Arddra nodded, understanding many illnesses could have similar symptoms. It made sense as she would feel pain and headaches when she was due for her menses and the one time she did develop a head cold she had similar aches and pains. When he lifted his shirt, her eyes widened slightly till she realized he was just getting the little blue firelizard out from underneath to cradle in his hands. She wondered if it was hurt.
"Fosorcim did mention his gut burned," Arddra looked away from the little blue firelizard to T'lian's face again. "The wound had healed, there was only a small scar but he had insisted it felt like his stomach was on fire. That was before he started to become delirious...if only I had not waited so long." Arddra didn't know if that would have helped.
T'lian's comment about a healer may not have been able to help her husband even if she had brought one earlier did ease her sense of guilt a little. The rest of his assessment wasn't encouraging but did confirm what she feared. Her husband wouldn't have survived even if she had not been kidnapped. Then she wuld have been a widow, with no children after three turns of marriage. She doubted she would have been able to find another husband. Not a happy life in her mind, to be forever alone. If only there was a way for her to confirm she was a widow, it would make it that much easier to completely embrace the life she had here.
"I suspected for some time now that my husband wouldn't have survived, but it is easier to accept knowing there is a likelihood even if I had been able to get to a healer it wouldn't have mattered. If the only thing a healer could have done was give him something for the pain." Arddra felt her eyes burn but didn't want to break down into tears in front of the healer. Looking for a distraction she spied the firelizard cradled in T'lian's hands which reminded her of the other firelizard who was carrying a sachet of herbs. Firelizards can deliver things..
"Firelizards, they can be trained to deliver and fetch things," Arddra stated, suddenly realizing she could use them to deliver messages if her guess was correct. Biting her lip she wondered if she should even bring it up to the Healer then remembered he was from Fort and was taken just as she had been. "Can they go somewhere far away Between like dragons can?"
