[fancypost bordercolor=transparent; width: 400px][justify]Having been fetched from camp by Sundaypaw, Frostbreath rushed ahead of the senior warrior, jaws laden with colorful herbs.
If it had been a feline or a wildcat in Sjach's position, Frostbreath could have healed them without a problem -- but a dinosaur? For StarClan's sake, he could use every herb in his arsenal, yet still not have enough to fully treat the massive creature.
"Okay," Frostbreath meowed, a hysterical giggle bubbling from his throat. "Okay. Pineheart, Sundaypaw, Rabbitpaw, I need the three of you to go find as many cobwebs as you can."
If the territory's cobweb supply was severely dented after this, Frostbreath didn't mind terribly. Spiders didn't exactly take a vacation, after all, and could easily produce more. Even if this was not the case, the Medicine Cat likely wouldn't have hesitated to use up every single cobweb regardless. Despite his intelligence and attention to detail, the alabaster feline was remarkably short-sighted and passionate, especially where his clanmates were concerned.
"Sjach," the Medicine Cat said, "Please stop talking. I'm going to treat the wounds, first. I have some cobwebs with me, which I'll go ahead and apply once I'm done, but Pineheart, Sunny, and Rabbitpaw should be back before I need the rest. Okay? If you talk or move, I might actually kill you myself."
When Sundaypaw had fetched him, he'd brought with him marigold, dock, goldenrod, horsetail, and wintergreen. Since it was leafbare, his stores hadn't been as well-stocked as he might have liked, but he wasn't exactly concerned about that at the moment. He could always ask their allies for extra herbs, if need be.
"I can't give you any painkillers," Frostbreath said, pausing to chew the horsetail and marigold into a poultice. "Not that I have any that are likely to work on you. But I can't afford for you to get woozy or anything right now. No more so than you already are, at least."
The marigold and horsetail were the strongest of the two herbs that he'd brought, as well as what he'd had the most of. As such, he intended to use the two herbs on the worst of Sjach's wounds. The dinosaur's neck injuries were the most dangerous, so it was there that Frostbreath focused his attention. With gentle movements, he attempted to smear the poultice along his clanmate's battered neck.
