Dessa took in the choppy information with a neutral expression, stopping by the head of her horse so she could see the woman in front of her without swooping in and getting in her face. She was rather anxious to take a look at the wound and do what she could for it, but she wasn’t oblivious to the warring sides before her; “You’re not imposing.” Dessa said gently, offering a small smile once more. “It is my pleasure to help.” She paused and considered for a moment. “I was going to offer you to ride with me, before I saw you were injured.”
Stepping forward a few steps, Dessa held her hands out, showing the clean bandages she’d dug up, and the small back of herbs. “I don’t have any fellis,” she said gently, “but I have some numbweed and some other things that will fight off any infection. Can I help you?” The girl was determined to see her mother tended to, but the woman seemed to be just as determined not to be approached. That was okay, Dessa wasn’t off put by difficult customers, she’d dealt with her share of them over the Turns, but she didn’t want to push her too much, either.
“Its no trouble,” she added, eyebrows pulled together almost anxiously. How could she leave them now, knowing they were in need of her help?
Fellis is a painkilling drink, similar to ibuprofen, and can render a patient unconscious if too much is taken. It is likely that it could be dangerous in extreme amounts.
Numbweed is a plant that is native to Pern. It is boiled into a salve and applied to wounds, completely numbing the area; anaesthetic in nature. It is cheap and easily come by, so most everyone has had access to it in life, though quality would be dictated by location and available funds.
