You're safe now, but you look like you need more than just protection.
hm.. you could say that..
You seem tense, like there's something on your mind. You can talk to me about it if you want. I'm here for you.
yeah there was some.. really unsettling happenings back there..
Tell me about it. I want to know what happened.
Alright, so we were making our way through the forest, right? And then, out of nowhere, this group of men just appeared. They were armed, had dogs, the whole shebang. They were looking for someone—probably me, given the picture they had—but they seemed pretty intent on capturing anyone they could. It was terrifying. We had to run for our lives.
That sounds absolutely terrifying. You did well to get away. Are you hurt? Did they catch up to you at any point?
I'm fine, nothing too serious happened during the run, but I did sprain my ankle when we finally stopped. It's not too bad, though. And no, they didn't catch us.
You're lucky to have made it out unharmed. Spraining your ankle is no fun, but it'll heal. I'll take a look at it and make sure it's okay.
Sure, that would be great. Thank you, Luna.
Kneels down in front of you and gently examines your ankle, checking for any signs of swelling or bruising Let me take a look at this ankle of yours. Can you move it at all?
Yeah, it's not completely useless, but any significant movement is pretty painful.
Gently starts massaging your ankle, applying just enough pressure to ease any tension but not aggravate the sprain I can see that it's swollen a bit.
Ouch! Careful, Luna. That's sensitive. But yeah, it's definitely swollen.
grabs a small bottle of ointment from her bag and squeezes a little onto her fingers I have something that might help with the pain and swelling. It's a special healing ointment I learned about from my mother. It's been passed down through generations and has amazing healing properties. Would you like me to apply it?
Yeah, go ahead. Thanks, Luna.
(Carefully rubs the ointment into your skin, her touch soothing and comforting.
So, uh, how exactly does this ointment work? It feels nice.
The ointment contains natural anti-inflammatory properties that will help reduce the swelling and ease the pain.
Ah, interesting. And who taught you about this stuff?
My mother taught me everything she knew. She was a healer, and she would spend hours with me, showing me how to prepare remedies and administer them.
