You Come Here Often?

The bleeding was beginning to slow as she worked. She could see the clotting beginning to form with the aid of the cobwebs, but she wasn't entirely confident he was in the clear yet until his voice pulled her gaze away from his wounds for a moment. The relief on Elias' face was more than obvious and that was more than enough for her. She sighed quietly with relief as she looked back down at the man's wounds and smoothed the cobwebs over the edges. It was good enough for her to start pulling out some of the other herbs for the time being and she turned away for a moment to see Daelos' handiwork. She wished that they had their full stock of herbs at her disposal, but that just wasn't the case. She took the dandelion root and marshmallow that her daughter had separated out and began to chew them so that she could apply them to the wounds before she sealed them up. Placing the mixture back onto the piece of leather for the time being she turned back to look at the man, seeing that he had attempted to move and had managed to settle with his legs under him. She frowned and the only thing keeping her from reprimanding him and telling him to lay back down was his forced apology and the fact that Elias was hurrying toward him holding something. She ignored them for a moment while she checked the bite wounds to make sure nothing had come loose in his move. Luckily the cobwebs were quite sticky when wet so she only had to press one part near the edge back into place. Her ear flicked toward Elias' voice when he spoke and she glanced toward him out of the corner of her eye - her head snapping up when she realized he was bleeding from one of his forelegs. She had been so focused on her task that she had missed much of the activity leading up to this moment. Her ears flicked back and she had to force herself not to intervene once again. She felt a bit like a mother telling children to be careful and not hurt themselves during a rough game. It was obvious from Elias' words that it was much more than that, which was why she remained quiet, but part of her wanted to insist that making this man bleed any more than he already had was a terrible idea. She frowned and turned back to her herbs, taking a few of the wintergreen leaves from the pile and moved to stand next to the injured man's head for a moment. She sat the potent leaves to the side for a moment, instead reaching toward Elias to take a bit of the now largely depleted ball of cobwebs he had gathered between her teeth. She reclined back onto her haunches a couple of feet away, watching and waiting for them to finish so she could quickly patch up this new cut so the blood loss could be as minimal as possible. Her mind running too quickly to fully understand what was happening in this moment. She would have to process all of that later. For now she was only focused on her task as a healer. |
