Pain. Such a thought made the russet tabby cat's skin writhe. Pain. Oh, how he hated pain, even if it didn't have anything to do with him. Only, it did; it always did. And, as usual, it was due to his own stupidity masked as determination that the poisonous blossom finally bloomed. And in four places, nonetheless.
Had it been wise to continue with regular activities after hiking up the rocky cliff side of the waterfall's ledge, leaving bruises and scraps unattended? Probably not, but it wouldn't have killed him. The dull pain Sabletail had felt then during the pawful of border and hunting patrols he led since had been bad when he first felt it, but thinking back upon the times of calmer nerves, the dark tabby dictated that the sensation he had felt then was more along the lines of stepping on a cloud in comparison to how he felt now.
Had it been in his best interest to transverse the low meadows after a heavy and slosh through the mysterious and bacteria-filled swamp water and marsh while his wounds were still in the process of healing simply to hunt for some frogs? Indeed, it wasn't- not even with the reward of getting to show off the odd and slimy frogs to the kits back home- he agreed, but figured his body's natural immune system would have purged any inconsistencies that were found. However, that had not been entirely the case. Such was that apparent to the Mistclan deputy now.
As he sat uncomfortably in the familiar den that carried the pungent scent of herbs and Silverfang, Sabletail felt his pelt prickle with guilt. How long had it been since he was last here? A moon? Surely not that long- it seemed the deputy was perpetually standing with one paw in the Medicine Cat's den at all times. He could hardly think as his paw pads throbbed angrily, swollen and setting into a green hue. Glancing down at them, he grimaced. How had he let them get to be that bad? At least he was getting help now.
