3rd of Vhalar, Arc 718
Rose angled the trimming shears to clip another leaf of peppermint that she tugged gently away from the stem. The pungent scent of the herb wafted around her as she knelt down to better access the next stem. Her favorite old dress had been ruined two seasons ago when she had assisted in the birth of Qit’ria’s child so the young healer had gone to a local tailor that morning to get outfitted in new pair of leather breeches, a new green shirt, matching cotton overdress that went to her knees and a set of leather bracers and armor to go underneath her clothes. She wanted something that was both lady-like and sensible and this had fit the bill.
Rose had never really worn any kind of armor before but the light leather corset and bracers made her feel just a bit more comfortable when she went into the forest to gather plants. Her time with Ti’niva had taught her that there were many dangers beneath the shadows of the Makubwa Lori. That reality was not lost on Rose.
The second sprig came away into her grasp and Rose quickly pulled the leaves away and deposited them into the bag that hung at her hip where a bundle of mint was already stored. She stood, taking a moment to grab a nearby watering can and giving the plants a bit of a drink in return for providing her with their leaves. She tried not to overwater them. The healer had found that plants often did best with a light watering rather than attempting to drown them. Last season she had nearly destroyed half the Medicine House’s garden by being a little to generous in her watering.
Rose may her way up a nearby ladder that led to the back entrance of the Olọravu Slosneppe. After making her way through the door, she emerged into a small room where various herbs were drying on hooks and others were waiting in pots to be ground into medicine or teas. She dumped the load of mint into a waiting basket to dry before grabbing a small jar of pre-prepared mint tea along with a jar of honey.
She was visiting a patient today in her home. It was a little girl who seemed to be constantly plagued with colds and coughs no matter the season. A little mint tea would hopefully give her some relief from the symtoms. She also took pouch of ground ginger and feverfew. After the incident with the children getting sick in Ashan, and meeting the Avriel Noah, Rose had started mixing ginger with the bitter fever reducing herb to help with the flavor.
Tucking the tea and ginger/feverfew mixture away in her bag Rose headed out of the medicine house to meet with the paitent's mother Hanni in Desnind proper.
It took a half a break to manage to find the home of the woman and her daughter but after asking for directions for a few passing Sevir the healer was directed to the home of Hanni. It was a modest tree-house, as all Sev’ryn abodes were and it was situated high in a tall oak. Rose knocked softly on the door before it was cracked open.
Hanni was a middle aged woman with dark skin, warm amber eyes and black hair that was braided tightly to her neck. She inspected Rose with a critical eye, glancing at her cloak before recognizing her profession.
"Onitẹsiwaju, awt ke’u tọ tä ise agbese wajen ? "(Hello, are you here to help, healer?)
Rose nodded, "Yes, wajen ise agbese" (healer help) she added with a soft smile. Hanni allowed the wooden door to creak open to reveal the innards of the tree-house.
Inside there was a large room where a young girl, no older than seven lay on a low bed. She was sitting up and seemed bright and attentive aiside from a cough that escape her throat from time to time.
Rose’s green hoodless cloak marking her as a member of the Order of Adunih fluttered behind her as she slipped into the room and went to the child's bedside.
