it appeared his threat of hawkpaw being unable to become and remain a warrior if she didnt take care of herself or let others take care of the things she couldnt handle herself had worked. the apprentice exhaled, finally letting the mask of smiles and no worries slip into a frown.
secondly, it didnt appear like she didnt want to get treated because she didnt like him or trust him which was good for one and also meant his mildly manipulative appeared to have worked very well. dont get me wrong, rook wasnt aware it had been manipulative way to phrase the offer, this particular manner or communication was just something he knew would work in getting the younger cat to give in or at the very least talk and made use of.
"d'ya have any idea how it mightve happened? any past injuries?" the medic asked, voice neutral and angular head cocked to the side slightly in question. while he wished he had some more information on the apprentices history, he simply hadnt been around for long enough, especially not in a position where he could be worrying about other cats injuries, and besides, he thought it was valuable to let the 'patient' tell their own story. if only he could ensure every cat he met in a medical context was ready to cooperate and tell him what had happened without complaint or trying to avoid the truth.
"'s okay, i didnt mean ta' worry ya. if ye try ta' tell me what ya know n cooperate im sure we can figure it out" he assured the apprentice, giving her a nudge with his tail in what he hoped to be a light-hearted, reassuring manner. mind briefly rushing through his own past to select something to tell hawkpaw and take some of the fear he assumed he had caused away.
"ya know, i dont think most 'a shadowclan know this but 'm blind in my left eye..n got my shoulder broken but mossfreckle fixed it up n now its all good again. 's crazy how much we can fix without much issue huh?"

Hawkpaw was beginning to feel like it was okay to open up to Rookfire out of all cats, and she did not like it. But... It felt right. Who could she talk to about this, anyway? Duskpaw? Definitely not. In fact, she could not even think of any more options. Oh well. Hawkpaw shrugged, tail twitching behind her. She was... Quite surprised, honestly to hear that Rookfire was half-blind. And the fact that not much of ShadowClan knew it... It made her feel... Somewhat special.

"Well, uhhh-" How could she explain this without making it sound like she was absolutely beaten to pulp by the hawk??? "When I was, y'know, gone, I came across a hawk." That was... A half-lie. The hawk had spotted her, not her. She hadn't known until it had dug its claws into her. "I wasn't hurt that bad, y'know? But I managed to fight it off! That's a good thing, right?" She let out a little laugh, puffing out her chest. Yep yep, keep going. This story sounds much more appealing anyway.

"That's really it." She paused to look at Rookfire, smiling, then lapped at her choulder and chest. Rather aggressively.
