Our Salve-ation [Healer's Circle]

[Set before Cai’s fall off the mountain]

He sat out in the widest area of the ravine; his supplies spread out on a buckskin. Several sets of mortar and pestles were arrayed, along with various herbs, honey, and other things for salve making. With the influx of wolves who double as healers, he had enough to have a full group lesson going.

Everyone would benefit from today, and so he howled for the Healer’s Circle and waited, tail flipped over his paws as he sat on the sandy ground, watching the ravine with those eyes so like his mother’s. Hopefully, they would come quickly, and the lesson wouldn’t be disrupted by those thinking they could pick and choose what things they would learn. A healer might specialize in one facet, but they should always have a well-rounded education. One never knew what they might encounter where their services would be needed.

Kayode and Ime sat to one side, occupying themselves with prep-work unrelated to the lesson, gathering water to boil over the fire for teas.
