The Usual (Post-Raid Healing)

Rudy had bolted from the castle, telling her that there was a raid and to stay safe. In the whirlwind of activity, Fern had watched him go, wishing she could join him in battle. Fear seizes her heart as she remembers finding Rudy by the river… bloody and hurt. Shaking her head to dispel the dismal thoughts, Fern sets out to the infirmary, determined to help in any way she can. Slipping in quietly, the gray girl looks around, ready to lend a helping paw with the healers. While she may not have the aptitude for healing, she has picked up some tricks of the trade. Fern sends up a silent thank you to her mother, Meadow. Joining Iolaire and the other healers, Fern listens intently as Io’s instructs them on what she wants bundled.

With a dip of her head, Fern moves over to a small table to start packing items. Heaving a sigh, ocean hued eyes search for the herbs Iolaire had wanted. A small reddish-brown paw sticks up over the edge of the table, offering Fern the exact herbs she needs. Smiling, the gray girl takes the plants from Puff’s small paw, placing them in pack. Everyone works together, reading for the influx of patients that are sure to arrive. Fern checks and rechecks everything, asking Iolaire for help or instructions when she needs them. All she can do is wait… and hope that no one is hurt horribly.
