Warm Tea For A Cool Evening

Drífa smiled warmly. "Mint is a good choice, its one of my favorites. Tea is an infusion of herbs in water, usually hot water. You can use water from hot springs, heat it next to a fire or just set the water with the herbs out in the sun." Drífa moved to her bag and pulled out her water skin. She carefully poured the water into a bowl for herself and one for Yurei, she then added a few springs of mint to each bowl before moving the bowls near the fire. They could chat while the water warmed up.

"Hmmm…" Drífa settled back as she considered Yurei's question. "That is difficult. With a broken limb they may not be able to put any weight on it at all. For internal injuries the area may be very tender and hurt more than expected when you push on it. Internal bleeding is very difficult. If you think a patient could be bleeding internally keep an eye on how alert they are. Pale gums and skin around the eyes could indicate significant blood loss."

Drífa hoped she gave enough information to start. There were so many possibilities when it came to injuries. "If you see a wolf lying down and they aren't moving go ahead and say hello, ask if they're ok. If they don't respond then you'll want to move forward and check for breathing and a pulse to make sure they're still alive." Drífa had come upon corpses before. Winter was especially hard on lone wolves.
