Admittedly, Aquene felt uneasy when the woman stepped into her home, the question falling from her maw in a curious manner as Aquene turned her head and tilted it to the side with a mild curiosity. This woman was a healer? Or was she simply curious of the Matrona’s ailment? Aquene was not certain that it was her place to speak, so she left it in vague terms. “It’s an unfortunate side effect from an accident she suffered before I came to know her.” She admitted with a soft hum as she went about restocking the stores with herbs she had just managed to collect. They were difficult to find this time of year, she just prayed for an early spring.
The question of prescription was trickier depending on the woman’s own medical knowledge. “Stretches and therapy to help with mobility, scrub pine or poppy seeds for flareups, a prairie crocus poultice for any inflammation and joint, muscle, or skeletal pain that comes from the weather or overuse. Ideally I’d also give her hints of aconite root. The flower aconite itself is toxic, but small amounts of the root can help with circulation which ultimately will help her with her daily pains. Alas, I came to Mereo after the first frost, and so certain herbs I do not yet have in my stores.” She started to list off, and similar to when she had met the Lady Ruenna, Aquene almost felt like she was being tested. Perhaps that was leftover conditioning from when she was with her mother. Her mother would always ask her random questions.
