“I see.”  Mitch said softly to the strange woman, he didn’t have a clue really but he was trying to remain conversational.  “Catnip you say.  I didn’t see a cat.”  Mitch eyes narrowed a little but then he decided he would let it pass when she told him she was looking for supplies.  “Supplies, well that explains the tree mushroom … except I don’t know what you can do with it except eat it.  They are tasty, not that I make a habit of eating mushrooms I do not recognize, you never know, they might be a toadstool.”<br/><br/>“The blood stain is more what I’m worried about, but if you do have a piece of thread to spare I would be in your debt.”  Mitch was not sure what to make of this absolutely odd person as he he watched her driving back towards the tree coming closer to him and then when she settled down next to him and explained what the different plants where and he twisted his hips a little so that she could have an optimal viewing of the markings on his body and then he laughed softly, “Dear, I’m not a professional of anything at all.  I just barely survive in this harsh world.  Until today, I haven’t seen a healer since my parents died.  Right now I’m glad for the attention.”  He tensed his arm a little waiting for the prodding as he continued to explain, “You just wash the bandages and get the sap out,  why does it matter that it stains the fabric, it’s not like you can expect anything to stay white here.  It’s to stop the bleeding, your poultice is what keeps the infection out.  The bandage is to keep it there.  No?”<br/><br/>Deciding he wanted to know the girls name he continued, “My name is Mitch by the way, what is yours curly hair?”  As he waited for her to explain he moved a little bit to examine her feet and he noticed more acutely the burns that littered her body and he said, “And please after you tell me your name explain how such a young thing as you has so many burns?”
