The Farm and Fishery

*returns and looks behind him to paint*

< hey could you grab that basket and some towels and quilts from the corner there? 3<

*Ms. Paint hurries over and grabs the basket*

c[ Okay, what do I do with them? ]

< put the towels into the basket to make a sort of nest 3<

c[ Do you think he will be alright? ]

((Don't ask me why I thought of this, but if Slick is Karkat's stabdad, would that make Ms. Paint his stabmom?))

(( I saw a comic about that. ))

((Really? Where?))

(( No clue. Just saw it. It was about Karkat meeting Ms. Paint for the first time. She made him cookies. ))

((I just looked that up. It was adorable. Ms. Paint = Karkat's stabmom MUST happen.))

((Well, since he's more likely to stay with Slick A, it probably will.))

((And did you see the comic or the VIDEO?))

((BOTH))

((Ah, alright then))

*Ms. Paint starts to make a small nest with the towels*

< yeah hopefully, i have some experience setting bones from the war, if we find some splints light enough we should be able to set its wings right 3<

*puts the raven down and heads out towards the allotments with a trowel and plastic b****t*

< i am going to go out to find some worms, in the mean time try to feed him some bread and scraps of meat from the left overs, poor bugger must be starving, i will also fill up a bowl with some water from the oasis so he can have a drink 3<

((Ooh, Slick said a naughty word, slick how COULD you))

((I swear to all that is classy I did not just edit that btw))

*Paint kneels down by the raven*

c[ Aww. Don't worry little guy. We'll take good care of you. ]

*Paint reaches out to touch the raven, but he bites her hand. hard.*

c[ Ah! ]

*Ms. Paint looks at her hand and sees that it is seriously bleeding.*

*comes back from getting water and some worms*

*sees paint*

< SHIT! 3<

< are you ok? what happened? 3<

c[ Um, I think so. ]

c[ I think I upset him. ]

*She nods towards the raven*

< ok we can bandage this up now then i can try to set this poor birds wings 3<

*he goes to get the bandages, leaving the bowl of water nearby the raven for it to drink*

*Paint absentmindedly flexes the fingers on her injured hand and turns back to the bird*

c[ I shouldn't have done that, huh? ]

c[ Poor thing. You've probably been traumatized after what that pig tried to do to you. ]

(( I think you forget that the pig didn't do anything but get eaten. ))

*comes back and begins to bind paint's hand*

< yeah the poor thing must be terrified 3<

*finishes binding and plants a kiss on her hand with a smile*

< there better? 3<

*She smiles back*

c[ Much better. ]

< good 3<

*gazes at paint for a bit before the raven squawks as it tries to move*

< oh of course sorry 3<

*he says to the bird as he reaches down and picks it up gently and slowly*

*the raven nips at his hand a bit but slick quickly puts him down on the table*

< paint i am going to need you to gently hold its beak shut and its head still, i do not want it to hurt itself or me when i set the wings 3<

c[ Um, okay. ]

*She Quickly but gently holds his head with her uninjured hand*

*begins binding the wings to splints*

*the raven moves around a lot and it is difficult with only one hand but after buidling several green houses and the like he has gotten skilled with only using one hand*

*soon it is finished and he moves back*

< ok paint you can let go now 3<

*he says, lightly stroking the bird's back*
