each other in their language.

that was english.

wemmbu immediately tried to sit up from their pathetic laying position. clearly, their spine didn't agree with that and they flopped back down with a sound that was not an equally pathetic whine.

the person- if wemmbu's vision served true, he was an enderian, or something from the end- crouched down next to them, hand hovering over their back. he was inspecting them- inspecting their wing.

it was weird to have their wings admired looked at so intimately closely. its something only faes that were, y'know, not strangers did.

he was droning on about something- wemmbu couldn't catch any of it, no matter how hard they'd tried. it was literally so, so sad that they couldn't even identify any words from their second-best language.

suddenly, the guy picked them up. carefully, by the way he picked wemmbu up like a fish. well, it was better than having their wings be any more crumpled..
