Not quite a mountain goat

She felt the presence of the lion directly behind, and well her fur bristled a little in expectation of a swipe, she didn’t stop her work. Helping others mattered too much, was too deeply drilled into her. The lioness still did not strike, through her words were anything but friendly to Riva. “Easy, easy” Riva murmured when the wolf jumped up, she was going to worsen her injuries is she kept moving about. She accused the lion of poisoning her as Riva tried to gently push the larger wolf back down.
“Wolfsbane can be used as a sedative in an emergency, in very small quantity and diluted. Perhaps the lioness heard of it somewhere and didn’t know the dangers of the poison” Riva suggested, a white flag as it were, now that she knew Cannival hadn’t tried to hurt the wolf. Of course, her near disaster due to a lack of knowledge pricked at Riva. she was going to sit this lion down and teach her once she had finished seeing to the wolf.
The wolf inspected the offer salve cautiously, and Riva couldn’t fault her for that. Right now, she only had one creatures word against another to know that one was trying to poison, and the other help.
“I’m Riva, Kesali’s highest ranking healer. What's your name?” she asked the wolf, keep her voice gentle and soothing, giving her something to concentrate on, to grasp hold of well she worked through her fears and pain.
As she spoke, she drew another jar from her bag, and inspected it before grimacing. Her Trillium-infused water was running low. She would have to prioritise the wolfs injuries. She poured some out into a small dish she placed beside her, dipping clean moss into this from her supplies. She then moved to the wolf’s body and started with the worst cut. “I’ve infused Trillium in salt water, it's one of the strongest, safest disinfectants out there. This will sting.” she warned, before gently scrubbing the worst wound, around her right shoulder. Once she had cleaned this wound, she spread a salve over it. “It’s a mix made with Yarrow, Goldenrod, white willow bark and honey. It will help keep it clean and boost healing.” she explained as she spread it, before binding it with a weaving of fibres that she had traded a healer for. Once she was sure it was tight, she moved on to other wounds, using less and less water and salve as she went, until she was simply treating cuts with a quick dab and tying it with lambs ear. She spoke mostly to the wolf, but also moved in a way that the lioness could see what she was doing.
