A thousand silhouettes

"Thank you."  He frowned.  On the one hand, it was a bad time to be taking in strays, but on the other, he didn't want to just turn her away.  Doing so would make him feel awful, true, but that wasn't the entire reason.  After Finley's abrupt dismissal from their care, he felt he owed it to RHC.  Taking Silverfeather in would in some ways make up for the breaking of their word in that situation.

"We have none injured right now, and though our healer has her paws full, I'm sure she would be glad to give you what aid she can."  He felt confident guessing that Blue Willow would hate the thought of kicking Silverfeather out injured and without help, so also felt confident offering her services.  She would turn his words down if they proved to be false, but for now, they would stand.  "You are welcome to stay until you are fit to travel home again."  Hopefully it would not be long, for though her injuries were bad, they did not seem life threatening or grave.
