Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Breccan neither expected nor needed any thanks from Talian. The moment his request was out of his mouth she was gone, forgetting about his presence as totally as he forgot about hers. Redwort was an obvious solution, for its antiseptic properties, but she'd spent plenty of time stocking the cupboards here with other remedies. Moving quickly, she snagged redwort with one hand even as her other flickered across labeled bottles. She dismissed most of those that had to be taken internally; the girl was thrashing and seemed incoherent, which made her rather doubt she'd want to sit for a quiet cup of tea. Besides, most of those would need to be boiled or steeped. No time now.
Fellis was another obvious choice, and one of the more immediate ones. She had several candidates in mind for an antiseptic poultice, but that would come after Talian's bit. Stepping back to the Master with a solution of redwort and the small bottle of fellis, she noticed vaguely that most of the chatter had stopped, with only a few people remaining in the room. Good. That would make it easier on Jada, she guessed. Her own general lack of a bedside manner was one of the biggest reasons she'd gone into herbology rather than a specialty that required direct patient care. She wouldn't have considered getting everyone out of the room until someone bumbled into her.
Her eyes moved to the suppurating wounds along the girl's arms, wondering when she'd gotten them, before she recalled that she'd been attacked at the Hatching. Her own wounds were healing nicely, a pair of shallow slashes on her face. Some of the scabs were already falling off to reveal sensitive pink skin, but there was no evidence of any healing activity on Jada's arms. What kind of ninny didn't deal with something like that? Her eyes narrowed, and she very nearly lost the temporary hold she had over her emotions. A moron had Impressed Gold. Awesome.
Talian puncturing a sac of pus brought her nicely back to the present, and as the natural drainage slowed, she sluiced redwort into the wound by slow degrees, flushing what remained in the area. She briefly caught a reference to a 'pretty blonde' and glanced up, faintly amused, to meet the eyes of the shaggy-haired man holding Jada down. A very small smile played on her lips as she went back about her business; professionalism was key, but every girl liked to hear they were pretty once in a while.
Back to business, she kept an eye on Jada, and the moment the girl screamed again, she took the opportunity to neatly toss two drops of undiluted fellis into the wide-open mouth. It would doubtless taste terrible, but it would do the job, inebriating her without knocking her out. Fellis wasn't quite as good for pain as numbweed, but that wouldn't come until the end, and no one wanted to hear all that screaming. As Talian moved on to another area, she moved smoothly behind him, patiently rinsing the thick pus from whatever he pierced. Her mind was already racing ahead, and she beckoned another healer over and asked for a kettle of hot water. Even if they couldn't get a tea in her, some of the plants functioned better in the body if they were steeped first.
