Cursedsong stared at Frostbite's pretty face a moment. She had said she was sorry, for getting him hurt. How in the world did she think it was her fault? He blinked, then smiled. And how were you to know I would get hurt? It was my fault for doing it and not inspecting the silly branch I went out on. He thought a moment. Now cheer up, Frosty. I'm all right. I'll be as good as new before long. He managed to sit, but his leg was bursting with pain, but his expression was all smiles.
Nighthawk suddenly found that they had a dilemma. How would they get Cursedsong back to camp and to her den? She took a deep breath and smiled. He would have to be carried. She pushed the poppy seeds toward Cursedsong. She watched as he ate them. Then she turned to Frostbite. You're going to have to help me carry him back to my den.
