Mazamath had taken quite a scoring to his left hind leg, and it looked awful! And she knew it felt at least as bad as it looked, even if he insisted on being all stoic about it. Which left her to do all the fretting and fussing and crying, while the blue just calmly accepted it and followed the Healers' instructions without any protest whatsoever. He was an easy patient, at least, and there was little risk of him doing anything to reopen the wound or make it worse. He was perfectly content to lie in his wallow just so while a whole cadre of firelizards used him as a convenient perch on which to sun.
Adi was the only one with any concerns, worrying at him like this was the Worst Thing Ever and he might expire at any moment. Usually sociable and cheerful to the extreme, she'd done no skipping off to visit friends and didn't even want to leave him to go and eat. It had barely been a day, and Mazamath was beginning to lose patience with the whole affair, and patience was something he usually had in ready supply. Go eat, he griped at her. This doesn't merit anywhere near the amount of drama you're spending on it.
Annnd she just started crying again. Faranth. He sighed and whuffled at her reassuringly.
