Duskfire Glacier and the prey always believe

As difficult as it may have been for Lane to interpret Imaq's speech, the shepard seemed to understand her own well enough. She provided an answer to Lane, and then added to that answer a beat later. 

Lane laughed. 

"Yes, water and sleep! If only I could make my patients believe it." She shook her head, still chuckling a bit. 

Hydration and rest were truly the greatest and most universal remedies, but no one ever wanted to hear that. Everyone wanted a quick fix-- an herb they could swallow, or a salve they could slap on-- so they could continue to go about their business as usual. They called wolves like Lane and Imaq "healers" because they wanted to believe in the mystical power of their knowledge and abilities, but in truth, it was always the body that healed itself.
