She could vaguely picture chamomile, from Etienne’s previous teachings.  Weren’t those the white flowers with the bright yellow centers? Druid had always thought they smelled soothing when she’d come across them in the wild. Could those sweet little flowers really address both her ailments? She only remembered him describing its properties as a sleep aid.

Before Druid could ask any questions—or, much more likely, just express her gratitude—Heda appeared. Druid immediately gave her sister an apologetic look, knowing her call must’ve worried her. She beckoned the other woman closer, so they could lean against one another and she could demonstrate that she was alright: down one tooth but hopeful about the outcome now that the healer was here.

Her lips parted when Heda immediately begged Etienne to stay. Druid could see the way the request made his brow furrow. They truly could use his help but it was a lot to ask. Before she could get a word in edgewise, Etienne explained that he would have to consult with Anselm first. Druid nodded emphatically, trying not to feel like her teeth were rocking in their roots with the motion.

It’s a lot to ask of you, Etienne, and it’s entirely up to you. If you would like to stay, we could certainly use your help. And of course Anselm could always come with you, Druid added, including Heda with a glance.
