"We have an hour. Wash up. We should clean him, too." She nodded to Alicanto, then sighed, letting her head sag. "Were you able to talk to him while I was gone? Has he woken up, or..?"

Alicanto could feel the throbbing in his head returning, his mind dragging at the noise around him half-consciously. He coughed silently, feeling the reminiscence of a bitter tang in his mouth and throat, partly sour, partly sweet, half dirt-tasting. His neck was stinging and he could feel heat pulsing through the feathers, making him uncomfortable. The longer he lay there, the more his mind pulled him toward reality, like an impatient dragonet. He shifted slightly with a small groan, feeling groggy and stiff.
"We have an hour. Wash up. We should clean him, too."
Alicanto could hear the voices more clearly now, and he kept still, listening, his mind registering the words slowly, but registering all the same.
"Were you able to talk to him while I was gone? Has he woken up, or..?"
I wonder who she's talking to, his mind drawled slowly, and he felt himself start to slide back toward sleep, forcing himself out of it a moment later.
He shifted again, stretching his legs out behind him, trying to work the stiff muscles. He flinched slightly at the movement, a pang shooting through the ribs on his side and his neck throbbing threateningly. He moved more slowly, shifting his head around in the direction of the noise and he forced his blurry eyes to open.

“Alright.” Ajax commented, getting up to walk to the river and get clean.
Right as Vel asked if Alicanto had done anything, Ali began to shift. Ajax’s eyes moved from the river to the Cloudwing. “He did not wake up earlier, but it looks like he is now.” He said, feeling slightly eager as Alicanto’s glossy eyes opened.

"Hey, pal." Vel whispered, moving to stand over the dragon. "You alive, man?"

Alicanto blinked fiercely, trying to clear his vision, the movement making his head pound more. He pressed his eyes shut again.
"No..." he groaned, shifting his aching wings. He opened his eyes to look up at the Rainwing again.

"You can see me, right? Hey, hep, you don't have to move." She unfurled a wing, brushing against Alicanto in a comforting manner. "You don't have to move. We're in the mountains. You're safe, you're safe." Vel moved her wing back with a stiff motion. "Need anything? You thirsty, bucko?"

(Thirsty is such a ridiculous sounding word, bro.)

Alicanto stiffened as Vel's wing brushed his feathers, his nerves pricking uncomfortably at the gentle touch. Why was the older dragon treating him so kindly? Now that he was starting to come to it more, he was remembering more and more clearly the tension and the bitterness from the Rainwing during the flight to the Den, and even afterwards during the incident on the highway. Why was she acting so... caring? And why was he even alive?
The countless possibilities firing in his brain made his head hurt more and he closed his eyes again, trying to focus on what Vel had asked.
"Maybe a little," he responded after a moment, still feeling a little awkward.

Ajax watched as Vel acted strangely kind to the CloudWing. He stomped into Alicanto’s view, wanting to see him from the front.
“Hey, Ali. Long time, no see.” He murmured with an expressionless face.

"Alright, I'll help you up." Vel muttered, still standing over the CloudWing. "The stream's about three feet to your left. Think you can make it?"

Alicanto stared at Ajax for a second.
"You're still here," he said slowly, having fully expected Ajax to have just left him and headed back to the Den. The Cloudwing forced himself out of his muddled thoughts, shifting his gaze back to Vel.
"Yeah, yeah, it's not that bad," he responded, already trying to arrange his talons beneath him. He gritted his teeth against the pain, silently cursing himself for looking so helpless and weak in front of these other dragons.
