These were not the visitors Wolfsong expected today. Given the recent trend of kittens left by Sootstar's mongrels, he would have thought another litter arrived long, long before he suspected the return of their exiled deputy and Curlewnose. He wonders how much they were told of recent happenings. Sunstar met them at the border, of course, or they would not have been permitted, so Wolfsong suspects they have been apprised of the most vital information— alongside the whereabouts of Badgermoon's children, of course, who are all recent warriors (though Rumblerain's absence is no doubt distressing).
What questions Wolfsong has for the pair can wait, however; Curlewnose has a particularly nasty wound, one that has clearly gone without proper treatment. That, at least, has partly answered one of Wolfsong's thoughts.
He cleans his throat with a wad of moss, sole eye narrowed in concentration. This close, the bite wound stinks quite noticeably, and he wastes no time chewing and slathering marigold over Sootstar's teeth-marks. Not yet free of her influence, but with a bit of effort and careful tending, Curlewnose will at least recover from it. "You will remain in the medicine den for at least six sunrises," he instructs, the taste of marigold petals still thick on his tongue.
He glances at Badgermoon briefly. "I can relieve some of the pain if you need it. We must focus on keeping your body strong to fight the infection." Wolfsong nudges chamomile toward Curlewnose, and another toward Badgermoon. "Eat this, and we will see about finding you prey, though you can eat only smaller portions, lest we upset your stomach."

-
— ★★★☆☆ WOUNDS: You're (mostly) in safe paws. You'll know if he's less experienced if he asks for your permission to try a treatment. No wound can scare him away from knowledge.
— ★★★☆☆ INFECTION: He can prevent most infections. If you feel feverish, let him know; he'll hum thoughtfully over herbs and sniff your wound before saying, "With your blessing..." -
— ★☆☆☆☆ ACHES & PAINS: If you complain to him of pain, he'll ask where. If it's a headache, you'll likely feel a bit better. For anything else, "Try this, if you'd like, and tell me how you feel."
— ★☆☆☆☆ BROKEN BONES: At best. he can ask you to remain lying down in the den. He may try to distract you with conversation while he considers what herb to feed you. -
— ★★★★★ TRAVELING HERBS: Going somewhere? No worries; Wolfsong knows just what you need to stay hale and healthy during your journey. The rest is up to you.
— ★★★☆☆ KITTING: Thanks to Starlingheart and his own pregnancy, he's better prepared for the arrival of kits, but any complications will need a little faith and a lot of luck. -
— ★☆☆☆☆ POISONS: It's best if you avoid eating anything unfamiliar to you— it's probably just as unfamiliar to Wolfsong. The best he can do is offer you yarrow and sit with you.
— ★★☆☆☆ ILLNESS: If it's white or greencough, you'll likely recover. Otherwise, prepare for odd concoctions and the usual request that you consent to a little trial-and-error.
