Whilst you could argue that her hunting skills had been tested, she had begun to learn to hunt from a young age unlike healing. Both were certainly useful skills though unless you or those around you were disastrously accident prone then healing wasn't a skill you were likely to use anywhere near as often as hunting. Novella was now starting to feel though that perhaps she should have begun to learn these things at a slightly younger age, there was quite a lot to take in and she had barely begun her lessons at all.
She would give a nod of her head at her mother's answer, once more quietly attempting to absorb the information she had been given. Another question would soon follow though this time a small smile would cross Novella's muzzle as she responded with a cheeky confidence. "Clean it." It was the order that Novel had just given her after all.
"After that though, apply the herbs." She was a little more serious again now, knowing full well what her mother had meant really. There was a slight pause however as she tried to recall the name of the plant, Novel hadn't listed too many but still Novella wished to use the right name and right effect for them. "Horsetail, apply it to the wound to bind it. Periwinkle and Trillium to help stop it getting infected." The slightly uncertain tone had returned now she was trying to go into more detail.
