#ice packs

When the whumpee gets beaten up while protecting the caretaker, and the caretaker helps them get home and patches them up. The caretaker helping the whumpee inside, and settling them on the edge of the bathtub. Them gently cleaning the whumpee’s wounds, and apologizing when they hiss in pain. The caretaker helping them to the couch as soon as they’ve finished patching them up, and them covering the whumpee in a blanket. The caretaker grabbing ice packs and putting them on the worst of the whumpee’s bruises, and the whumpee flinching at the sudden cold. The caretaker apologizing again, and thanking the whumpee for protecting them, and the whumpee thanking them for taking care of them.

When the whumpee has hurt their ankle, and the caretaker has gotten them settled in bed, then left them alone for a few minutes to go gather an ice pack and some water, and the whumpee decides to try to stand up and grab something from the other side of the room. The whumpee falling as soon as they try to put weight on their injured ankle, and landing on the floor with a loud thump. The caretaker hurrying back to the whumpee, and finding them sitting on the floor, clutching their ankle with tears running down their cheeks. The caretaker gently helping the whumpee back into bed, and carefully checking to make sure they haven’t made their ankle worse, then settling an ice pack on it. The whumpee hissing slightly at the sudden cold, and the caretaker asking them how they ended up on the floor. The whumpee admitting that they were trying to grab something, and the caretaker getting it for them, then handing them some water and telling them to just ask for help next time, instead of risking hurting themself even more.
