The Last Night

She finished chewing up the dandelion root, and just in time. Her uncle returned to her side, lying down and making her job easier. With a mouthful of chewed up roots, she carefully dropped it onto the rabbit skin and with a delicate paw, scooped some up to apply it to his body. She put it on all of his joints, carefully rubbing it in. She didn't know how effective it would be anymore, but she always did her best to make sure he wasn't in pain. Next, she pulled out some elderberries, nosing them towards him. "This is the last thing for now, then you can go and get some food." She sat back and watched him take the last of his medicine. She figured she ought to clean up, but she wanted to check and see what she needed to stock up on. If anything, she would have to do it tomorrow.
