Poppy winced as the nightwing clawed at her, leaving a small gash in her head, Destiny came running up to her quickly and hissed at the nightwing. The nightwing quickly hissed back and said, "You two mistakes should have never been hatched, you're lucky Glory took us in or you'd be slau-" The nightwing was cut off by a larger and more menacing nightwing growling behind her, she turned around and said, "Oh... H-Hey Necrotic, I was um.... Just talking to these tw-"

Necrotic slammed the nightwing's head down into the ground, "Leave them alone, filth, it is not your duty to judge others, especially those above you." The nightwing rushed off as soon as she could, crying slightly, Poppy thought that was a little extreme.

Necrotic then looked at Poppy and said, "Oh, dear, you are bleed quite a lot, little one, here, let me bandage you up." Her voice was calm and reassuring, Poppy laid down next to Necrotic, she slowly pulled out some bandages and a small vile of what looked like water.

Necrotic turned to Destiny and said, "Young one, keep your sister calm, this will be a bit painful but it will prevent infection." Poppy was slightly nervous as Destiny gently hugged Poppy, the liquid slowly ran down her face into her wound, it burned a lot, slowly it stopped and Necrotic wrapped Poppy's head in bandages.

"You did well young one, you deserve a treat." Necrotic said as she held out a bottle of honey, Poppy excitedly took it quickly she shoved her maw in to eat the honey, accidentally getting stuck. Necrotic laughed a bit and looked at Destiny as Poppy struggled to get the bottle off, Necrotic said "Your sister is quite the handful young one, keep her safe."

Destiny then nodded and said, "I know, but I'll make sure nobody tries that again." Necrotic laughed a bit and said, "I trust you can." Necrotic quickly popped the bottle off Poppy's maw her dull blue eyes full of kindness and care as he then said, "Careful next time, I suggest using your talons to the honey or perhaps dipping fruit in it."

Poppy smiled and said, "Thank you, Necrotic!" Necrotic smiled and said, "You're welcome, I will always assist the good as long as I can." Poppy smiled and decided to share the rest of her honey with Destiny as Necrotic left.
