Sitting here wishing

She couldn't help but let out a small chuckle as Bright noticed her looking at her leg, Amalia was a very observant woman and there was little that she missed. It wasn't hard to realize that the dame was in pain, but the tiny woman was not going to push the matter. It would come up when the other woman was comfortable, seeing her react with shyness made her not want to scare her away. Ama was nothing if not patient! She would wait all day if she had too, unless she thought that she was in too much pain for her own good. If she had to guess though, it was a strain. But she wouldn't know until she got a closer look at it. The pale woman saw the embarrassment in her eyes, and she shook her shoulders, trying to just push it away. She didn't care if Bright Moon had been afraid of her, it was kind of scary to deal with someone with as much energy as she had! Amalia knew that it was a bit off putting to others at times, even though it hurt her heart she understood. Everyone was different, right? Ama didn't mind in the least.

When the taller woman turned towards her so that she could look at the injury better, Amalia rose to her paws and slowly closed the distance between them. She nuzzled the woman's shoulder with affection before she felt down the limb. It was swollen around the ankle, puffy and filling with fluid. The woman pressed softly against it, being as gentle as she could as she felt for a break. When nothing was felt, she pulled back and let out a soft hum. Yes, a sprain for sure. It was going to be a bit painful for her to put weight on it, but it wasn't that bad of an injury. She had no doubt that recovery would be fast, if she listened to her words.

The russet faced woman looked up when the silver woman spoke, laughing at the uncertainty in the others voice. "Good! Yes, poppy seeds are good for pain, if you are in any. They can also make you very sleepy, and its careful not too take too many. Are you in that much pain?" she asked, blue eyes gazing at her silver ones. When she said lavender she nodded slowly, trying to push away her doubts. "Lavender is a very useful herb, its great for relaxation. If you were in distress of flailing around, it would be great to keep you calm while I assessed the injury. Good job Bright, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself! You know more than a lot of wolves do, and I would love to teach you more." When the woman asked to hear what she would prescribe, she leaned back and sat on her rump, eyeing the back leg. "Well, staying off it is going to be key. You won't be able to put too much pressure on the limb for a little bit, but its important not to rest it for too long. As soon as you feel ready, and the swelling has gone down, some light stretching would be good. Chewing up and putting some dandelion root on the limb will help with the inflammation, and putting something cold on the muscle will help it as well. Thankfully there is a lot of snow around!" she said with another giggle, a large grin on her coloured face.
