Day 10
Who: Yvaine & Ayla
What: Healing Session
When: Mid Morning
Where: Yvaine's Room
Rating: G
Status: Finished

Ayla woke early, though it was hard to tell with the storm still raging outside. Sitting up on her bed, she looked around the dark cave. Sparse light filtered in through the singular window at the back. She'd never had a window in her cave in the valley, and that was only one of the differences between this cave and that one. Still, it was more familiar than a room such as Rusty's was to her.

She crawled to the firepit where she'd banked her fire and built it up again. She needed to make some tea for Yvaine and get it to her. The dressing on her leg probably needed to be changed as well. She would prepare everything and then take it with her to the star woman's room. She boiled willow bark and snake root for the tea. Instead of the snake root going on the outside, it was going to heal from the inside.

It would still take several weeks before it was completely healed, but Ayla was sure she would be able to walk with no problems at all. As the water for the tea boiled, she cleaned herself up and put on a new wrap. Being in a cave with a fire always made her smell a little smoky. Not unpleasant, just... outdoorsy. She plaited her long blond hair back in a single braid down her back and went back for the tea.

With soaked leather, dry gauze and tea in hand, she left her room and headed to Yvaine's second story room. She shifted everything in her arms in order to knock on the door.

Ayla nodded at the correct use of the name for the men made of earth, stone and wood. "They will help you heal faster because you are not putting so much weight on your leg. Weight puts stress on the break and makes it heal more slowly, and sometimes crookedly." Ayla spoke while she worked with re-bandaging the leg. She didn't look up much, concentrating on her task.

Ayla did look up when she began to speak of her diet, however. It was strange, the idea of eating darkness and drinking light. How could someone subsist on such a diet? But, Yvaine was different from herself. She was not a human, she was a star and she supposed that even though she looked human, it meant little. So Ayla merely nodded. "If you have need of anything, though, please do not hesitate to ask. I am more than willing to help in any way I can."

After she had finished tending to her leg, she realized that she had little need to remain in the star woman's company, but it was company that she enjoyed. Ayla didn't often have women to speak with, and she wondered if the star woman was lonely. Perhaps she would want her to stay and make conversation? She wasn't sure how to ask, though. She hesitated a moment, not getting up from her seated position just yet.
