Shortly after Kipo reunites with her family, things went south immediately. Right now, Lio is taking a look at Rook's wing while Kipo supports him, Song sits to the side, ready to jump in if needed. Lio grasps Rooks wing, earning a pain filled hiss from Rook. Everyone else is currently working on a camp for the night, Molly collects fire wood, while Benson, Dave, and some others help gather food. Everyone else either stands on guard or helps set camp. Lio examines the injury and sees that his wing isn't severely broken, but the bone is snapped in half. "Hmm, it's not as bad as it looks, just need to put the bones back in place and put them in a splint. Uh Rook?" Rook looks at him. "I'm going to bend your wing back into place, it's going to hurt." Rook just looks at him, then takes the top half of his broken spear, and bites down on it, he looks at Lio and nods. Lio nods back and motions for Song to help, she gets to his side and takes on part of his wing, while Lio grips the other part. Kipo grips Rooks hand with her paw, and Rook holds his breath. Lio nods to Song and she nods back, with a quick motion, they snap the wing back together, with an audible crack. Rook squeezes Kipo's paw painfully, and bites down on the spear, struggling to contain his scream, but takes very deep breathes. 

Lio sighs, quickly taking the other half of the broken spear and some vines, and makes a makeshift splint. "There, that should heal up in about two weeks." Rook spits out the spear and grunts. "Don't worry, I'm a fast healer, it'll be healed up in a day or two." He says as he stands up, almost falling. Kipo is quick catch him. "Easy Rook, you say you heal fast, but your injured now." She helps him over the fire and sits him down on a rock. "I'll go get you some water." Kipo jogs to a near by stream. Rook silently stares at the fire, and looks up the others around the fire, all of which are starring at him. Molly sharpens her axes, Wolf glares at him, the other just look uncomfortable. Benson and Dave return with bags filled with fruit, Molly puts her ax to her side and grabs a piece. "I wouldn't eat that." Rook says plainly, Molly Looks at him and rolls her eyes, she bites into the and immediately cringed, and spat it back out. "Ugh, it's so sour!" Rook chuckles. "It's not ripe, you can tell by the green color, it turns yellow when it's ripe." He explained and handed her another one. Molly was skeptical, she took the fruit and took a bite, and smiles. "Wow, you were right, thanks." He nods. Dave grabs different piece of fruit, this one is brown and long yellow stem. "What about this one?" Rook sees it and nods. "It's ripe but just don't-" Dave takes a bite, only for his teeth to crack and fall out, and he lets out a quick scream. "-bite the shell..." He takes the fruit smashes against the rock he's sitting on, soon cracking it, he peels it like a hard boiled egg, and hands it back to Dave. "Thanths." Dave says with missing teeth.

Rooks yawn and stretches his none broken wing, while everyone looks at him with astonishment. Rook freezes as he sees everyone starring at him. "What?" Wolf is first to speak. "What exactly are you?" Rook glares at her. "I don't know, what do think?" He says sarcastically. Wolf looks angry. "You look like you're in our way." Song  looks at her. "Wolf!" "It's true! This guy attacked us the moment we got here!" "HEY!" Kipo comes back with the water and she looks very angry. "I'M GONE FOR A MINUTE AND YOU'RE ALREADY BLAMING HIM FOR CRAP!?" Wolf is taken a back by her sudden anger. "Why are you defending him!? He attack us!" Rook speaks up. "You technically attacked first, so..." Kipo looks nods. "See, he wasn't trying to hurt us he was just wanting us to get off this dangerous island." "Like seriously it's called danger island for a reason..." Wolf feels defeated and sits back down. Benson gets a thought and decided to share. "Why did want off the island so bad? I'm mean we're not exactly push overs." Rook looks at him and then looks to the ground, wrapping himself in his wing. "Neither was Mid" "Mid?" Kipo asked. "What, do you honestly believe you were the first to set foot on his island? There were others... and each one was devoured...." Kipo looks at him with sympathy, and sits next to him, giving him the water she promised. "Thank you." He drinks the water quickly and sighs. "A long time ago, when I was younger, I hide by the shore, just wanting to stay away from all that his horrible island had.... soon I met ...Mid"
