As her patient set about cleaning her wounds, Invictus busied herself compiling the herbs into two different piles; one that would be applied to the other's shoulder, and one that would be applied to her head. Bits of marigold, chervil leaf, nettle leaf, and goosegrass were contained in the first, which she carefully chewed into a bitter, earthy tasting poultice, her muzzle wrinkling and her lips curling at the taste. Once it had formed into vaguely solid, throughouly chewed mass, she carried it over to the other and gingerly spat it out onto the wounds, then used her nose to rub it in a bit. 

The saliva-ladden substance managed to stick well enough in the sense that it didn't immediately fall apart, but she knew from experience and the position of the wounds with which she'd placed it on that it'd start slipping if she didn't seal it with cobwebs soon. It would be a waste of time to make two trips, however, when she could finish treating both injured areas now, so she just tried to move fast in addressing the remaining wound.

Just a small grazing on the dark woman's head, easy to fix and quite frankly, not that in need of medical care... but it was still best to treat it while she was at it, just on the off chance it might get infected. Invictus spat out the remaining traces of herb in her mouth, yet an uncomfortable look still tugged at her features, pulling her mouth down into a frown. Her patient couldn't reach the cut on account of it being on her head... so it was up to the healer to do it the cleaning... 'Don't even think about biting me,' she silently warned before moving in, disregarding any protest the other had, and cleaning out the cut with a few throrough licks from her own tongue.

With that, she swiftly turned around and chewed up her second herb pile; this one much smaller and only containig two herbs, one to prevent infection and one to slow bleeding. As with the first, once she had her poultice made, she wasted no time in turning back to Midori, placing it on her head, and then turning away once more to go fetch cobwebs, dissapearing from sight with a wave of her ebony tail.

She didn't need to go nearly as far this time, as cobwebs could be found anywhere, and she need only take a few paces into the thicker grass to find some. It wasn't long before she swiftly returned and finished her job by sealing up all three wounds, the webs helping to stop bleeding, protect against dirt and debris, and hold in the poultices she'd so gingerly made and applied.

Of course, those herbs would only treat the surface problems, and would only lessen the she-wolf's pain by a small, barely noticable margin. For that, Invictus stepped back, took the poppy seed in her mouth, and cracked it in half. Poppy seeds were powerful painkillers and narcotics if used in a large amount; for that reason, it was safe to only use one, and even then, preferabbly just half if that would be enough. She rolled one half forward with her nose.

"Eat this for pain, and if it doesn't seem like it's working, eat the other half."
