Ásvor narrowed her eyes and focused. Often trying to piece together a diagnosis was like a puzzle, though rarely were all the pieces right there in front of her. Usually it was a mystery that couldn't be solved perfectly, and this particular case was no exception. The boy admitted his mother's mind wasn't her own. She'd attacked his other mom. Fortunately, having a wife, Ásvor was far less confused by his explanation than another wolf might be. She merely nodded as he explained as much as he could about the situation.

Or going on a trip - which it sounded like her brain was already doing naturally - so either way it was a safe bet for an inexperienced healer to give to a patient, with relatively few risks. "It should calm her down and help ease any pain she's feeling." If we can find some, that is...
