Save Your Breath

"It's a pain in the ass to get is what it is." The boy was anxious about the wound he'd been left to deal with and the filter between his mouth and his brain that usually left him quiet and reserved was clearly broken. In fact, he couldn't remember ever talking so much in one go in his life. He preferred to blend into the background, and just get along. This was an unwelcome change of pace. Still, weren't healers supposed to have some sort of bedside manner? "It comes from poppy seed pods, it'll knock you out, maybe send you to another planet while we get through the worst of this. It's bitter," Probably wasn't a great idea to mix it with alcohol either but Sakana was equally worried the wolf would bleed out without it.  "Take it or don't, but the next part is gonna get messy."

He sent his bird fishing, tilapia or salmon would be best but he would take whatever the bird would find. When it returned a short while later he let the monkey to skinning the fish and laying it over the open wound before they worked together to get the injury dressed it with bandages. Something in the fish skin was supposed to help with healing, or so he had heard in passing, at least until they were sure the wound was free from infection. He took the time to talk through all of this as he went, just in case Ignis hadn't completely passed out.

Sitting back the boy finally stopped to breathe. The next challenge would be moving the old man to somewhere a bit more protected from the elements, but he supposed he'd need bigger wolves to help with that part of it.
