Goin' and goin' and goin' and goin' and go

Lucette

Eden spoke, offering gentle but helpful advice. She wasn’t wrong, it was hard to see the differences between a friend and a patient. She hadn’t been able to stay calm at all… and though Bae had remained calm that time what if she broke down like that again when she was treating him? She needed to be strong, to show her strength for both of them. She couldn’t let her feelings get involved until the treatment was done… easier said than done, she was sure, but it would help her if she could master it in the long run.

She knew Eden was right about life and death too… even in Foi the two twins of life worked hand in hand with the twins of death. They could not exist without each other, but the idea of losing Bae… she drew in a breath. It was okay to worry and be afraid, she told herself. But everything had a time and a place. Breaking down while she was treating him wouldn’t help either of them. Stressing about it now wasn’t necessarily good either. She tried to reign herself in, focusing instead on Eden’s next answer.

She said yes! That made Lucette feel a little bit better. She knew as a soon-to-be mother though that Eden’s duty was to her children. She respected that. “I’ll do that then, Eden. Until next time, be well, and may you give birth to some healthy little ones.” She smiled after the woman. She watched Eden head back toward the border before she turned around, searching out Ink. The feline was over near some marigold - ah, a good plant for insect bites and stings. She padded over the kodkod as her smile widened. “Having fun?’ The feline had rolled onto her back, enjoying the sunlight.

“Yes.” Ink purred happily before swiping at the air. Lucy chuckled, looking around to take note of any other important herbs in the area. She made a mental note of yarrow, something that could be used to reduce bleeding from a minor wound, as well as a small, leafy green plant she wasn’t sure of the name of. If her father had been there he’d have been able to tell her it was watercress. With a hum, she figured she’d linger a little longer to discover what herbs she could before returning back to the range with a plan to grab the ones she knew of.
