In reply to: Shanna 's message, "Re: Almost....there...." on 01:58:40 05/10/01 Thu

frowns softly, forehead wrinkling in thought...
it was Shanelle's favorite symbol... I showed her a book of ancient icons, and this was drawn on one of the blank pages... she loved the explanation of it so much, that I gave her the book - I'm sure she still has it around her office somewhere...


frowns even deeper at Shanna's pushing past...


Shanna... wha...?


trails off as I hear Shanna screaming "DA"...


Excuse me Ladies...


edges past the women to the hallway and runs into the bedroom, skidding on one of the discarded items of clothing...


in nominii patri! Shanna... get me the bag in our bathroom that has all of my herbs and salves in it...


moves to the bed and braces one knee on it, gently leaning forward over Rav's shoulder to see how his breathing is and expertly slipping the dirk out of his hand... nods and leans back, fingers nimbly tracing over his back and legs as if assessing the damages... looks up as Shanna hands me the bag... opens it up, frowning at some of the wounds, knowing that if he were a normal human, he'd be dead already...


Shanna... his belt and sword, can you put them out of the way... I have a feeling when he wakes up, he's going to come up swinging... and the smudge pot on my desk - light the bundle of white sage, when it starts to flame, blow the flame out and let it smoke in the pot... close the windows tight so no air gets in... I'm also going to need you to help me with the bandaging as I clean all of his injuries


sets the dirk on the bedside table and pulls out the small bottle of witch hazel and a clean cloth, oblivious to anyone else who's in the house right now... removes the bandages one by one, starting at Rav's hips and cleans them all with the tonic, whispering soothingly, more for my own benefit really, but calming words in case he wakes up in the middle of all of this stitchery and gets a bit frisky... sets the bottle of witch hazel aside and looks at some of the deeper cuts, not liking the looks of them... knows he's gonna hate me for this and pulls out a thin tiny needle threaded with silk... slips the needle into a loop of fabric from my robe while I remove the bloody bandage and clean the first cut... takes a breath and the needle, quickly stitching up the deepest part of it, working my way out until I get to the surface of the skin and neatly stitches it up, making only a tiny thin seam in his skin... re-cleans it and let's Shanna re-bandage it as I move on to the next, repeating the same motions over and over until every last wound is recovered in clean bandages...


Shanna... takes a deep breath and wipes my forehead... we're going to have to turn him over.. and then you're going to have to leave for a little bit... I'm pretty certain he wouldn't want his daughter to see him completely nude...


eases my arms under his shoulder and waist, gently lifting him as Shanna rolls him over... quickly grabs the sheet and pulls it over his hips to cover him and waits for Shanna to leave.. Thank you baby gurl... you were a big help to me. One last thing I need... is some warm water and a clean washcloth...


winks at mah baby as she leaves, then sets to checking for and additional injuries on his chesta and stomach... quickly cleans and re-bandages the injury on his arm, thanking Shanna as she brings me the warm water and refusing to grimace at the extent of the injuries... frowns, inspecting some of them closer than others and wondering if some of these cuts are claw-gouges or just dull blades... makes a mental note to interrogate Rav later about this, when he's feeling up to it...


sighs and sits back on my heels, back sore from bending over Rav for the last few hours... slips off the bed and quicky changes clothing, pulling my hair back and up on top of my head as I turn back to the bed... dips the cloth in the water and gingerly washes the rest of his body, cleaning off any dried blood and dirt... groans softly, knowing I'd damned well better get a new bed out of this... inches up to the head of the bed and eases his head and shoulders onto my thighs, brushing a new clean damp washcloth over his face and neck... brushes his hair back out of his eyes with a soft smile... kisses my fingertips and brushes them over his lips, then shifts and leans back against the headboard, my fingers instinctively finding his and lacing with them... then whispers softly -
