"I'll be back with herbs that may help you," She stated, before turning and running off. Wren smiled weakly and relaxed her head against the frozen-like earth, eyelids slowly relaxing over her minty gems. For a long moment as the woman was gone, the girl was thinking of Bass and Abaven. She was so glad that everyone was alright...besides Chrono, but Bass seemed to be a bit off lately. Not "off" but...depressed, maybe? Her disappearance probably didn't help that at all. Yeah---she should of told him she was leaving before she fled. It was pretty cruel of her to just disappear after all these events. But she was coming back soon! Especially now that she was getting help from this kind lady. Yes...one she got help, and once she felt she was ready to return, she would. And hopefully Bass would feel better...
Evidently, she had fallen asleep while thinking about all of this. It was a very light nap, though. So even once the sound of the woman returning reached Wren's ears, her eyes flew open and she looked up at her with exhausted eyes. A sickly expression. Although, this medic's eyes pulled her attention away from her aching body yet again. They were so pretty. And she was definitely jealous of them. "This is dandelion. If you eat the flower part it will help with your appetite. You need food for energy," Food for energy, ay? Did these herbs even count as food? Wren turned her exhausted eyes to the little dandelion, before grabbing at it gently and pulling it into her mouth. She bit the flower-area off and separated it from the stem, before chewing it bitterly and swallowing it.
It didn't taste the best. But maybe that was just her illness talking---she didn't even know. But there were further instructions, as several other herbs were displayed in front of her limp body. "These help with coughs and colds, make sure to eat some of them too." The white-faced dame eyed the berries and managed a smile. These looked a little better than the dandelion...at least she hoped they were better. "Thanks," Was all she said, before sweeping them up into her mouth and chewing on them quickly. As soon as they were all smashed, she swallowed, and huffed with relaxation. Pft, what was next, a whole bush to eat?
"Poppy seeds help ease pain and make it easier to rest. Remember to eat these last." Wren nodded miserably and slowly reached forward to suck the seeds down. The temptation to completely swallow them was horrible...but she chewed them instead, wincing to the taste and pushing them down her throat slowly. Then, she eyed the empty space before her and snorted. No more to eat...no more. She rested her head back and released a loud, exhausted sigh, before curling her body in and shutting her eyes for a moment. She completely forgot about the large black woman for almost a whole minute. She was too busy sulking about how nasty she felt. "Oh! I'm sorry, I-I nearly just fell asleep on you. Thank you so much for helping me...if there was something I could do to repay you right now...I would definitely do it," Wren frowned and shut her eyes. "But I'm a bit weak at the moment, obviously."
