“I just cleaned that one yesterday, so I’d hope it would be soft, hon. Dyrstie, sweetie, can you keep watch on the fish for me?†Catharine replied as she shooed the Roegadyn away.
Embarrassment and indignation showed on his face at being treated like a child in the presence of someone else, but his hunger overrode any feelings to protest her management. He sat down at the stove and watched the fish hungrily as Catharine calmly trotted over to her patient. She stood over Arulaq’s face and smiled warmly at him before getting started. Without any warning, she immediately lifted up his robe up past his hips so she could get at the wound.
“Oh, don’t worry, sweetheart. This is hardly a scratch; I’ll get it fixed up real quick-like.â€
Dyrsteyn had bled a lot more than she would have wanted and it had left her pair of cotton gloves still soaking in a basin with a sanitizing herbal solution. She had a habit of washing her hands very well and she worked better bare handed, so she figured the Xaela would be fine enough.
