Lamb's ear-- oh yeah. She chuckled softly at the pup, shaking her head for a moment. "Lamb's ear is a kind of plant, I can show you when we're done here," her tone was gentle, smiling without condescending. "Sometimes it helps fix up scrapes, and will help them hurt less when they heal." Lacerations, small flesh wounds, things of the like-- such was life when it came to a pack filled with warriors. Halo really wanted to make the Warlord proud, and do what she could for her new family. Being useful... if she was useful, they would want her to stay. Her family telling her to get out and not return still hung in the back of her mind, their lack of warmth something that would haunt her.

But it was no matter, at least not a matter she could dwell on. As the pup bounced on his feet, Halo bounced in return. The infectious joy of the young was something that she could be grateful for. It was enough to clear some of the grey. "I do, come on, we'll have a snack," the pale girl's tail wagged, motioning for Basilisk to follow her. Always hungry... that was likely right for his age. Some gum soreness in teething pups was normal, and Halo would need to learn more about the fangs as they came in. She made a mental note to ask Sirius if he remembered when his stopped aching, or when he remembered when the complaints of his fanged children ceased. A baseline was important.

She led the way to her den, carefully tucking the string with Basilisk's measurements away in a basket labeled pup records. As Basilisk was her first patient from his litter, she'd be able to color code his twine later. Red, he'd decided. "Do you like fish?" Her tail wagged, looking to the child. She'd pulled up so many minnows, dozens of them, the last time she'd pulled water from the river. Halo had been able to leave them to dry on a broad flat rock while boiling the water, and they made for a pleasant and tasty (though not the most filling) treat. "When your teeth are bothering you, you can come find me and I'll give you some herbs that will help," as for his paws, that was par for the course.

As she went to pull the minnows for a snack, Halo also grabbed a small box that was filled with red berries. Choke cherry, and these weren't ripe yet-- something that she certainly wouldn't recommend eating, but also wouldn't be harmful. She'd dump them in the smallest pot near the fire, splashing them with water before adding them to the heat. "How's your training going, Basilisk? Are you learning anything fun?" Maybe he'd even be able to teach her something.
