Should Have Been Drowned

The woman treating her was kind and worked well under pressure, not that Reila was bleeding out or anything more lethal. This wasn't the first time she had broken a bone or been treated for other things and she had seen the many different personalities of her healer slaves.

She mostly avoided eye contact with both the woman and the brute, but it was more so out of habit and not so bluntly awkward. Her gaze remained towards the furs or her leg, but it wasn't like she was scared of either one of them.

The way she responded may have suggested she had gone through something similar, exposing the broken leg and putting it in the position the healer woman needed, she didn't have to ask. She still stayed silent but was complaisant to every step she gave her. When Chimera finally came over to get her leg set, she grabbed hold of the piece of leather Aliana offered her through her teeth. When the brute put the pressure down on her leg, she whined a little sharply at first but her noises turned into grunts as she bit into the leather strap and forced herself to stay quiet still in the presence of others.
