We Meet Once Again(Ssafirsotibones)

[Iris Timandre]

62nd of Summer, 512

Iris shifted her body left to try and find something that could slow down the bleeding on Bones' wound. Inside of the healer's medical kit rested a handful of sugar. That was a very useful way to slow down the bleeding before stitching.

The Konti reached her left hand downward and grabbed the handful of sugar lifting it just over Bones' leg and sprinkling it over the wound. Back at the opal temple Iris had learned this useful way to slow bleeding.

"Don't worry Bones, this isn't painful."

But using salt would have had a sting. Iris rubbed the sugar all over the wound to spread it. Her pale palm got some of Bones' blood on it. Iris reached back into the medical kit and pulled out some silk thread. She said to Bones.

"This one is going to hurt some. Grab that white rag in my kit and press it down on your wound until I have the stitching supplies ready."

The healer slowly started to pull some of the thread back. She's done this for one other person in Zeltiva, Tock. Iris stitched up what Tock claimed was a rock gash. Iris believed her. She had no other choice because she had not seen an axe cut. But now Iris saw a deep stab wound and it looked similar to Tock's axe stab.

That was something Iris had to deal with another time. She had the thin needle ready. Pushing the thread through the end of the needle slowly Iris missed it twice. This made her angry. She got it the third.

"Hard to explain? Why would we need to explain anything in any CASE? It's my room."

Iris flashed Bones a smile shifted her blue eyes up to meet his gaze.

Bones gave her a odd look, as Iris sprinkled a powder onto his wound. He did not know enough of medicine to know what that was supposed to do, or why. And he did not know enough about cooking, to recognize it for sugar. Not eating normal human food, and finding seasoning disgusting, did have its downsides. He simply shook his head, as she warned him it was not going to hurt... If he was skittish of a little small pain, he would not have lasted long as a warrior. He answered, a bit sarcastically. "I ssink I will pull ssrough Irisss, letsss jussst get it done alright, I am not sssqueamisssh." As directed, Bones took the bit of cloth, and pressed it down. That was one bit of medicinal knowledge he had learned, pressing down on a wound, and applying pressure, slowed the bleeding. Though he had yet to learn why that worked. He simply knew it did. "I guessss ssat isss true. You did lock sse door right? Or elssse sssomeone might jussst come walking in." Looking at the needle and thread, Bones winced a bit, not looking forward to having his wound stitched. But he knew it had to be done... "Well, go ahead, letsss get ssisss ssstitched..."

Iris placed the needle and thread next to Bones' wounded thigh. After she brused the rest of the suger off of the injured thigh she placed her left palm on top of it. There was a weird feeling, this was the second time Iris put her hand on a wound that bad.

A blue burning light started to burn under Iris' palm. She held it there, this would only cleanse the wound of any potential infection or get rid of minor infections. Iris made sure this was done before she began stitching anything like a stab wound. The healing also would ease up Bones' thigh muscle if it were either tense or strained.

"The sugar helps slow bleeding down you know." Iris dared to sneak in a conversation while trying to comfort Bones' thigh. She learned while dealing with Tock's injury having a conversation during the healing process would make it less painless. And the time would feel like it went by much faster. Finally, Iris removed her left hand from on top of the injured thigh. It was time to stitch.

Bones wanted to know if the door was locked. But keeping people out wasn't Iris' concern. It was making sure that Bones could walk out with a better thigh, one that didn't look like it'd soon need to be cut off all together. "No Bones, the door isn't locked. If someone comes in I wouldn't mind. Nor would I care if they start to think funny."

The healer picked the needle and thread up and decended it twards Bones' stab wound, the corner of it. Iris' needle pushed right into the corner's skin and made an exit on the opposite side. The Konti pulled the thread through the skin looking back at Bones to see if it hurt him or not.

Bones gritted his teeth, keeping a noise from escaping his throat... Ever the warrior, not wanting to show weakness... For in battle, all showing weakness would get you, was a blade in the neck, either from a foe, or a former friend... Or at least that is what he expected. Though of course he had grown up fighting Dhani, who would kill another if they were found to be weak, or heaven forbid a Myrian seeing a Dhani show weakness. Perhaps it was due to his culture he worked so hard to not appear weak... Or perhaps it was a universal thing, that men everywhere did by instinct? Bones did not notice the light, but did notice the wet itchy feeling spreading over his wound for a moment, before vanishing to a slightly relieved pain... Though only slightly... Kind of like a combination of something scratchy, warm, and itchy, moving over his flesh... He had been off distant, letting his vision rove, keeping his mind off the moment of pain, when Iris recalled him to the current, speaking to him again... For a moment anger flashed in his eyes, and his face tensed, instinctive, a rush fury which he forcibly pushed away and quelled... He shook his head, clearing it off the sudden angry thought brought on while he was distracted... Best to keep focused, lest he might attack the woman helping to heal him... And that would not be good... He would not be able to lose focus like that again, if he wanted to keep his snake mind in line... He gazed at Iris, keeping focused on her face, clenching his teeth in concentration. He looked down to see her starting at his wound, needle and thread in hand... He quickly shifted his gaze, staring up at the ceiling, clenching his teeth shut to keep from letting slip anything... In general, it was not painless, having a needle lancing through and sowing through ones flesh. Doing his best to keep his leg relaxed and not tense, while his mind was anticipating the insertion of the pointed metal bit into his leg...
