Herbalists' Cache Life goes so fast, I've been living so slow

@Rye Sorry if this winds up being a short post!

After tearing the claw out of it's socket they'd decided to take shelter beneath the trees closest to the plains for a few days while keeping off of their paw and cleaning the wound frequently. Much to their dismay the constant licking didn't fix anything when they'd needed to continue hunting for something to eat, it had been way too long not to put food into their body. With an infection blossoming Vida took off at a slow pace on a search for herbs that would be growing in early spring.


On the way they'd been lucky to spot the first few blooming flowers and while admiring the beautiful sight recognized the multiple long, white flowers to be daisies. With a sinking feeling in their gut they had plucked them from the ground grimacing while chewing the entire thing into a bitter tasting pulpy wad inside their mouth and continuing on their way. Despite the saliva pooling up they left the daisy mush inside their mouth until they caught an interesting scent on the breeze that changed their course bringing them to a meadow of melting white and blossoming greens with many colorful flowers starting to sprout and types of flora growing amidst it all. It was a haven so grand they almost choked on their daisy mush lowering their rear to the ground they smooshed the wet, pulpy plant flat upon their tongue and lifted their paw to their mouth lapping the makeshift poultice onto the paw bit by bit until it caked everything. Keeping it off the ground so it would dry properly they began to study the various plants around them with an amazed expression, their tail tapping the ground a million miles an hour.
