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

[not_the_question]

The Doctor stumbles over his shock a little. It's because of situations like this that he can't tell people's ages.

"No, they're just very far away. So they look little. This star is very very close, so it can keep your planet warm."

That... probably won't help. He points to a tree in the distance.

"See that tree there? It looks really small from here, doesn't it? But you know that it's about as big as... this tree here. It's the same way with stars."

[eolasemah]

Sounds fake. Who's this guy coming in from another world and telling Sina how her own functions? But she's polite, and won't call him out. ...mainly because he might be right and she'd never know, she's never been that high up.

"How do you know?" she asks instead.

[not_the_question]

Really? No one believes him about anything, but he's supposed to just accept this thing called 'magic'? But he swallows down his sarcastic replies. And instead answers truthfully.

"Because I have a ship that can sail among the stars."

[eolasemah]

......still sounds fake. But Sina is intrigued, and perhaps even a little startled.
"Do you have it here?" The question is one of curiosity, not demanding proof.

[not_the_question]

He shook his head.

"No. And even if I did, she wouldn't work. There's a lot of technology that she uses, none of which works here."

As proof of non-working things, he pulls out his sonic screwdriver.

[eolasemah]

Sina's face falls, but she doesn't call him out or disbelieve him. The Rifters often talk of strange contraptions they used to have, and she's learned that it's easier just to take their word for it.
And then there's that. Sina gives a little start, her eyelids fluttering. "What is that?" It looks like a torture device.

[not_the_question]

"Right now? It's junk. Doesn't work in this place. Normally, it's a sonic screw driver. It interacts with any form of communication you care to mention. It also is really good as a screwdriver."

He frowns a little. He's pretty not happy that it doesn't work here.

"Don't suppose there's any magic that could fix it?"

[eolasemah]

She doesn't even bother to ask what a screwdriver is, too far in over her head already. Sina hold out her hand in a silent request to see the device, biting her lower lip as she does.
"None that I possess," she admits, "but Nari is... well, she's not a mage, but she's good with tools and figuring out how things work. She might be able to help."

[not_the_question]

He offers it to her. It's not like she can make it worse by holding it.

"Oh? Where would I find her?"

This is the first bit of hope he's had where his sonic is concerned.

[eolasemah]

"Our tent in the garden," Sina says, "I'll let her know you're looking for her. We both still get a bit strange around sh-- humans."

[not_the_question]

He raises an eyebrow at that. "Strange? Strange how? Or do you mean skittish? If you mean skittish, I tend to do that to people anyway. It's the eyebrows."

He'll blame and take credit for everything when it comes to the eyebrows.

[eolasemah]

"Skittish," she clarifies, with another laugh. "Though we've gotten better."

[not_the_question]

"I'm used to people being skittish around me. Would it help or make things worse if I said I wasn't human."

After all, he could go that route, if it would help.
