”Alright, we’ll get you cleaned up and then we’ll make some carrot soup,” Derpy said as she started to towel down the filly. After a few minutes she would be all nice and dry, and probably a little fluffy if she was anything like Dinky after a bath. But they would have to brush things out later: there was still the bandages to do.
So while Starberry sucked down the hot cocoa – and Derpy had to admit that the pure joy on the filly’s face as rather adorable - Derpy started getting the bandages ready. It took a moment, her hooves tangling up in the bandages as she tried to unroll them, forcing her to rip and put that first bundle to the side. The second round was much better, and with them ready to go it was time for the not so fun part. Pulling out the disinfectant, Derpy got it ready.
”Alright, this might sting a little bit, but it’ll help keep that from getting infected and being worse.”
She waited a second to let the foal prepare herself before spraying, and then another moment to let the foal react to it before getting the bandages and gently wrapping them around the should. Pulling on them so they’d be nice and tight, she finished up the job.
”There, all done. It shouldn’t take too long to heal up, and I know it might be a little annoying, but you’ll need to leave it be okay?”
With everything taken care of for now, Derpy finally felt like she could rest. It was then that she noticed that along with the cocoa Reed had brought her a tea.
”Oh, thank you for the tea Reed,” she said as she grabbed the still warm but no longer hot tea. Derpy herself was still a little dripping wet, and she needed to dry herself off really soon. But for now, the warmth flowing through her as she sipped down the tea was enough to help put off the chill.
