pride and fear

The woman laying prone on the mattress looked defeated, but the badger was plucky and full of information, introducing them both. Bowen couldn't help but smile softly. This little badger reminded her somewhat of Boogie, her opossum companion that was lost when she'd been stolen by the slavers. "Good to meet you, Mel. Laeta." She addressed them both. Copper ears shifted forward as the badger spoke of needing something for his mistresses pain. Bowen took a step further into the room, positioning herself so that the obsidian fae could lay eyes upon her without having to try and move. Again Bowen smiled, the corners of her wide, emerald eyes lifting. She could imagine how the woman felt, unable to move, unable to care for herself. "Laeta, my rooms are just next door to yours. Any time, day or night, send Mel to me and I'll get you whatever you need." The smile remained. "We're packmates now. We have to work together, right?" Casting her viridian pools to Mel, Bowen gave a nod. "I'll return shortly."

Leaving the room, Bowen moved through the halls towards the infirmary where she conferred with Gwynevere, informing her sister of the pain that the new woman was in. Gwyn sent Bo back with a sack of herbs for the woman complete with pain relievers and blends that would ease muscle pain. After thanking her sister, Bowen took the satchel of herbs and moved back up to the higher level of the castle.

Moving into the room once more, Bowen offered the sack of remedies to Mel. "Per Gwynevere, the liquid in the bottle will help with muscle pain and tension and the herbal blend should be taken with food and will help relieve pain." She was sure to add, "Just a few drops of the liquid onto the tongue at a time. The herbs can be taken twice a day." Hopefully they would help the woman. The small fae gave her crown a tilt. "Is there anything else that you need, Laeta? More cushions? More furs?"
