Ranuk was able to get up, but not without a bit of difficulty-- clearly he'd been battered and bruised from his travel, and the rocks and detritus fell from him in clouds.  Tamlin held back a dusty cough and took the terrified kitten in his arms, stroking gently down its back to help calm it while watching his fiance inspect himself for injury.<br/><br/>He seemed fine enough, like there was no permanent damage...  The prince couldn't be too surprised, not with the stories he'd heard of demon resilience, and Ranuk was certainly no weakling.  If Tam had been the one taking the brunt of the fall, he would have most definitely died, likely after hitting the first outcropping of stone.  He was very, very lucky to be in one piece, and the elf was more than a little thankful.  Ranuk could have tried to protect himself alone; Tamlin wouldn't have blamed him, in such a circumstance reflexes took over, but he was inwardly relieved that hadn't been the case.<br/><br/>Tails...  Ah.  A quick glance showed Tamlin the problem, where a couple of his betrothed's long, admittedly luxurious tails were limp, unmoving.  Broken, or at the very least fractured; they would need medical attention if they were to mend properly.  He nodded to show he understood, still a bit in shock, and tried to gather his thoughts.<br/><br/>"Yes, we... We'll need to splint them.  And we need to get out of here."  They needed to get back to the other kittens, they needed to get down the mountain...  Gods, this was a mess.  While Tamlin fretted, Ranuk began to move, shifting towards the bizarre tree in the middle of the secluded glade.  It unnerved Tam; he didn't know what to think of it, the strangeness of it all...  It wasn't like any tree he'd ever seen before.  Did it look like that because it had g et own in the cave?  Was there some other reason...?<br/><br/>He reluctantly followed after Ranuk, holding the kitten close to his chest and walking silently through the tall grass, the blades whispering gently as he strode through.  Ranuk seemed as confused as he, but Tamlin thought there was an unusual sensation in the air, a kind of tension he couldn't name.<br/><br/>"Do... Do you know of this..?"  He asked hesitantly, motioning at the tree and cautious gaze flicking between it and his fiance.
