Iðunn had paused for a brief moment at her cousins partial joking tone, a thought in the back of her mind to purposefully be rougher than she needed to and really test the fiery woman's words. But no, she souldn't do that, not today, not after Sanngriðr had been thoughtful enough to carry the lynx corpse all the way back so she could inspect it. Her cousin got a free pass today for that, but just barely. She felt the woman begin to squirm beneath her, but as she made no attempt tp move away, Iðunn simply clicked her tongue softly as a reminder to stay still as she continued to work. She spared a glance at Sanngriðr at the question, before getting to work at pressing the poultice into the wounds on her thighs as she spoke. "It's a poultice to not only keep the wounds clean and covered to protect from outside infection, but also to assist in the natural healing process. The weird smell is just the scent of the herbs, but it's useful in keeping flies and bugs at bay to not irritate the wounds while they heal." Iðunn worked quickly, the shallower wounds taking much less time to properly dress, and by the time her cousin spoke up again she was finished. She sat back, wiping her front paws on the grass beneath them to clean most of the remaining poultice off, before moving over to inspect the lynx again. Quite roughly, she snapped off a chunk of crystal that extended from one of its ears and held it up to her face, eyes squinting as she looked over it. It seemed... quite normal, if not for the fact it looked as if it was growing from within the ears, as well as a strange type of ooze that seemed to stem from where it grew out of. "I've never seen this before..." she said with a soft hum, squeezing he crystal between her toes so it crumbled slightly. Iðunn then dropped the crystal, and positioned the lynx so it was on its back and gave her complete access to its breast and abdomen. "If you help hold it still, I'll slice it open to see if the crystals are inside the body as well." If they were then she wouldn't risk eating it at all, but if the innards seemed free of any strange growths or ooze then perhaps it would be safe enough to eat. Or she could simply test it's edibility on Róta, as she was sure her younger cousin would happily eat it regardless. |
