OOC: Healing - prescribed herbs for nausea!

Looking over the slight swell in Jewell's body as she lay prone on the floor of her den, Star listened to the hushed tones of Torin as he spoke, her bright jade eyes going wide and a small whimper escaped her. "Oh, Jewell...honey, I am so, so sorry you had that happen!" Looking to meet her patient's eyes, her gaze full of sympathy and tender warmth, Stardust noticed small signs of oncoming nausea. Hoping to halt the inevitable sickness that followed for a short time, the healer moved toward her underground stores and rummaged around for a bit.

Finding a single, small root that she brought with her from her home, Star chewed it in half and put a bit into a turtle shell, moving swiftly to gather water and come back. There were no hot springs, like the ones she had found on her journeys, but the water would have the taste in it. "Drink this, it will help. The root is called ginger, and eases nausea. It works better with water from hot springs, but this will help." Smiling kindly, the healer let her eyes wander down towards Jewell's swollen abdomen. With the crime committed against Jewell, she had to wonder what had caused the swelling, but that would hinge on one thing...

"Jewell...I have to ask a very personal question. Forgive the awkwardness, but...um...when the male attacked you...were you...in season?" Her tone was gentle, and carefully measured to keep the trepidation out of her sing-song voice. Though she couldn't help feeling awkward for asking.  If the male had attacked her in such a manner, and she had been in heat, the swelling in her belly could very well be the scoundrel's children. She was unsure how Torin would feel, but she could only imagine hearing about your sister's heat cycle would be unbelieveably awkward. Still, before she could go further, she would have to rule out pregnancy. With these crimes, there was always a possibility. Especially given that she had all the early warning signs of such.
