Laurelriver hadn't talked with Ryepaw since the Gathering. Of the cats in the wolf fight, he took significant damage - a wound that cut straight from his belly all the way up to his eye. It made Laurelriver think more of him, to be honest - a cat who she thought was just going through the motions was willing to stand up to a beast several times his size to protect the cats he cared about. And after spending a while in the medicine den, it seemed like he was alright to go on a border patrol.
Well, at least physically.
Ryepaw seemed... quieter since he came out of the medicine den. Laurelriver wanted to strike up a conversation with him, so today was as good of a time as ever. The calico she-cat smiled at him. "You okay to run?" she said, pointing her tail to the hill on the other side of the horizon. "Race ya to that hill over there!"

Ryepaw
Comin' thro the rye...
Laurelriver, a cat whom he hadn't spoken to much except for one or two sparing passing comments. Laurelriver, looking at him normally. He would almost rather her curl her lip in disgust, gawk in horror, stare in... something. At least then he could assume being miserable, let that little slip in his wall go just for a moment and act how he was. But... she was being nice. So he'd return the favour. Hemlockfox would probably brain him for this, but you only live once.
"Yer gonna win," He said, pausing to gently wipe the side of his mouth with his paw free of just a tad of spittle. The paw came back with a dark brown streak. He was still forever trying to get the blood off of himself again. "Was slow before, definitely slow now, eh? But I'll try. I'll give it a go."
This would not go well. He knew that, nevermind it, he still waited for her to count them down and took in a big heavy breath that caused a dull ache to spread in his chest. He was good for a while, a bit stiff and a bit of a limp but he was making progress. He could've forgotten about it, had a lightning shock jolt of pain gone up through his left leg and make it the whole way up. He hissed something akin to a mesh of 'fox dung' and 'mouse heart', lifting said leg and hobbling to a halt just shy of the mark she had pointed out. Every breath came in a wheeze, and he could feel the throb of pain in every cut and slice along the way the damned hound had got him.
"Am okay--" He sputtered out, quick to flash as friendly a smile as he could. Too much teeth. Maybe a maniacal grin would be more like it? Hard to seem 'cute' with a good chunk of his lip-flap missing. "Bit... Came on a bit too strong, is all. Am okay."

Laurelriver wished Ryepaw would have told her the truth.
The excitement she had when reaching the hill first quickly faded away when Ryepaw hobbled behind her. He seemed a lot worse for wear, and despite his insistence that he was okay, he seemed to be putting on a brave face. "You didn't really look okay," she said, scanning Ryepaw fully. "We can turn back, get you to Hemlockfox. I just don't want you to get hurt more." She'd take any punishment Tigerstar or Hemlockfox gave her for racing an injured cat, just as long as Ryepaw would be alright.

Ryepaw
Some shepherd inhales smoke from a burning bush...
"Naw, not a chance of it, Laurel," Ryepaw grinned, blinking his one remaining eye and raising his head so breaths were much easier to come by. Felt like shards of rock slicing his inner throat and it took every grit of his teeth to stop him from hacking up a lung.
"What good am I gonna do if am just layin' about? Issokay, Laurelriver. Promise. Makes me feel... Not like am half the cat I was before. Literally," He, finally relinqushing his lack-of-better-judgement, settled down into a seated position. His muscles burned, or maybe it was the jagged, scabby cuts going across it. They were getting a little better. "Makes me feel a bit normal. An' thank ye. For not, y'know, lookin' at me funny."
