Ferra's blush deepened as she turned her face away to scowl. "Because I was curious about things I shouldn't have been and being too nosy. And maybe you can help me take it back and we can find a better book at the library." The jumbled words D'io mentioned didn't make sense to her, maybe he just hadn't been taught well? She thought about asking him more when the healer came to interrupt her thoughts.
As much as she hadn't wanted to be picked up and carried away or even really meet D'io to begin with, Ferra found herself glad that he was offering to stay as the healer poked and prodded and examined her knee. She managed to avoid whimpering too much, instead squeezing D'io's hand in hers with much more strength than any of her feeble hits had held as the healer suddenly gave her leg a yank and straightened it with a pop.
The gasp that escaped her was both one of pain and of instantaneous relief as the searing throb in her knee faded to an ache that was much more manageable. Some numbweed and a bit of wrapping around the joint to keep it supported and the healer declared her good to go for now, but made her promise to come back should the pain get any worse. Stubbornly Ferra took a few tentative steps on her own, and while it was slow and sore it was doable. She looked back up at D'io, face flushing again as she mumbled softly. "Thank you for your help and for staying. I'm going to go return this book now, you can come if you want and maybe we can pick out a better book to read."
