NOT GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH THIS

When everything descended into chaos all at once, Shay just took a few steps back and sat down, head tilting curiously as he attempted to watch everyone at once with just one eye and one working ear. He only moved once, to open his mouth with the intention of answering Ritsuka that yes, he was a healer actually, but before he could make even a sound he was cut off by another wolf, and he obligingly just shut his mouth and stayed out of the way even as the scene degenerated more and more. After all, what could he possibly do? There was no real order to what was happening, no one was issuing any sort of command except the other healer, and she'd immediately run off anyway, so really, staying put would just be the best course of action. Kept him out of the way when all he'd really be doing if he moved would be adding to the confusion.
He did watch with interest as a darker gray wolf dosed one of the sick wolves with something. Wolfsbane? He made a mental note to seek her out later and find out everything he could from her, as she must have been some sort of healer. Now probably wasn't a good time though, he decided when another wolf attacked her and immediately everyone went to her rescue. Maybe a bit later would be better.
The other healer had returned by then with some herbs that she began dosing another sick wolf with, and Shay's attention turned to her. Boneset, Earth Smoke, and Eldarberry was what the woman chose to try, and Shay took careful note of each and the amounts she tried. He watched with little expectation of immediate change. After all, herbs taken by mouth took some time to show effect. But the healer didn't seem to have his patience, for she almost immediately admitted defeat and began preparing a new combination. Alder Buckthorn, Alfalfa, and Horsetail if he recognized them correctly. They did seem to help, but a puzzled look crossed his face. "Why are you giving them to the same patient?" he finally spoke up, greatly curious about her method. "Are you not concerned about the new herbs reacting badly to the first set? Perhaps overdosing? That could kill him, and then that could confuse things a bit I imagine."
The white female who had first been with the sick female finally took charge then, sending the darker young healer off with the combination to their allied packs to see if they had the illness, looking for help, and then she chastised the other healer for experimentation without consulting anyone. But... was there something wrong with experimenting? Hm. He should probably keep that in mind and keep any experimenting he did under wraps if it was considered socially offensive.
His eyes strayed back to the alpha in time to see her suddenly seize up. "Excuse me," he piped up again. "The alpha appears to be having issues. Should I help her? Or someone anyway?" There was that rather large striped behemoth guarding her, after all... it would probably be best if he were to get permission before approaching the beast. Though he could have simply waited, since it appeared he was only moments from blacking out himself. Shay watched with interest as the big wolf simply toppled over like a felled tree, then climbed to his feet and ghosted over to them. Hm, who to look at first? Probably the behemoth, actually, as he had no doubt that the other healer would be all over the alpha shortly, and the behemoth would probably take experimentation a little better at his size than the respectably-sized but much smaller female.
He poked and prodded at the unconscious beast, uncaring but not unaware of the massive teeth he was getting close to as he checked the various vital signs. Finally he sat back and considered. What did he know that could help... and just as importantly, how best to forcefeed herbs to this monstrosity so he could see what happened?
talk, think
