After a few moments, Wildfire seemed to regain her composure somewhat. This relieved Raven, but she knew her sister wasn't out of danger yet. She wasn't sure if she could fix what was wrong because it was clear that there was a lot going on that she couldn't see, but she wanted to try and she was glad that Wildfire was willing to give her a chance. "I have some plants at the old badger den that I think might help. Wild rose, chicory, and chamomile flowers will help settle your stomach -- and the chamomile will help you relax. And I'm going to toss in some nettle, too, which should help you regain some strength."
As a wolf, Raven had no way of knowing what anemia was, but it was a common side-effect of prolonged starvation that carried the symptoms of weakness and lethargy. So while Raven only understood that nettles, chewed to a paste, helped a patient's strength and general wellness improve, the plant would actually be stimulating blood cell production, increasing Wildfire's overall health. "I have to go get it, though, so just wait here and rest. I'll be right back."

I'll have her return in my next reply. :)
