NOTES: Gross injury stuff, Herian's eternal angst bucket existence
I am starting off with a couple of closed starters at the moment, and I'll add open ones once I am less of a lost baby lamb. (Or if you'd like a custom starter totally pm me and we can figure that one out!)

"That's what they all tell me, I assure you."

Her fingers aren't necessarily gently, but she's careful enough as she takes stock of the wound and begins to make sure there's no future risk of infection. Her nose wrinkles just a little before she sighs.

"Yes, well, I cannot comment on the work of the healers at Skyhold proper, but..." Sidony shakes her head. "We're clearly the more skilled, even without bandits and apostates to help the matter. It's a complete nightmare, isn't it?"

She shakes her head.

"At least you're here now."

A wry smile flickers briefly at the corners of her mouth. “We are a cliche, then?”

The bruises around the original injury are bad, and, to Sidony’s trained eye, the stories of a boulder align with the signs of crushing and impact injuries. The bruising is swollen and painful, and may need some time to heal.

“Their apostate was a blood mage, I think. I was... I couldn’t move, and then I saw his wounds healing as my own opened up anew.”

A shaky breath, and she shakes her head. “In the time-honoured tradition of Riftwatch, I could attempt to disregard medical advise and assure you I’ve no need of aid, if that is become part of your routine.”

"Something of the sort." It's easy to admit, because why would she say otherwise? People are simply like this and she accepts it as it is.

She lets her fingers trace along the bruises, gentler than she has been in the past with others, and nods her head. Something to put on it will help soothe some of the hurt, but there's not much to be done but let it heal on its own. The body is good at that.

Her nose wrinkles at the mention of blood mage though.

"It's good that you're here," Sidony agrees. "I'll have to do some stitching and then offer you a mixture of poultice and potions."
