As much as Sirius tried to comfort her, it did little to ease her panic. It was only when Paladin laid it out plainly for her that she could snort faintly at her own antics, a creeping sense of shame heating her ears. Of course she should be calm... Not dashing in here like a rolled up porcupine. Her ears flattened as she nodded wordlessly, and walked over to the stack of bandages that the healer had gestured to. What even was that? When she'd fought against predators, the crocodile, the wild dogs, she'd been anxious, sure... but the feeling hadn't been like this, threatening to make her immobile. She unbound the deerskin around the head wound, breathing slowly as she carefully, but throughly cleaned the blood and grime from the open flesh. He was going to be okay, and it was just like any other wound... It was easier, honestly, to pretend it wasn't Cairo at all. She pushed the uneasiness to the back of her mind and zeroed in on her work, taking out the mortar and pestle to prepare a poultice of horsetail and honey. Once it was finished, she smeared the paste across the wound, before taking a fresh bandage and wrapping it tightly around the chocolate man's head. The girl stepped back as the madrill and the wolf lifted up her friend, eyes going slightly wide as he whined in pain. She tried to shut it out, not yet understanding that it was a good sign, but couldn't quite ward off the ripple of bad-wrong-hurt that ran through her at the sound. She gave a shuddering breath, though mostly remained silent as Paladin began to demonstrate. |
