His back hurt. It was his first serious injury and it felt deep enough that he wondered if the hawk had pierced all the way through him with those vicious talons, but he grit his teeth and worked through it. The poultice on his shoulders and plastered down his spine made his fur prickle, made him want to roll around to rid himself of the itch but it was good for him and necessary. Right now all he could manage was moving back and forth and fetching things as best as he could, struggling to focus due to pain and irritation and his tail lashed behind him with every step he took in the den. He was debating finding his siblings and setting them up with the task to help go out and get some herbs since at this rate he and Honeytwist would burn through them all.
Stuff for infection, stop bleeding, moss and water to keep things clean-rinse, repeat-he moved from the den and out to the nearby ponds sporadically, found himself dragging more bedding in to make places for the cats in need of aid that far outweighted what they were accustomed to having in the den. His mentor's kits had been shooed to the apprentice den to give them more room, he knew it upset her to do so; outside of Melonpaw who he was horrified to know they didn't know how to fix. What would they do. Could they even ask for help from any of the other medicine cats?
The sepia point found himself glancing to the side of the den, keeping an eye out for his cinnamon mentor before turning to grab the poppyseeds and snap another between his teeth to keep him up, keep him moving; he knew he should rest but with everything happening all at once the mere idea of leaving Honeytwist to it all on her own had his stomach twisting.
Dandelionpaw would manage. He had to.
"...out of marigold again..." He muttered, a paw swiping the empty dirt shelf it had once been stored in silent frustration, scratching at the indention as if he could dig for it to find more beneath the layer of dust.
[ ooc; This thread is open but if any of the injured cats want to post being in the medicine cat den and being injured then by all means!
