The Art of Healing

Walk | Talk | Think

Mercianne blinked with a moment of candid surprise as the black and white healer answered her question. Now? She suddenly felt ill prepared, unready and nervous about setting off on her new course. Shouldn't there have been time enough for her to wrap her mind around this new fact, to get ready for what she would need to know? But what could she honestly do to prepare, she wondered, having no prior knowledge and no one aside from Asheni to ask? Either way, she was going to have to jump right in with no knowledge or know how there to help her. But Asheni did not seem the type to penalize her for such a slight. She seemed patient and generous and willing to teach her everything she knew. So the creamy white wolf allowed a slow breath to slip from her muzzle as she listened to the wolf continue to speak, accepting that she needed to learn and there was no better time than the present.

But was still no less embarrassing that she had to tell Asheni she was starting from scratch. Her ears tucked against her head timidly as she lowered it a fraction, an almost apologetic smile slipping upon her face. "No, I don't," she answered quietly, hoping that her enthusiasm to learn and Asheni's skills would help her remedy that problem fairly swiftly.
