She hoped dearly that the girl would take her words to heart, and remember them - she seemed genuinely interested in healing and it was truly a blessing to be able to share her knowledge with the younger woman. She was happy to continue speak, so long as Faelyn wanted to hear more.  She knew it was a lot to take in, but it was a solid starting ground, or so she thought.
