The oriental-shaped feline didn’t let his appreciation go unnoticed, only giving the tom-cat a brief nod towards him before departing towards the crevices of the medicine den to gather the essential supplies for this specific situation. After all the moons that she had been a medicine cat apprentice, a simple gash wound and torn ear wasn’t anything that she wouldn’t be able to handle. She had seen worse wounding her timeline, so those injuries weren’t even the gist of it. Upon reaching the indented pits of the herb storage, the long-haired calico peered into each pit to try to identify any marigold or cobwebs that they may have left within their storage. Not good, there was only one piece of marigold left and three wads of cobweb. Stars above, has any patrol that either her mentor or her send out decide to make their way back with full paws? It was almost like they barely collect any to help out within the clan and then just waltz back towards camp like it's doozy.

Springpaw had to force back the boiling ire that was forming deep within her stomach to falter as she reached a paw in to grasp each of the required necessities: one poppyseed to help ease the pain, marigold to stop infection, and a cobweb to staunch blood flow and clot the wound. Since there was only one marigold, that may do since the biggest issue on her paws was the gnarly gash along Shadowtail’s shoulder. The torn ear itself wouldn’t be far too much of a problem except for just the usage of a little cobweb. Satisfied with her gathered essentials, she trotted her way back towards the direction of the lying tom-cat as she sat herself down in front of the moss-bed he was on, lending a paw forward as she dropped the tiny black seed in front of his view. “Eat… that… it will… help ease… the pain.” She ordered before moving a paw to her gathered herbal essentials and picked up the small wad of cobweb, carefully unraveling it as she began to use her claws to precisely pluck off a small bit of cobweb that she could put onto the torn ear.

Naturally, torn ears didn’t require any marigold unless it was critically necessary. It would just be a waste of herbs if she used one whole marigold just for the ear. With that being said, she reached a paw up towards the torn area and carefully compressed the small pieces of cobweb into the area, a little crude for her own liking, but it was better to get done than not. With the smaller picture out of the way, it was time to focus onto her bigger task at paw: the gash. The oriental feline carefully inspected the exposed flesh of the area, feeling her brows slightly furrow from the fact that the shoulder itself looked slightly… off. Curiosity almost unfolded itself, but she held it back from reaching any breaking point any further as she grabbed the piece of marigold that she snatched from the medicine den, being quick to get started chewing on the herb to make it into a proper poultice for the gash along his shoulder.

The process itself didn’t take too long to complete, as she could easily feel her tongue beginning to grow numb from the bitter aftertaste that the herb often left behind after she chewed it. After she was finished with her chewing, she raised a forepaw up and pressed the poultice onto her paw pad so she could easily move to smother it into the inflicted area. “This… may sting… a little bit.” the young healer warned, moving her paw in to apply the poultice onto the area so it could prevent any further infection from developing. She easily saw the white fur along her paw become a scarlet red from blood tainting it itself, but she didn’t let that distract her. She needed to focus more on trying to get the wound all covered before she wrapped in with the rest of the cobwebs that she had. However, while she was working, she was quick to notice that the shoulder itself seemed to be… dislocated.

This wasn’t something that she was familiar with, but she may as well try to relocate it back into place if that was what was to be necessary. Before even thinking about applying the cobweb bandage onto the poultice-covered area just yet, she covered it with her forepaws as she prepared to give pressure within the area to hopefully pop the dislocated limb back into place. Hopefully this doesn’t go wrong, as she hadn’t truly dealt with something like this before. “You… have a… dislocated shoulder… so please… try to… distract yourself… while I… put it… back into… place,” the healer explained, swallowing down the barrels of anxiety that she felt swarm seamlessly through her chest. With a small intake of breath, she abruptly pushed against the area, her ears popping up as she heard a quiet ‘pop’ come off from the limb relocating itself into his shoulder. Well, with that out of the way, it was time for her to finally bandage up the wound and he could get resting. “After I… bandage the… wound… I expect… for you… to start… resting… immediately… I’m… not expecting… you to… deal with… any other… injuries like that… or with… anything as… complex… as a dislocated… shoulder.”

Springpaw somewhat hoped that her words didn’t come off as too strict, but she didn’t want to let this tom-cat off the hook so easily. She wasn’t sure what quite happened to cause him to look so ruffled up, but she wasn’t in the best position mentally to really question it much. Without much thought, she carefully unfolded the rest of the cobweb and began to precisely press it into the gash, watching as the silver lining of the cobweb began to fold and turn into a crimson red. “You’re… finished… now please… try to go… rest… and lay off… that shoulder… I’m not… hoping to… chase your tail… just to keep you… from walking on it… too much.”

The worry practically washed off the young apprentice’s body from the way that she had reacted about the poppyseeds that the young medic herself had grabbed before she made her way over. Springpaw found herself furrowing her brows at the molly, easily noting the frightened reaction that she gave towards the small seeds. It wasn’t often that Springpaw had encountered something like this, or actually, even at all. Why was Streampaw acting so frightened of the seeds that were supposed to help her aid through the pain without any problem? Sure, the seeds themselves would put her to sleep if they were used properly, but given how frightened the young molly was at the moment, she doubted that the seeds would put her to sleep at all. Opening her jaws to reply to the other apprentice, her mentor had seemingly beat it to her as she explained to Streampaw that the herbs wouldn’t put her to sleep from how she was acting. The oriental-shaped molly found herself flicking her ears in a gesture of thanks towards the direction of her mentor, slightly dipping her head towards the ticked tabby’s direction as she briefly stopped working on cleansing the wound with her current bundle of moss. Which, the moss itself had already begun to turn into a deep scarlet red from the gentle cleansing of the wound.

The gash itself didn’t look as horrid as it did before she worked on it, the only remaining parts of the now-cleaned wound just having exposed flaps of inflamed skin that steadily leaked blood even if she had cleansed the wound. Pursing her lips, the calico found herself glancing up toward her mentor with a grimace smearing itself onto her expression. “Do… you think… we will… have enough… marigold… and cobwebs… to do this? We don’t… have any… marigold… left within… our storages… to work… on such… a gruesome… wound… but only… two wads… of cobweb… but we would… have to… use them… wisely.” Springpaw felt herself growing irritated at the warriors who hadn’t bothered to bring back more than what they carried. She couldn't blame them for the fact that it was currently winter and winter was the time of year when almost nothing was apparent, but it didn’t mean that they couldn’t at least try to find some herbs to help replenish the rather prestigious herb storage. Each herb they brought back meant almost everything for the herb storage itself. Without any herbs, or anything at all, what was the point? How was she and Drizzlecloud supposed to treat their clan-mates if they had no herbs to help anyone in particular? The thought itself was just making her head pound restlessly, and she didn’t want to deal with that. She wanted to focus on the current task that was happening right in front of her.
