“Hello, River.’’ Kay smiled dully and was promptly confused by his words. Early? What did that mean? Had Rose been here before? Meaning had something happened before? Then she was distracted by the comment about the bite. “You’ll be able to help her get healed, right?’’ Of course he could! Excuse Kay, River. She just wasn’t thinking right.
Kay hung back as River offered Rose his arm but followed them towards one of the beds. Quote:

"Didn't you miss my company?" she said with a smile. Not like she didn't see him outside of the Hospital Ward or anything, but she wanted to have some fun especially if it lightened the mood a little and make Kay feel better.
"Oh, yes. She does. Didn't do much damage to my foot beyond a bite, but I want to be safe because there is a chance of infection, right?" At least it seemed like a possibility to HER though she was definitely not a Healer. This was River's area of expertise. Rosalyn smiled at Kay. "I sure hope that she starts to like me more. Maybe when she isn't a baby anymore." Sometimes the little ones were like that but settled more when they were mature. At least that was her hope...
Taking River's arm, she made her way to the bed that she was being given. Surely this wouldn't take long and she knew that Kay was following right behind. River gave Kay an amused grin as he lead Rose towards an available bed and summoned a standard emergency kit nearby.
"I've seen worse injuries and wounds before, Kay. You can trust me on this one, besides, I wouldn't want to face the wrath of a certain colleague?" River continued, giving Rose a knowing look.
The Healer shook his head as he took off Rose's shoe and placed her injured foot on top of his right knee and started to clean her wound.
"I wouldn't say I missed your company if it meant you having an injury first. I do care about my colleagues and friends you see," he said tossing the gauze with a gentle antiseptic, and applied a damp cloth soaked in murtlap essence next.
"Given that the wound was fresh, there's a small chance of infection. Besides, I think the puppy's not a stray crup, yes?" he asked as he waited for the wound to heal and disappear.
