Otatso Wetlands the sweetness will not be concerned with me

Sebastian nodded. He turned on his heels quickly so he could find some marigold to battle the infection of the boy. Sebastian knew that he couldn't give up on such a young life. He deserved to live. The grey male instantly moved his nose down and tried to find some marigold. However, these weren't plains and he wasn't sure if they would grow in a swamp. He tried to focus and not think about the fact that the boy could die. Then he noticed goosegrass and quickly picked that. He knew it helped with bleeding to stop. Perhaps he should go with that as he couldn't see marigold right this second. He picked as much as he could and then rushed back.

He placed the collected goosegrass on the ground and started to chew it into a paste. He would later explain to Aditya that this was not marigold but that he went with something else in the moment. As he was done chewing it into a paste of goosegrass and saliva the male stepped closer. It was clear that Sebastian needed to see the wound. He started to apply the paste to each of the wounds. He hoped it would work. He gently pressed the paste against all the wounds for the second time and then sat back. "This should do it for now," he spoke. "Now we need to move him back to the territory."

With some difficulty, they managed to bring the child back to Morningside Territory. At least the boy would be safe from further harm, however, it was still unknown if his wounds were going to heal.
