"Haw...luch?"
"Owner! Own-NER! It's the person who takes care of you!"
Befuddled by the concept, Luchy shakes his head.
"Ohhh.... Maybe that's why you got hurt then! You's didn't have someone to patch your ouchy for you!~ I have someone like that, she's my mom, a-and my dad too! I have the BEST dad ever, did you know that?!"
Another head shake.
The young boy retrieves a bandage from his pocket, "See this? Mommy gave it to me, she said if *I* ever had someone to patch up, I could use this!~ Can I use it on you? I always wanted to be a doctor! Or a professor, o-or a doctor professor! Please, please, please!~"
Luchy shrugs, he's most likely going to die anyways. Better let the kid have some fun.
"Okay!~ Here we go, and don't tell me how to tie the knot like mommy does, I can do it on my own! I really can!" as referential as possible, little-Calem ties the bandage around the hawk's leg as best he can.
It's a horrible knot and looks extremely tryhard, but he gave it his best shot and that's what matters. Apparently.
Little-Calem is quick to forward the conversation, "So, since we're buddies now, can we go play games aaaaaaaaaaaalll the time?! Just DOOOOOON'T break any glass in the kitchen, mommy will get soooooo mad if you do that!"
"Hawluuuch...?"
The qt shota offers a hand, "Come on! If we hurry now, we're gonna have so much time to have fun--we'll have AAAAALL the time in the world, a-and that's a lot of time!"
"Haw....luch?" Luchy is still reasonably confused. After all, one minute he's left for dead, and the next a little boy is at his side with the assumption that they've been best friends since forever.
Luchy stares at his leg, it feels somewhat better, and he does sort of owe this kid back.
There's really nothing to lose here.
