Talking About Ouchie Bleedies

*Gavroche* · 01-20-2023, 11:23 PM

Gavroche waited, watching his son’s movements, trying to read his thought process. He knew that chewing on the bark wasn’t necessarily pleasant, but not all aspects of being a healer were necessarily fun or enjoyable. He had always enjoyed learning aspects about herbs, and their uses, but putting some of it into practice was less enjoyable. He remembered the first time he’d needed to tend to a wound… and when tending to someone you cared about it was always harder. But Gav believed in his son and had faith that Dorian would be a master of both skills: Fighting and healing. A bit of both his mother and father.

His son took the bark into his mouth and Gavroche gave a slow nod as he noticed Dorian grimace. “The strongest medicines tend to not taste very good, I know.” Once the mixture was ready, Dorian applied it. Then his son leaned back, examining his work. Gavroche grinned. “A job well done. With a bigger wound, you can spit out more of the saliva that built up. It’ll be less messy the more you have to spread out the mixture. Once you’ve gotten this far with smaller wounds you shouldn’t really need to worry about them. Once the poultice dries up it’ll fall off in time on its own. And with bigger wounds you’ll check the progress of the healing when it does, recleaning and applying a poultice as needed.”

Gavroche reached out and nosed his son’s cheek. “Though I’m hoping we won’t need to deal with anything like that for a long time.” He chuckled softly. “Now why don’t we go for a walk? That was a bit of a lengthy lesson, but you saw it through to the end. I’m proud of you son.”
