Games at the border

Two children up against another dog attack at the border. She could feel the grey hairs beating away the black. "You be sure to tell your father that they were back again." Having wild dogs around just wouldn't do. "They need to be dealt with permanently." What if they had come upon Asla while she was out alone? The girl was tough, but she was no fighter, especially against a pack of dogs.

Malalia spoke, explaining what she'd done for the wounds on Mort and Iolaire nodded in approval. "Well done. Quick thinking." She praised the girl before heading to Mort to inspect what had been done. His wounds weren't bad so she would leave the poultice upon them. Going to his wing, she gently manipulated the bones within, feeling for any breaks. There were none. "Just a sprain. You should work to strengthen the muscles in your wings. Daily exercises." She gave Mort a gentle pat on the head. "You'll be fine though."

Going to Malalia, she inspected the wounds on the young woman's shoulder and haunch. "Not terribly deep. You both were lucky." Going into the cottage, she collected squares of skin, water and a salve. Coming back out, she used the skin and water to gently clean the wounds. Once they were free from dog saliva and blood, she smeared on a coating of the salve. "Honey, ground willow bark, turmeric and limestone powder." She informed the girl of the ingredients. "With a touch of basil to mask the strange smell."
