Malalia chuckled lightly at his story, though her eyes were entirely focused on the boy's wound. Imagining his whole face covered in bees... that was funny.
The yearling frowned at the wound, and looked over at her patient, trouble clouding her gaze. "Welp, I have some bad news...." She could only hold the expression for a few more heartbeats before cracking a grin. "....Joking. You're gonna be fine." It wasn't a scratch, but it was easy to see the wound wasn't serious either, and certainly not unlike the injuries that she had dealt with before.
Malalia twisted around and pulled free a clean square of doeskin that she'd tucked behind the bracelet on her hindleg. Before, she might've used moss, but Iolaire had disabused her of that method in favor of the cleaner, and easier to use patches that she collected. She had carried them with her since... although one of these days she would need to get a proper purse to store things. The honey was just another example.
With the doeskin, she cleaned the blood and grime away, gently but thoroughly, and then discarded the patches. Malalia applied the paste generously, beginning at the bottom edge and laying the paste upward, making sure that it was completely covered. The honey worked well here, and the paste showed no signs of dripping or sloughing away.
Finished with her work, she paced back, her eyes sliding from the patched wound over to Cai. "Thanks for playing the patient. How does it feel?" she asked in turn.
