For the next three days, Ozone would change Tiberius's bandages with new ones. It was always done silently since the pair never really talked to each other. After that, they would just go to a separate corner of the shed and stay there, maybe even take a nap, before Ozone could leave. The only exception to that was Gidget giving the cat a task to do.
Like brushing.
"I still don't see why she makes me do this," Ozone grumbled as he ran the comb through feathers big and small. Grimacing when it got caught on his skin from time to time, Tiberius muttered, "For once, I think I might agree with you- OW!"
"Sorry, trying to do this smoothly," Ozone murmured his apology. He spat out the broken comb. Wiping his tongue off, he stopped when he heard Tiberius mumble quietly, "It's alright. Just… be careful." Astonished, the hairless feline looked down at the old hawk. He had his chin resting on a rat skull while he stared off into space. The cat didn't know if he even realized what he said or not.
Sighing softly, Ozone grabbed the soft blanket and draped it over Tiberius's shoulders to keep him warm. He was cold too but he could manage until he got home to his alley. Picking up his broken comb, he murmured, "I'll see ya tomorrow… I guess…"
"I guess so…" Tiberius spoke softly as he watched Ozone walk away.
