One good look from Malleus and the old man immediately started behaving better but Lydia still couldn't help but worry over what to do with him. Lydia nodded gratefully as Malleus said he'd take a look around. She busied herself with trying to keep the man calm as he muttered to himself and occasionally broke out in a wail. When he did she'd firmly push him back into the shade of the rock Malleus had helped lean him against. She was a good deal smaller than the old man but in his weakened state she was able to push him back into place. So help her if she had to she was going to sit right on him!

By the time Malleus returned the victim was lying on his stomach, staring forlornly at the sand. Lydia stared at the mass of herbs and despite herself she smiled. "Wow, this is an impressive haul. You've been studying!" She quickly started going through what he had, lowering her voice so that only Malleus could hear. "Ok, can you go ahead and take care of the boneset and valerian? He's doing a bit better now but he's still understandably stressed." She set the cannabis aside. "I'd like to try what we have here first before resorting to the cannabis for the pain." It was the herb she was least familiar with and she didn't want to accidentally overdose the man and cause him mental distress or to put herself in an unsavory situation.

Lydia turned her attention to the marigold and the dandelion. The marigold would act as an antiseptic and the dandelion could help ease the inflammation of the wound. Together they would both hopefully ease the man's pain. Steeling herself she quickly set to chewing the two herbs into a paste. Years of practice helping her to bear the bitter taste without making a face. Bending down she applied it to the man's paw as he wrinkled her nose and gave her a disgusted look. Eyeing the meadowsweet she shifted from paw to paw. She was most familiar with it for digestive issues and she was struggling to recall if it could be used for anything else. "We could also use the meadowsweet as an astringent but I think the marigold and dandelion should be good for now." It would probably be good to have a back up.
