Careful It’s Carnivorous

The look Irilyth received from Relm was read loud and clear. Do not push her boundaries. Irilyth averted her raspberry optics from Relm’s and simply proceeded with what was expected of her. The pink woman snapped back abruptly that she didn’t need any contraceptives and the sandy servant woman flinched back, a reflex developed from a lifetime of expecting a sudden strike accompanied by the curt words. It never came though, so she relaxed again and nodded. "Understood, miss." Relm obviously did not want her to treat her further, and while the healer was deeply concerned for her physical state beyond the noticeable wounds, it was ultimately none of her business.

Just as Irilyth began to pack up her medicines and supplies again, Relm spoke, albeit somewhat hesitantly, as if she were physically struggling to get the words out. What she did eventually say shocked Irilyth, but beyond a surprised flutter of her eyelids, the blonde fae gave no reaction. Again, it was none of her business. Relm’s incestuous origin did bring up questions about her health and other underlying conditions, but there was one more pressing in her mind. "Um, y-yes, any virile male would be able to impregnate a female, especially one in heat," she began to explain, averting her gaze so as not to make the moment more awkward than it felt for both of them. "There may be some additional… difficulties with mixing familial blood, but it is possible." Relm was living proof of that fact.

Without asking any further questions or needing prompting from Relm, Irilyth returned to her medicines and fished out another extract of silphium. With the sexual encounter so recent, she wouldn’t need something as strong as the Queen Anne’s lace extract she’d used before to prevent pregnancy. She placed the bottle of clear liquid down near Relm, then slid back away again. "Just in case, if you want." She couldn’t smell anything on the girl, so she didn’t think her attacker had reached climax, but she didn’t want to take any chances with implied incest puppies on the table. Whether Relm took the contraceptive then and there or took it with her to the privacy of her own den, Irilyth dismissed her with a simple nod before returning to her work distilling more medicines for the band.
