Jade Fern Grove his heart was trapped in a cage

he applies the poultice, and she bears the hurt easily enough. it's certainly not as bad as the initial fall, though the latter she was blotted from her memory and not entirely of her own accord. she offers a smile none the less when he approves her poultice, though wariness prickles in her as he moves to apply the rest of the poultice, and her mins slips to fragments of memory, of a man a great deal larger than the boy and the entirely disconcerting resemblance to the void. she'd glad, then, that he takes a step back, but does not show it, or at least tries to. 

when he faces her, she rises, and gratitude mixes with the wariness in a way she does not like in the least. "I'm Vuk." she offers in turn, adding, "thank you - if I meet you again, I'll figure out a way to repay you, promise." she's certain that she will, somehow. while she's pretty much useless now, she figures the Teekon can't be that big, can it?
