little shadow's bed and breakfast

He was becoming a better patient. She wasn't sure if it was the drugs or the overall progress of his wounds healing, but she would take the improvement either way. "Well, I'm using chamomile and ginger for the main component of your poultice, and the ginger is probably why it stings. It's a spicy little plant," she murmured, trying to teach him just a little bit about what she was doing. Most patients became a little more amenable when they were more involved with their treatment, and she hoped Oxide was the same.

As he moved closer to her, Eris curled around his head. She was more than glad to provide the physical affection he seemed to be craving, even as it surprised her. To the Ademre, your body was something you gave freely: either to satisfy your urges, to comfort a loved one, or to fight for your people. Eris would gladly provide him what comfort she could; it was the least she could do, she owed him her life twice over. It was a debt he could claim for the rest of his days, and she would pay gladly.

"Okay, honestly... just give me two more days. By then you will have decent scab coverage and should be able to walk. You'll be stiff, and the wounds might seep, but you won't open them with every step. Just two days, okay?" Eris pleaded. "I'm not that terrible, am I?" She teased, although she could tell that something darker was plaguing him. There have been times after she'd ingested too much cannabis that she had frightful anxiety and couldn't seem to shake off a distant paranoia that everyone was going to leave her. Was he experiencing negative side effects? So lost in her own body high, she hadn't given thought to it.

"Oh... well, the sign for..." Eris trailed off, leaning down to press her muzzle to the top of his head. They had switched positions now from how they had fallen asleep last night - she was cradling him. Quickly, Eris signed the Ademic for desperation on the top of his head. It was one long, hard press, followed by two quick taps. You could almost get the sense of the emotion just from the sign. "Just... relax, try and focus on the herb is making your body feel. It helps to get out of your own head," she whispered quietly, in reply to his own quiet words. Their hushed speaking was strangely more intimate than she was used to - it made her sweat, just a little bit. The feeling was new and strange, and the little female couldn't quite place it. "Tell me what each one of your paws feels like. Let's start there."

"Speech."
