She moved to grab the herb Snakeheart had directed her to use... and then blanked. He'd... never taught her what burdock looked like, had he? Or maybe she forgot. Yes, forgetting was much easier, and much more in character for her. A wave of embarrassment and shame washed over the warrior. Now Lilycreek would have to be in pain, and it was her fault.

She leaned in closely to the other molly as she choked out a quiet apology. "I-- I don't know which one is burdock. If you think you're okay without a-anything, I'll just disinfect and wrap it. Or I could..." She trailed off. As much as she wanted to help Lilycreek with her pain, something inside of her seized up at the idea of the scolding she would get if she slipped the younger queen some dandelion. What a coward she was.

Morninglily just scolded herself quietly as she began to chew up some marigold into a poultice. It didn't take long for her to have it spread on her clanmate's chest, and she began covering it with a wad of cobwebs. The silence as she worked was deafening, so she figured it wouldn't hurt to distract Lilycreek (and herself) with some small-talk. "S-Sproutkit was very brave while you were gone. He, uh, c-came out looking for you. I'm sure he'll be glad to see... see you safe."

Lilycreek smiled. "Did he? That does sound like him. I'll check up on him later." Poor, nervous Morninglily. "That one's burdock." She flicked her tail toward a plant with dark leaves. "Though I'm glad you didn't chew it. Horrible bitter stuff," she grinned at the other cat.
