"Welcome to the infirmary!" Antonio, or Toni, announced happily when Feli explained my situation to him.
He was a nice looking Spanish man with brown hair and Emerald eyes.
Feli nodded to me before sitting himself down beside a cot. Inside was a man who looked just like the Italian, except with darker hair.
"Is that his brother?" I asked. I was pretty sure of the answer, but I had to ask anyway.
"Sí." Toni nodded.
I stepped toward the siblings quietly. "I can fix him, you know."
"Antonio did all he could." Feli shook his head.
I whipped out my first aid kit, revealing several bottles of maple syrup.
"The first Maple Warriors used maple syrup for all their injuries and ailments." I unscrewed the top from one of the bottles and started to apply the substance to my patient's bare legs.
"We just started up last week." Kuma pointed out.
"Shhhh." I hissed at the bear.
"He didn't say anything." Feli lifted an eyebrow.
"I speak to animals." I explained as I tended to the sleeping Italian.
"I guess that-a makes sense." Feli shrugged. He looked pretty impressed, though.
I shrugged modestly.
"All done." I declared once the bottle was half emptied. "He'll be walking around by tomorrow morning."
"Seriously? That soon?"
"Yep. Maple is the cure for everything."
"Fratello?" Lovi opened his eyes.
"Yes?" Feli took his brother's hand excitedly.
"Why are my legs all sticky?"
"That would be Mattie, here?" Feli explained.
"What the hell did you let him do? You idiot?"
"Calm down, Fratello. He was fixing you." Feli held his brother down. "If it wasn't for him, you'd never walk again."
This seemed to calm him down a bit.
"But how?"
I held up the bottle of Maple Syrup sheepishly.
"Mattie!" Gilbert's German accent piped up from the door.
"Mm?" I looked up at the white haired man leaning against the doorframe.
"I need to see jou in zhe main office."
