Springpaw could almost feel her lips purse in relief as she watched the molly in front of her shift herself to be closer to Yarrowcrest’s face, seemingly cooing him while also trying to coax him to eat the other half of the herb that she was currently holding. Lapis hues darted down towards the tom-cat as her throat felt like it was clenching itself unbelievably tight. She could easily sense the incoming exhaustion that was waving off of Yarrowcrest like a raging storm of smoke from a burning house, almost making her lungs feel like they were being tickled by soft feathers and particles of dust. Biting back a raspy cough, the feline swerved herself around to reach a paw into the leaf-like pouch and searched recklessly for a piece of marigold. She had to have at least a couple more, right? She only used one for Yarrowcrest’s wound while they were still at Cattail Pond, and that didn’t seem to do much to fight off the infection that had plagued his gruesome wound. However, now with the burnet applied to the area and numbing most of the pain that the tom had experienced, including making most of the inflammation die down, he should hopefully be entirely unable to feel the way that she will touch the area and continue to apply as much as she could to keep it from becoming worse than how it already was. Sucking in a sharp breath of air through clenched teeth, she swiftly scooped up a stray or marigold with a foreclaw and pulled it close to herself, glancing over towards the duo as she shifted herself in preparation to start chewing up the herb into a poultice and slather it onto the fizzling wound. A shot of relief pulsed through her system as she watched Yarrowcrest finally eat the herb, silently relieved for Sparrowfur to listen to Springpaw’s instructions and gently rub the bottom of his jaw to hopefully coax him into swallowing the herb. Thank stars he didn’t spit it out, though!

Focusing back towards the herb between her small paws, she began to gently nimble along the edges to carefully chew it up into a usuable poultice, which she had carefully began to use her tongue to press the poultice against her teeth to keep herself from accidentally swallowing the bitter-tasting paste. She could almost feel the unbridled urge to gag against the mushy feeling on her tongue, but she kept going. Yarrowcrest’s life was on the line, and if she didn’t do anything, then who the hell was? After chewing for approximately three minutes, she used her tongue to carefully push the paste onto her paw-pads and moved it over to the wound to cover it back up with the marigold-like paste. Thankfully, due to the inflammation being died down by the burnet, this should actually help the wound properly heal up unlike it did before. After carefully slathering the poultice onto the wound, she reached down and grabbed the last wad of cobweb that she had stored in her leaf-life pouch and began to unwrap it, carefully wrapping it around his leg to tightly hold the wound in place, being sure to be tightly secured so that the cobwebs didn’t fall out. After a few seconds of wrapping, she pulled her paws away and glanced over towards Sparrowfur, her blue eyes glazed with sympathy as she stared at the distressed feline. “He should hopefully pull through with all of that on. Let me give him a poppyseed and he should rest for now. He should start feeling better in a couple of days. If not, please let me know if he has a fever developing or if the wound is starting to show signs of infection again. None of those should be likely, but it should be best to keep caution in case they are bound to happen again.” She explained somberly, reaching an free paw down back into her pouch and pulling out a small, black poppyseed, extending it towards the direction of Yarrowcrest for him to eat so that he could rest.
