Ashia nodded and helped Vyre first dry the baby with a towel before switching to the blanket all the while the child seemed rather awestruck by all of it.<span style="color: #404040"> "mm, she does seem to enjoy the attention." </span>Sharindia smirked and nodded.<span style="color: #003366">"i know that feeling, you were two weeks early. thankfully i had everything i would need three months early."</span><span style="color: #404040">"Order said anytime in the next thirty-six hours, i think your touch coaxed her out early."</span><br/><br/>Isabelle nodded and smiled.<span style="color: #663300">"your welcome darling."</span>she settled in to eat with a happy coo and Rayne would notice a definite improvement of the skill involved in preparing this much more complex dish as well as other seasonings she was unfamiliar with.<br/><br/>Ophidian nodded as he led Animus out back to the horse which he put the bags on and led off down the road.<span style="color: #006600">"you and Order must get along... that is the exact opposite of a useful response, it only eggs people on more. i assume you mean more bodies such as this right? i can demonstrate my triage and surgery skills on as many bodies as you like but diagnosis becomes difficult or impossible since you don't react appropriately. with severe injuries the biggest problem is blood loss, so many patients simply bleed out before i can get to the severed artery and stop it. second to that is corruption, i have learned to cut away mangled or burnt flesh because despite what priests like to say parts of the body can die independently of the whole, i call it debriding a wound and i have seen remarkable improvements in patient survival though the scarring can be extensive. as for sickness, that is far more difficult. i know something is causing the sickness but i know nothing about it or how it works or how to fight it. all i can do is try to keep a fever down or in this case keep people from dying of thirst because that's all it is. i examined the bodies, they are fatally dehydrated because everything is spewing out both ends." </span>he nodded and frowned a little.<span style="color: #006600">"i will just be telling people how to administer the medicine to their relatives and trying once again to convince them to boil their water. they are generally desperate enough to trust me and do what i say."</span>he smirked a little as he turned to head down a dirt path towards the first house.<span style="color: #006600"> "see, now that's a bad attitude to have about bribes. the trick is to offer enough to dazzle them and then pretend it's all you can afford, otherwise they will try to wring every last copper out of you." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
