Blackfeather Woods Advice for the young at heart

Meldresi strode with the regal confidence a ruler had in their lands, though she waddled slightly as the weight in her womb grew. She barely looked back to see if the younger female was following; she knew for a fact that she was. They walked together in silence as they closed in on Ilinalta's Keep, her medicine store and infirmary, only broken by their footsteps. As the Keep's outside entrance came into sight, Nemesis spoke, asking if she could repay her for her remedy.

"This is my job, Nemesis," She said without pausing, slipping as best she could into the entrance. Getting in there would be troublesome with her growing size. "You can repay me by doing your job and helping the pack and nothing more. That is all I can ask." The Night Queen gestured for Nemesis to sit down in the small cavern that she designated as the infirmary, the cave floor covered in soft bedding: moss, fur, and the like. She walked into her store, easily picking out what herbs she wanted without pause, taking enough to sustain the female for a few months, perhaps enough to last the winter.

She wrapped the herbs in a thick, waxy leaf before she headed back to the waiting female, dropping the parcel in front of her. "Chamomile, juniper berries, lavender, thyme, poppy seeds." She pointed to each stack of herbs in quick succession. "Tear off a small bit, no more than a quarter, of each of the leaves and put them in a pile. Smash them into a pulp, then place one or two poppy seeds into the pulp and swallow it." With the stack she gave her, she should be fine until late winter, and even then her dosage may be reduced. "Do this every night until you feel a change in your state of mind. Then do it every two nights. If you are having trouble sleeping, take three poppy seeds. If that does not work, come to me." She hoped this would work for her, though she trusted in her own remedy, her earthly powers were nothing compared to the Daedric. "Do you understand?"
