Her mind wandered as she listlessly kneaded the smoldering powder into the man’s cuts. Delicate fingers sparingly traced his ribs as she moved to another wound. She followed his gaze absently out the window which she now noticed was framed with cobwebs and glazed in dust. There wasn’t much behind the brown smudges. A few buildings exposed their roofs and an abundance of green washed out the background. Suddenly, the large man twisted in pain and Lana involuntarily let out a reprimanding snarl of surprise. It was edged with correction, but soft enough not to disturb the silent darkness.
Having disturbed her trail of caresses, Lana capped the jar and placed it back in her bag. She noticed he was turned away from the window, another subtle sign the man was still living. Her back remained turned although amber eyes caught his flicker of movement. She removed a small vile with yellow petals stacked behind the glass. The healer swished her tail in his stare and flashed a smirk over her shoulder. The calendula petals were removed leisurely and pinched between sharpened nails until shredded strips lay in her palm. Lana turned silently and pressed the petals against the man’s bruises. Yellow tinted his fur after a moment of rubbing.
The woman found a new rhythm to work at, her alternative methods soon covered the body of the slave. Her hands found the bruises on his chest and neck and now agile fingers traced his jaw with flower dust. She found his eyes after a moment and doubled back, her mind rearing up like a startled horse. Blue eyes like that hadn’t faced her since … Lana growled deeply and returned her focus on the injuries lining his muzzle for although her head was raging she merely blinked and paused on the outside. Her expression was instantly guarded and stony but other than that her movements remained practiced a skillful.
