HEDGE / fleas

[Warringkingdoms]

  [font=trebuchet ms]The sight of Siborno rubbing up against a tree in an almost-comically exaggerated motion was certainly one to behold, though Rin found herself wondering if she should order him away from the tree, just to prevent him from aggravating his injuries. As she approached, she sensed Clony's telepathic buzzing, asking if it was a problem with the tree- while Aurum hypothesized that it was for fun. Neither of those seemed like something Siborno would be concerned about, but she could be wrong about that.

  When he finally clarified that he was itching, Rin halted a few feet away. If he was itching, and it wasn't primarily confined to the wounded areas... fleas were the most logical explanation. This could get out of paw really quickly, especially since Aurum was already touching Siborno. Maybe it wasn't fleas, but that was the simplest explanation.

  "Don't touch him right now," Rin said, shaking her head. "He might have fleas, and if he does, he could be contagious. I'll be right back with comfrey and peppermint." Pivoting and heading back towards her house, she racked her brain- had there been any more specific instructions for how to apply peppermint to kill fleas? She could do it by paw, of course, but then she risked catching them herself.

  Though she had refrained from teleporting just to prevent potential injuries, she would try to be quick.
