ouch, that one hurt

Blood trailed down from his right shoulder. His paw held gently off the ground as he limped back to the isle's main building. Wincing every time he took a step, the Raid King hopped up the steps and brushed his large frame through the doorway. Glancing around the large foyer with the crackling fire, he wondered if anyone was around. Sakana? Rivin? Modesty? One of the pups, maybe? Not that he should be trusting the new litter to be patching him up yet, he would take what he could get. Moving slowly over the slick tile, Gil stretched out on his right side so that the wound on his left shoulder was seen clearly. Tilting his muzzle to the sky, he lets out a howl to request the aid of a healer.

Surprisingly, it wouldn't take long for someone to answer his request. To his delight, Rivin came in with a bundle of supplies. Unlike the times when it was her mother answering him, he was actually happy to see her. At times, Gil was an asshole, but he also was fatherly and prideful and enjoyed seeing the youngsters of the pack blossom. Even if Rivin also wanted to fight, he wanted to help her learn to be a healer too. They needed more of that in the pack anyway.
He lets out a soft chuckle as she demands to know what happened to his injury. Glancing at the open wound that still bled gently, his smile turned into a sheepish smirk. "I was cleaning up some debris around the isle's beach," Gil started as he shifted some more to get comfortable. "I didn't notice a sharp piece of metal sticking up through a bush. Tripped trying to move a large piece of rock and stumbled into it," he would have shrugged but it was more painful to do that. Instead, he turns to eye the dandelion warily. "I really have to eat that?" The Raid King asks with a scrunch of his nose.

Gil's lips tense as he eyes the girl. Her suggestion for checking the bushes next time has him wanting to roll his eyes. Instead, he remains stoic and chooses a different route.
"Perhaps the bushes should watch for me instead," his expression relaxes at his attempt at a joke. When Rivin moves on anyway, he arches his brow back at her. "But it's a flower," he muses as he reaches a paw out to paw at the plant. Yuck. Letting out a sigh, he watches Rivin work as she grabs the moss and dabs his injury. In truth, it was stinging quite a bit and the ache was making his muscles tense in an uncomfortable way.
Without another word, he lowers his muzzle and quickly takes the dandelion into his mouth. Chewing as fast as he can, he swallows with a wince. Disgusting. It forces a snort from his chest and out through his nose as he looks back to see what she is doing. As much as he wants to retort, he holds back - he wasn't that sort of guy. "Think I'll get to keep my leg?" Another attempt at a joke as he smirks lazily at the young girl.

At his next joke Rivin lets out a true laugh. "I guess I can save it… or we can amputate it and have you bash people with it at the next raid." The visual of Gil running in on three legs and clobbering wolves with the lost limb was amusing. "So long as you keep it clean, and let me know immediately if it starts getting red, swollen, or pus filled you should be fine. Avoiding infection is important. Letting infection run rampant can risk the limb." Some important information.
"Gonna chew up and apply the poultice now and keep it on by binding your limb with horse tail. Keep it on for the way, and starting tomorrow remove it and keep the wound clean. If you have trouble sleeping due to the pain I can give you poppy seeds. They taste better than the dandelion but they'll knock you out so they're better used at the end of the day." She grabbed the other herbs, minus the horse tail, and worked to chew them in her mouth. A mix of bitter flavors caused her to wrinkle her nose. The taste wasn't great but this was necessary.
Once thoroughly chewed she spat the mixture out onto the wound and began to spread it on the surface of wound, expecting the medicine to cause a temporary increase of pain and sensitivity for the man.

Gil chuckles at the appropriate moments and nods thoughtfully to show that he understands her instructions. As far as patients went, he was an easy one and would rather it be done quickly so he can get on with his life. He enjoyed his rest, but being the Raid King, he had too much on his plate to take care of. And pups to be keeping an eye on.
His mind started to spiral until he heard her spit out whatever she had been chewing and before he could ask what it was, he was grunting in pain. Whatever she had pressed against his wound stung like a bitch. His face wrinkles and his teeth clench together but he refuses to cry out. He wasn't a wimp.
"Are you done yet?" Gil grumbles as his ears begin to lay flat. He hadn't thought his wound that terrible. Or maybe he had just never had a proper healer help him out before.

He listens to her talk and nods at the appropriate moments. So she had some sort of idea on how to go about it, but not the complete method. Gil lets out a hum and shrugs his shoulder. "Sakana has aided in some births, but I'm not sure about limb removal," Gil thinks some more and pauses a moment before speaking again. "Don't forget though. With such a large wound, you would need to cauterize it some how. Utilizing rope to cut off the blood supply would not be enough. You would need fire or something really hot to stop the wound from bleeding or they would surely die," he lifts a brow as he assesses Rivin. Was she meaning a prey creature or another wolf? Surely prey... right? He chuckles and nods. "I'm sure someone can bring you some squirrels and raccoons to try it out on first," he smiles and waits to see what she thinks.

He notes her playfulness and responds with a smirk. "Ah, well, some might not deserve to be whole," Gil responds with his own tone of cheekiness showing through now that he wasn't feeling as much pain as he had been in previous. "It's not often you have to remove limbs, but with how things have been going lately, I wouldn't be surprised if it did happen," his shoulders shrug before he is rising to his paws. Giving his coat a shake, he turned to Rivin and looks at her for a moment. "You're more capable than you believe," Gil adds on, his tone a shade softer, more fatherly in nature as he continues to regard her.
"Is there anything else you wish to speak on?" He asks after a few beats of silence. Turning toward the door, he moves to exit unless she needs to talk mor.

She needed to get experience with closing up larger wounds from maims too. But that is a subject for another time, should the need arise. Gil’s comment on how things have been going is met with a nod. “I wouldn't either… but Raiders are not exactly here to make friends and have a casual chat. Fights come naturally to us.” Even as someone who wanted to help mend the wounds of her comrades, Rivin wouldn't turn down the chance to get down and dirty herself. Fighting was still her favorite way to communicate.
His softer comment is appreciated, and Rivin feels a bit of heat come to her cheeks. “Yeah… and thanks to you I'm on the path to keep working on bettering myself.” Rivin is grateful for what he has helped her with this far, and she is determined to continue to strive to get better. For the Raiders, and for herself. She moves to follow him, if only to leave, and shakes her head as he asks if there is anything more she wanted to speak on. “Not right now, though I've thought about something to get some instruction on by Sakana.” She grinned. “I’ll be seeing you around, Gil.”
