K'zhumi let the channel flicker and die out, her chin dropping to her chest, eyes closing in weariness. Heaving a deep sigh, she opened her eyes and inspected her work, well pleased with what she saw. The swelling had been greatly reduced and much of K'luha's skin was it's natural color.Â
Her eyes fell on K'tahjha and she smiled. The youngster had sat curled in that tiny space by her aunt for a couple of bells without complaint. Zhumi gestured at Tahj,"Step carefully around to her head, mind the lines, and take hold under Luha's arms."Â As the child did as she was told, Zhumi carefully palpated the hip with a frown. The bone had been out of place for too long and was trying to knit there. She thought briefly at calling for her sister for the extra strength, but decided her patient's dignity had been offended enough.
Taking hold of the leg just above the knee, Zhumi began twisting slightly listening and feeling for the crunching noise that told her the minute connections were broken, then twisted out and forward viciously snapping the bones back into place.
