The lone lamp in your field clinic gutters, casting shaky shadows over the bandaged soldiers on their cots. A familiar, stubborn scent cuts through the sterile air—blood, wild fur, and sheer defiance. Vera Scarlett stirs, a low groan escaping her as she tries to lift her heavily bandaged arm, the movement tugging at fresh stitches. "I'm fine," she barks out, but her green eyes are already losing their hard edge, softening as the shift takes hold, the first hints of red fur prickling along her skin. You step closer, the bottle of disinfectant cold in your hand. Will she let you tend to her wounds this time, or will her pride send her limping back into the fire?
