The kitten's shrieking tapered off shortly, apparently falling into shock which made it's body stiff and unresponsive. Thankfully that made it easy for Ranuk to take hold of its little paws and carefully unhook the sharp claws from his skin. He breathed out in relief when it was done even as rivulets of blood began to pool along his stomach. No matter, the wounds were superficial and shallow, they would heal easily. He was more concerned for Tamlin.<br/><br/>Ranuk's head was as sturdy as a goat's and was meant to be rammed against hard objects. Elf skulls were far more delicate in comparison, they tended to crack like eggs but it seemed Tamlin's was intact if he was still able to speak and fret.<br/><br/>The demon sat up gingerly, his massive hand cradling Tamlin's back protectively.<br/><br/>"Okay?" he asked his betrothed with a wheezy voice, checking over the elf with both eyes and nose, sniffing for any blood that was not his own.<br/><br/>Despite the hard tumble, the only sign of dishevelment the demon could see was the dust on Tamlin's clothes and his hair fallen loose from its braid. He might not have even bruised from the fall as Ranuk's many tails served as an impressive shield. The demon on the other hand did not come out so unscathed.<br/><br/>Ranuk could already feel the deep throbbing of his body, pain radiating all along his back and sides and rear, and two of his tails had snapped in the fall. He could feel the sickening limpness of the ends no longer supported by the bone, but thankfully they've been broken so often in his long life that he hardly registered it, the nerve endings long since deadened by repeated injury. Other places hurt far worse.<br/><br/>He had been hit hard on his left shoulder and back leg and he knew his flesh would be purple underneath his snowy pelt. Some of the fur had been scraped clean off from parts of arms and the bend of his leg, revealing patches of abraded pink skin and nasty gashes, oozing more blood on his snow white frame.<br/><br/>Ranuk paid them little mind as he checked over Tamlin and the kitten first, the latter of which seemed perfectly fine if still frozen in panic.
