"Wait, wait.." Jun whispered, gently caressing the enflamed shoulder. She frowned, reaching over to compare, running her talons down both Eclipse's wings.
"What." Kal asked bluntly, staring at Jun's concentrated eyes.
She shook her head.
"It's swollen." Tobias commented, and Jun looked up, hoping for guidance.
"Run your ha- talon down the humerus."
Jun obeyed.
Tobias nodded, "So, that should be running right into the glenohumeral joint, but you're right, it's swollen, so feel beneath it- the tendon?"
Jun followed his direction, apologizing when Eclipse flinched. "I feel it.. the tendon." Jun said hesitantly, then erased the worry from her voice, "I feel it."
"Good. Now feel it up the joint. If it's set right, the tendon'll be dead straight."
"Okay." Jun nodded. "I'm sorry, Eclipse, hold on." Pressing down on the swelling scales, Jun worked her way up the bone, running her talon up and down the taught tendon. She sighed in relief. "Get ice, Kal." Jun stepped away. "Good job, Eclipse."
