“Whumpee!” Caretaker screamed as they could only watch in horror as their friend crashed to the ground. Their feet came unstuck a moment too late to catch them entirely, but they at least saved Whumpee from a concussion.
“C-Caretaker...” Whumpee whined, their eyes filling up with tears.
Caretaker cradled Whumpee close to their chest “Shh shh, it’s ok Whumpee. I’m here, I’m right here with you.”
“H-hurt. Hurts. It hurts.”
“I know, I know,” Caretaker frantically looked around for help they already knew wasn’t there. Their heart leapt into their throat when they caught sight of the dark stain growing under Whumpee’s body. “Oh no,” They breathed out before they could catch themself.
Whumpee started to shake and their eyes grew wide as they looked up at Caretaker pleadingly “Wha? Care’aker, I’m scared...”
Caretaker shook their head and stroked Whumpee’s hair “Everything’s fine, Whumpee. Walk it off, right?” Their joke fell flat with the crack in their voice.
Despite that, Whumpee still tried to smile, but it looked more like a grimace when the pain continued to assault them “I...I don’t know if I can walk.” They replied
“Then I’ll just have to carry you.”
“No...no Caretaker, I’m...I can’t feel my legs.”
