More Than A Little While

“yes” the young man replied as the boy introduced himself as Alarr Imperialis. No pack was given as a source of origin, but he suspected by the scent of the boy he did belong to one. But one he was not aware of really. “Holland, no last name, of Lirim” he added in, raising a brow as Alarr set to work right away with his herbs. He let the boy work, content to allow him to place the poultice he knew was full of herbs he also knew on him. the cat went off to collect the boneset, and Holland gave a nod as he was asked to apply to the boy’s back. “I used to fight. Not anymore. But I guess I didn’t lose it.” sometimes you can’t run from your past, no matter how hard you try.

When the boneset was presented to him, Holland set to work himself. The yarrow was already working, to be honest, and if this boy was his apprentice back in Lirim, the healer would grunt a ‘good job’. He rarely let other healers work on him when he could do it himself, but the shoulder was stiff and throbbing. The wound higher up on him than he could reach too, so he begrudgingly let the boy work on him. as the paste hardened, he ground up the boneset and applied it to Alarr’s back. he wanted to use the same technique. He didn’t want to do a piss-poor job but he also knew that supplies were limited. He would not use the boy’s. Holland would use his own saliva to wet the herb to a paste before applying it.

Spreading it on Alarr’s back, he had a silent agreement to his words. “packs will be forced to abandon their homes” it had happened with Lirim already, but the boy didn’t need to know that “and compete in closer quarters. As a healer… all I can do is fix them up. If they’re stupid enough to fight” He grumbled darkly, wanting everyone to just get along during these hardened times. He had also been forced to abandon most of his herb stock to carry simple items like lamb’s ear and yarrow; universal plants with many useful uses. The eruption had also woken up bears, it would seem. That was also lovely to know. “and the prey… most of them in hibernation right now.” He sighed as he recalled the season. Not many herds around right now, combined with smaller animals going into hibernation… it would be a bumpy ride.
