Shinefang examined the tom's paw, frowning and narrowing his eye as he looked it over. "Unless you were hunting in Windclan territory there's no way it got this swollen from just walking. He could feel heat coming off of the leg from the inflammation. He pressed it gently, feeling for a break that it turned out wasn't there. The warrior pulled his paw away saying something about the tansy he was sorting and and stood up to leave. His injured paw buckled before he could get close and Shinefang's tail lashed. "Did I say you could leave?" he growled, "Get your tail back in that nest, Morningdew." He glared at the tom impatiently before turning back to his herb stores. He hooked a cluster of elder leaves and pulled them onto the floor and set aside three good looking leaves. "If you had come straight here it would have been better in a day. Now it's going to be more like four," he grumbled. The old tom picked the leaves up in his jaws and began to chew them. "Warriors," he muttered with his mouth full. "You have as much sense as kit sometimes."

Morningdust looked at his paw with an angered expression.
"It's Morningdust." He corrected the medicine cat, all the while trying to hide his annoyance of both his paw, and his incorrectly said name. He made sure to keep his hurt paw off the ground as he limped back to the nest while flicking the tip of his tail from side to side. Once he had returned to the nest, he took interest in one of the old cat's remarks.
"How can you tell that it'll be better in 4 days, instead of one?" The previously irritated on his face was now replaced with a more curious one. He opened his mouth and breathed in the scent of the den. He recognized the scent of the leaves Shinefang had pulled out, but never thought they may be used for medicine.
"What are those? What do they do?" Normally, Morningdust wasn't exactly the talkative type, but he didn't like the idea of someone else treating him with things that he had no clue of what they were, for an injury that he didn't even know the extent of. He subconsciously pulled his wounded paw back to his body and sat up while he waited for a response.
