Blackfeather Woods wildcards, men from mars

So Rowan was the leader, alongside Eldritch herself. Meerkat nodded to acknowledge this information, then went still as the black-furred woman began searching the area, presumably looking for a natural painkiller. Meerkat sighed and tried to relax as she waited, putting her bum leg back on the ground but leaning so she didn't put too much weight on it. Even if Eldritch could help treat the pain, she was pretty sure she would have to do a three-legged limp the rest of the way home if she wanted to avoid aggravating the injury further.

When Eldritch returned, she unwrapped a bundled leaf to reveal a small heap of black seeds. Meerkat looked down at them in interest. "Poppy seeds," Eldritch said. Perhaps she was a healer, after all. The yearling smiled gratefully at her, then hesitated.

It wasn't that she didn't trust her new acquaintance but if she was going to swallow a strange substance, she wanted to know, "Are there any side effects I should watch out for? Could it make me sick?" Neither the sight of them nor the idea of swallowing them bothered her, though it was entirely possible the seeds themselves might turn her stomach, among other things.
