[Nexus] The Nest/Karyana's Forest III:

[Beans]

[Motel]
When Talina wakes, Jen is still asleep and cuddled against her.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Talina continues to hold Jen close, smiling, and starts to rub her neck and shoulders.

[Beans]

[Motel]
She stretches and Talina will see one of her hands...
The growing claws have poked through the wrappings.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Depending on how long she slept for, it's possible that the potion is starting to wear off, though the effects will take a few posts to completely go away if it is.

"We should probably change the wrappings..."

[Beans]

[Motel]
The potion helped the bleeding and pain, but the claw growth persisted.

It's been wearing off a bit now, but it's not bleeding that much any more any way.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Yep, I was just saying she might be starting to hurt again.

Talina continues the massage, and says "How are you feeling?"

[Beans]

[Motel]
Better...
Deadtime for a bit.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Talina continues to hold her close and massage, saying "Good. I'm glad I was able to help."

[Beans]

[Motel]
She smiles a little bit.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Talina returns the smile, and continues to continue.

"Do you want me to get you some more water, or something to eat?"

[Beans]

[Motel]
She shrugs.
A muscular contraction ripples through her hands and the claws retract.
... Huh...

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

"Interesting. Do you mind if I take a look at them again, now that the claws seem to have finished growing?"

[Beans]

[Motel]
She nods and lets her.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Then Talina will unwrap the same finger she looked at earlier.

[Beans]

[Motel]
It looks like the finger is adapting to the claw being there.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

"Hm. It looks like your hand is adapting to having claws... Have your feet been changing at all?"

[Beans]

[Motel]
She shakes her head.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

"Alright. Can you remember anything, even just fragments, that might be related?"

[Beans]

[Motel]
She shakes her head.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Talina tries to pull Jen into her lap.

If Nycca is around, she might notice that the magically heated blanket is floating towards Jen's room.

[Beans]

[Motel]
She follows and finds the sick girl and Talina.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Talina motions for her to come over, reaching into her compontent pouch with her other hand.

[Beans]

[Motel]
She comes over, concerned.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Talina pulls out a string of dried herbs, and several vials of liquid. One is black, another orange, a third red, and the final one green with inky black tendrils twisting through it.

Nycca will probably recognize it as being the mixture that Talina gave the girls in the slave brothel if they were taking care of one that got ill, before she rescued them.

[Beans]

[Motel]
She comes and rubs Jen's back.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Talina pops the corks out of the vials; the first smells of burnt mean, the second chemical, and the last two turpentine and nothing, respectively. If nothing prevents her from doing so, they'll start to mix together, and, when the liquids are fully combined, some of the herbs will be added.

[Beans]

[Motel]
Nycca watches.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Talina pulls an empty flask from her pouch, and the mixture flows into it. Once it's all in, the sorceress tries to hand into Nycca.

If the bat-fey drinks it, while it won't cure any illnesses that she already has, or make her completely immune to new ones, she should be less likely to get sick for a while.

[Beans]

[Motel]
She drinks it and rubs Jen's back.
((Where do I put my construct lady?))

[Lady Serpentine]

[Motel]

Talina smiles, and tries to start rubbing Jen's arms and legs.

((Talnissa will need to be plotcloned anyway, and two of the Trium's are nowhere in particular at the moment (with the other in Trog's), so drop her wherever you want.))
