the king returns

The man hadn't been up to much lately. In the mornings he woke up, scavenged for herbs, took a bath in the nearest body of fresh water (he is very into personal hygiene), ate a snack or two, fished for more herbs, then returned to his lonely den once the sun went down. His daily routine got boring and lonely at times, the only company he had was a few squirrels and skunks he found in the forest. He enjoyed their company at times, but some days he ran into the grumpy ones, and got either attacked or sprayed in the face. But, he was used to it. At this time he was making his way out of the territory to take a peaceful bath, but something stopped him dead in his tracks. A distressed howl rang out across Seracia, and from the sounds of it they needed a healer. Now. Hesitation did not cross the mans mind as he took off toward the scene. A part of him hoped something had gone wrong so he could practice his healing skills, but a big part of him hoped it was nothing. Perhaps a woman giving birth, or a puppy with a head ache.
His heart sank as an injured and downed Gerhardt came into view. Something surley had happened, but of all wolves he hoped it wasn't the king. But it was. As he came closer, a few feet now, he slowed down to a steady trot. He stopped besides Gerhardt and did not say a word; he merely went to work. He examined his wound, the first one being his neck since it was still bleeding. Then he looked over the rest of his body, and after seeing no further damage he nudged the kings cheek ever so slightly. "The wound isn't very deep, which is good. Any further and you could have lost your life, or mobility. Damage to the spinal cord isn't something to take lightly." His eyes continued looking over the wound. Blood was slowly seeping out and matting into his fur, so he would need something to stop the bleeding and prevent blood clots. Something for pain would be needed as well.
"I will fetch something for the pain and prevention of blood clots. There are two options: Turmeric, which is merely an anti-inflammatory that also helps to improve circulation and prevent blood clotting, or there is Valerian, which is a pain reliever, but also a "downer". It will regulate the nervous system and relieve insomnia, tension, irritability, stress, and anxiety. I'm not sure how you received these wounds, but I have both herbs in my den not too far from here. I can retrieve either or." He waited for Gerhardt's answer before he took off. He didn't want to give the king a drug that would impair him for a few hours without his consent.
