Drizzlecloud’s adding her own words to the sudden situation gave the young medic some reassurance. The topic of taking a break was relatively digging underneath her skin. Just the aspect of it alone just made her feel terrified of potentially failing her duties as a medicine cat. Then again, it was detrimental to her mental and physical attributes. If she wanted to keep herself going on the successful path of being a good medicine cat, then she needed to give herself the proper time to tackle some rest and a breather once in a while. But, even with that thought, it still irked her with the incapacities that all of the other medicine cats had caused to ThunderClan nearly moons ago. She wasn’t fully aware of what Cinderpaw had done to get her properly demoted from her position, but she knew fully well that it had to be something that she was fully contributing towards that caused her to become a failure as a medic. Springpaw was no failure. She held her expectations high and mighty towards the greater good of her clan; not just for herself. Sure, it may be seen as selfishness if someone looked at it in a way, but Springpaw knew damn well that she wasn’t selfish. She had gone out and beyond to make sure her clanmates got the proper medical care that they needed just to be healthy. Was that an act of selfishness?

The medic wanted to ponder on the thought for a moment longer, but both the tripod and her mentor zapped her out of her temporary state from Mudhounds’ essentially gleeful reply from their appreciation towards her offer of making them a flower crown. Her lips essentially twisted themselves into an appreciative smile as her cheeks flushed against the interior giddiness pouring onto her. Flower crown making wasn’t something that she publicly exposed that she knew how to technically do. The only cat that technically knew that she could make a flower crown was the former deputy himself, Foxstep. Bitterness swamped her chest the moment that she thought about the tomcat, but she didn’t allow it to succumb her over, as she essentially forced herself to nod before lifting herself back up onto her paws. “I’d… like that… a lot… there’s… plenty of… flowers that… I use… to make… crowns… especially for… cats who… I am… close with… the most.” Her canids showed themselves over her bottom lip as she prepared herself to snag some cobwebs for a wrap and a poppyseed as well to help numb the pain. It wasn’t like the molly hadn’t known her herbs, right? “I’m… going to… grab… a poppyseed… and… cobwebs… to wrap… around the… area.”

Springpaw informed the duo before heading off towards the herb storage to snag her needed supplies for the situation. Thankfully, there was a portion of poppyseeds and cobwebs for this type of scenario. Without much thought, the calico lent a paw down to snatch one of the wads of cobwebs and a poppyseed from one of the flowers that were prominent within the herb storages. Thankfully, given that the required essentials that she needed weren't much, she used her jaws to gingerly carry her required items back toward the duo of felines, dropping the brittle seed in front of Mudhounds view in order for them to take it. “In case… it starts… to hurt… in the… meantime… while it… heals.” Springpaw explained, not waiting any further time as she moved to work on bandaging up the leg into a proper wrap in order to keep it from being prone to infection. Using her front claws, she unfolded the silver lining of the web so she could start using it as a bandage around Mudhound’s inflicted leg. Her movements were quick, the calico moving the web onto the leg as she began to wrap it around the inflicted limb, being sure to cover every aspect of the leg before briefly inspecting her work. With a smile, she carefully used a paw to pat the area before whisking her tail in dismissal. “You… are free… to go… please make… sure to… come by… in case… the leg… starts… to act up… or become… infected.”
