Wheeling Gull Isle blue heart of the ocean jewel

She gritted her teeth in sympathy, lips pulled back in a frown. "That sucks," she said, meaning it. Maegi was silent a moment, thinking. Comfrey for broken bones, that was the best stuff. . .but she was stuck on a painkiller for the girl. Sure, she could revisit the tried and true poppy seeds, but they addled the mind as well as the body. No, there must be something else. . .

Celandine. Maegi had overheard Hemlock mentioning that celandine was good for pain, and had less detrimental side effects than poppies. Yellow flowers, the healer had said, and she remembered seeing yellow flowers not far from where she knew a patch of comfrey was. In fact, it wasn't so far from the tunnels, at all. Her eyes lit up with the plan.

"Wait here," Maegi said excitedly, dipping her muzzle in an awkward fashion before skirting away, up and out of Fellglow Keep. She found the comfrey soon enough, and grasped a good clump, then she headed to the yellow, and took some of those flowers and leaves, as well. After gathering a respectable pile, big enough to do the job but small enough still for her to carry between her jaws, Maegi trotted back down to the caves, coming to a halt before the girl.

She started to chew the comfrey into a paste. "Can I put this on your ankle?" Maegi asked, looking up at her. "It will help mend the bone." Beside her, the celadine rested, lying in wait.
