The Sentinels Did I ask too much

Osprey regarded the leaves that according to Lucani would cure her a bit skeptically, not having much faith that whatever had to be chewed and swallowed would stay down. One quick look at their new healer told her that she should at least try - even if it was out of being polite. She smiled then and sighed resignedly: "I don't have much choice, have I? Right now I am willing to try just about anything."

She picked up the leaves, chewed them, while ignoring the bitter taste and the unusual touch against her hard palate and swallowed. There were bits and pieces that didn't go down right away, sticking to her gums and were quite annoying to get rid off, but eventually she did. "Want to take a bet, how long is it going to stay down?" she joked albeit sounding a little tired.
