When he had set out days ago for the northern parts of the lore the weather had been extremely nice, perfect for traveling. This particular morning had been filled with a light rain that left his pelt feeling heavy as he trotted across the land in search of the plants he needed for his work. It wasn’t anything new traveling large distances for the plants that would allow him to help those in need and today was no different. Despite the gloomy conditions Emrys kept up his pace hoping to reach the place that he sought before nightfall. The one thing that he did like about the distances he traveled was the fact that he learned the lore that much better and there was so much to see and smell as he passed through the territories. AS always he was cautious of the paths that he took so as to not upset any of the packs by passing too close to their lands.

As he drew closer to the trees of stone watch timbers a faint scent reached his nares. It was one that he had scented a few times before in his travels, honey. A nice treat he knew as long as the bees could be avoided. He followed the scent with his stomach rumbling with hunger as he hadn’t eaten in a few hours. His thought being that it would be something to tide him over until he was ready to catch his dinner. AS the scent became stronger so did the scent of another wolf he had not noticed before and he wondered if he might have to share the tasty treat with the stranger. His pace quickened some as he came closer to where he was sure the honey was. The sight that greeted him was that of a lightly colored agouti wolf digging at the base of a tree. As he was thinking thorough what to do next he saw the strangers head drift upward, the white male allowed his gaze to follow that of the other. He decided that it might be a good idea to warn about the bees in case this fellow didn’t know. He approached cautiously and cleared his throat when he was near enough. “You might want to watch out for the bees.”

Emrys watched the male somewhat amused by his efforts but worried for his safety as well in his efforts to obtain some honey. Sometimes it was wort the effort for such a sweet treat and Emrys knew the health benefits of honey. Despite that he still felt there was some need for caution in this situation since bee stings could be dangerous. As the agouti male jumped up and scrabbled his way into the tree Emrys shifted his weight nervously afraid that he might fall out of the tree and acquire a worse injury than a bee sting. He was relieved when the stranger made it into the fork of the tree but that was short lived as he saw the stranger seemed to be wobbling.

The white healer offered his warning about the bees and offered a as best a greeting as could be given in the agouti males current situation. The disappointment soon followed when it seemed that his words had not been heeded by the males words. “I do hope that is true,” for the strangers sake. Emrys was not reassured in the slightest and his anxiety about the situation only grew as he watched the other make his way across the branch toward the hive.

It didn’t take long for Emrys’s fears to be realized when he heard a screech from the male and before the white healer could do anything the stranger had fallen to the ground. Jumping into action he ran over to where the agouti male stood on three of his legs, “Your standing that’s good but perhaps you shouldn’t be until we make sure that you don’t have anything broken. ”

Ensuring that none of his bones were broken from the far was Emrys’s’ first priority, “Do you think you have any broken bones?” He also had to worry about the bee stings that he was sure had been inflicted by the bees. “How many stings did you receive?” He questioned. The answer would help him to know how much of the particular plant he had in mind he would need. Though bee stings wasn’t something that Emrys felt was common place he was glad that his mother had taught him about them and that he remembered her teachings.

Quickly making his way to the man Emrys's mind was going through what needed to be done. With a fall such as the stranger had he was worried about broken bones and if there were any to make sure that they were set properly. Watching the man raise to his feet and then lower himself back to the ground Emrys felt a little more confident that the probability of a broken bone was slim. That was a comfort and then they would only have to worry about the number of stings. Emrys was sure there had to be at least one and he already had a plan of action so that time wouldn't be wasted, he just hoped the agouti male wasn't allergic.

The first question out of Emrys's mouth was to ask about broken bones. It was the more serious in his mind and needed to be taken care of quickly. He was relieved when the man said that he didn't think there was any, "That's good news though you may be a little sore tomorrow after a fall like that." Emrys thought they could deal with that after the stings. Then his concern fell to the stings as he checked the stranger over for any injuries and the stings. The answer to his second question was an uncertain three. "We can treat the three you're aware of and go from there," he suggested. It seemed the best plan of action to ensure the agouti male received the best care.

As for if the man should have listened to him, "A little more caution might have been helpful but sometimes it's necessary to make our own mistakes. The good news is you don't seem too bad off and that's lucky." It seemed his patient might have learned something from this experience and that was the important thing. Emrys was hopeful he wouldn't find his patient in such a situation again.

Though there weren’t any broken bones to worry about the soreness that Emrys was sure the man would feel the next day would probably be pretty painful. The good news was the agouti male would be able to get to somewhere safe to get through the soreness. Emrys didn’t see any reason why the male wouldn’t feel a lot better in a few days. Hearing the stranger state that he would probably would have some bruising on his ribs was disappointing to say the least. It meant that it may take longer than a few days for him to be feeling better. “Then it may talk a little longer than a few days however chewing the resin of the white bark pine might help,” he suggested. The resin might help with the pain as the bruising on his ribs resolved. “I hope that you are able to get plenty of rest,” stated Emrys his tone serious. He was glad that the man recognized that rest would be important for his recovery.

There were still the bee stings that they needed to address and it seemed the agouti man knew exactly what needed to be done next. Removal of the stingers so that the bee’s venom wasn’t still being pumped into the inflicted area causing more pain and swelling. When the paw was lifted for him to view and see if he could see the stinger he did his best to find it but it was rather difficult to see against the dark pad. He gave a shake of his head to indicate that he couldn’t find the stinger. Emrys watched as the stranger did his best to remove the stinger from his paw. The white healer thought that it was best if the man removed the stinger or tried to since he knew the exact location of where the pain was radiating from. “I was thinking plantain leaves, you chew them up and cover the area with the paste,” he explained, ”it should take the pain away and reduce the swelling and inflammation.” Emrys was sure that there would be some in the area all he had to do was find it and he would most likely only need one plant to take care of all of the stings.
