Somewhere to belong

Lia finished her examination by the time Haydee had downed the last of the tea. The poor, exhausted woman slumped back down again, worn out. Lia stepped back, and came around to Eltrys to talk to the tawny wolf. “We need to keep her fluids up, she’ll need to drink the tea daily, which means you're going to need a lot more supply. I'm prescribing daily, the tea as well as a broth of meat to ensure she’s eating enough, and smoke from the eucalyptus oil. This, and time, are all we can do for her right now.” She said, keeping her voice gentle. She knew Eltrys was worried. She needed to see how Haydee responded to her treatment before she made any announcements on which way Haydee’s health would go.

She let out a soft breath, and steeled herself for what she would say next. “If you need herbs, I have - or had - friends in two places I could try. But it’s been a long time since I’ve been to either.” And she wasn’t sure she was ready to go back.
