{Cypress Deeproot currently holds the position as Infirmary Keeper, so this thread is open to anyone in need of medical assistance of any kind... or anyone who wants to say hello!}
Cypress took pride in keeping the infirmary neat with almost military-grade perfection. He always knew exactly where everything was in his well stocked and organized cupboards and closets, the beds were made neatly and kept clean, and whenever possible he opened the windows wide to let in the clean air of Mossflower Wood. He kept himself very busy, and the large bay always was scented with whatever experiment he was running with herbs and poultices. His mentor had taught the young hare all that he had needed to know, but his mind was as agile as his body was not, and he wanted to push the envelope and make something new and wonderful to help his patients as well as he could.

It was just about time for all the creatures of Redwall to be preparing for breakfast and getting out of bed, but one little dibbun was missing from his bed that morning.
It wasn't unlike little Chamberlain to wake up before everyone else, and it was proving troublesome now that he could walk - and run, goodness - as well as open doors. Naturally, dibbuns weren't just locked in their rooms at night, but someone might consider making an exception...
While Cypress was busying himself, the door to the Infirmary slowly creaked open, and a tiny nose poked in before pushing the door open fully. Little Chit toddled in, looking around with great curiosity. It was evident he knew he probably shouldn't be poking around by himself, but he liked the way the room smelled, and he couldn't get enough of staring at Cypress' uniquely large ears.
"Cypess! Cypess!"

The young infirmary keeper stiffened when he heard the little one's shout, and turned to give him a slightly disapproving look. "What are you doing up so early, Chamberlain?" He asked, wagging his paw at him.

Giggling with excitement at Cypress' scolding, he rushed over to the taller creature and eagerly lifted his arms, hands grasping at the air. Hopping from foot to foot, tail flopping behind him comically, he made a soft, steady stream of chattering noises, teeth clicking occasionally. It was evident the young squirrel had a passionate desire to touch Cypress' ears. It was also evident that maybe this wasn't the first time this has happened...
"Mum has big ears!"

The young hare sighed, but leaned to pick Chamberlain up and rested him on the hip opposite his cane. "Now, if you want to be in here with me, you must take orders and listen to me well. Can you be my helper for the morning?" He asked. His voice was very stern and serious, though his lips quirked in a fond smile.

When the older creature picked him up, Chamberlain gave a cheer, little paws and claws clinging to Cypress' robes so as not to fall. If he was causing the hare any pain or discomfort, the dibbun truly wasn't aware. Thankfully, he hadn't gotten too terribly heavy, yet. Reaching up as far as he could, Chit began to gently stroke what he could reach of the soft fur of Cypress' ear, enthralled by the sensation.
"I helpa lots!" Chit insisted, nodding his head excitedly, eyes still glued on those giant ears.

Cypress chuckled and let the little one play for a moment before he set him down again. He sat at the chair beside him and leaned to look at him levelly. "Now, you know I am not so very fast, so I need your help to get these tinctures ready for our friends, okay? I know you are very fast and strong, you will do a good job. I need you to go to my cupboard, on the low shelves, and find something that smells like this, okay?" He touched his paw to a trace of powdered sage and put it out so he could smell.

When Chit was set down, he pouted a little, but Cypress started addressing him and recaptured his attention. He liked the idea of helping his enormously-eared friend, and took Cypress' paw in his small hands, giving it a sniff. The scent was pungent and distinctive to the little one's sensitive nose, and he began to make soft chattering noises as he hopped excitedly to the shelves.
It didn't take him long to sniff around and find what he was looking for, and he procured it in careful hands, returning it to Cypress as if it were the Holy Grail itself.
"Cypess! Cypess! I gotta it!"

The young healer worked quickly to move everything potentially harmful to the little creature out of plausible reach, and by the time he returned was sedately shaking a bottle to get the oils within to mix.
"Well done, you got it. Now, pull a leaf out of the bottle, please, and crunch it up really good. Then you can add it to this bottle, and I will show you what to do."
