The Healing Tents

Now that the weather is warming ever so slightly, and Sina is feeling ever so slightly better, she's throwing herself back into assisting the Inquisition's healers. Though she uses magic sometimes, for the most part she's helping out by providing poultices, herbal remedies, and a soothing bedside manner to the ailing patients, keeping herself busy and no longer focused on the anchor in her chest.

This is how she spends the majority of her afternoons, with the occasional break to rest. She's not in perfect health herself, and it's showing more than ever.
Though in most cases she just seats herself off to one side until her strength rebuilds, there have been one or two incidents in which she has very nearly collapsed and required assistance.
If this upsets her, she shows no sign of it, at least not in the moment.

The Garden

Sina's early mornings to lunchtime are spent planting, trimming, and checking the progress of her various charges. They're starting to bud, which concerns her somewhat since frost is still very much a problem, but some coaxing (and perhaps the tiniest use of Keeper magic) keeps things moving along in a healthy and otherwise undisturbed manner.

She can be found here in the evenings as well, sitting outside her tent, sometimes with Nahariel, wrapped in a blanket and enjoying a cup of tea. She's come to think of the garden as home, it being the greenest place in Skyhold.

Elsewhere

There are times Sina can be encountered with her basket of herbs, making deliveries to the various offices and people requesting medicinal teas, or just in transit from one place to another. It's actually quite rare to find her inside the Keep itself, as the stone enclosures make her nervous, but she does have to pass through every so often.
Hippie.

Comments

[amygdalae]

Bruce had said it with the intention to lift her spirits, but it seemed as if the opposite had happened instead.

"Don't worry about it," he tries to reassure her the best that he can. "Rest as much as you need to. Like you said, there's a lot of work cut out for us with what happened at Halamshiral." He gives her the best smile that he can muster to further convince her, continuing to speak. "If you tire yourself out now, it certainly wouldn't be good."

...that probably didn't come out right as well, but he's trying.

It's difficult not to remain concerned, but Sina isn't in the business of borrowing trouble. At Bruce's reassurance, she nods, sighing lightly and leaning back against the wall before she takes another small sip of the tea.
"Were you there that night?" she asks quietly, "do you know what happened?"

[amygdalae]

Bruce shakes his head in response to the question. "No, I didn't go ," he says, "Didn't really have a reason for me to be there." Even as a mage, and he certainly had no connections whatsoever to really justify his appearance there. "I did hear about some things here and there from the others who did go, though." It wasn't a lot, but it was at least enough to fill in some gaps for him.

"That's probably for the best," Sina concedes, falling silent for a moment. Halamshiral. She went to the city once, and would, on the whole, prefer not to return. ...for a variety of reasons.
"I wouldn't have known what to do either," she adds with a tired smile, "that party in Skyhold was enough for me. I thought it would never end."

[amygdalae]

It really was for the best. Especially considering the kinds of people who were there... even if the probability was low, there was still the chance he could be recognized, which was really the last thing he needed. Really, he should have left here a long time ago--but. There was always going to be something for him to do here, and he couldn't just leave.

He smiles wryly at Sina's next comment. "A lot of people here really know how to throw a celebration," he remarks back in return. "I didn't really participate in it myself either." So at least she isn't alone on that account.
