Oh, this Coyotesmile guy sounded swell. Someone with a little more knowledge than the crazy Otterstomp! Yes, Aconiteheart might have to hit that fella up sometime. Stars permitting, of course!

"Alright, you're gonna love this," he told Fawnsqueak as he headed off to follow the tangy scent of comfrey. "Keep that smell in mind: comfrey is tangy in nature, so it's hard to miss it." And there it was! A flowering bush with hanging purple bulbs. "Okay, so as a general note before we get into this.. never feed a cat purple flowers! They're toxic and will mess them up. With that in mind.."

Aconiteheart pawed at the ground beneath the flowering plant, until he exposed the rich brown root he was in search of. Very carefully, he nipped part of the root to release it from the soil. "Be careful about taking too much from a plant, you might kill it! Comfrey plants like sunlight, you'll be more likely to find them in fields than in the forest."

With the root in his mouth, he turned to set it in front of Fawnsqueak so she could get a full view of the root. "Wash the dirt away with water to clean it. You don't want to go rubbing this into wounds when it's dirty!" They weren't savages!

"And then.. you chew it up, and you rub it into injuries.. like burns, or wrenched claws, or a broken limb. Obviously you can't like, get it ON the bone, but the skin works just fine. It absorbs it into the skin and helps soothe the wound so it's less angry." Hmm, what else? "Oh! And for cats who have inflamed joints, itching, or sprained shoulders-- you can rub that in too, and it'll alleviate the pain and help it heal up. It's um, kind of like the "wild herb", I guess? A master of all and none, except infections and.. actual sicknesses." He was rambling. Hopefully it wasn't too much for Fawnsqueak.

".. Do you have any questions?"
