Laurelindo looked toward Estarfin, still asleep and alive, before turning back to what he was doing... getting the room back in working order. Bandages were replaced already, but now he was listing the salves used and the ingredients needed to made salves anew.
This was when he was interrupted by the opening of the door.
"You could have warned me there was need for healers ! Noted Tyulussë entering the room.
-I... Had no time. Though you are welcome to help make sure lord Estarfin survives. He is in bad shape.
-Yes, I can see that with all the bandages you put on him.
-I wasn't alone there, I'll have you know. Protested Laurelindo vaguely, eyes still on his list.
-What does he have ? Asked Tyulusse.
-I'll tell you what he doesn't have, it'll be quicker. Snorted Laurelindo.
-Laure...
-Most worrisome, the broken ribs. Then there is a deep arrow wound on his chest, various stabbing wounds, one very serious on his arm but I think it'll be less worrisome in the end that the broken ribs and arrow wound, also bite wounds, a broken leg, a badly damaged hand, I'm not sure he'll recover full mobility, and a damaged shoulder. Oh and he was poisoned but it was a weak one, with reduced effects and quickly eliminated. Or it should have been. Honestly had he not been in the snow as he was, I think he'd be dead by now."
While speaking, Laurelindo turned his attention toward Estarfin
-Hm... He was inconscious since he came back ?
-He awoke shortly while we were trying to treat his injuries. And he was more worried about goblins around than about his own health which, I am sorry to say, is quite a relief.
-Eh ?"
Tyulussë threw a confused look at a slightly smiling Laurelindo.
"He was as usual, that much is clear."
That made Tyulussë chuckles.
"So, what happened exactly when they came back ? Any other injured ?
-hm... Lady Danel but no other as far as I'm aware. Then again I am not too sure about the extent of lady Danel's injuries so I may not be the most reliable source of information here.
-You aren't ? You didn't even asked after ?
-I'm still busy here, when would have I found the time ?
-Point taken. So, what happened ?
-Caelthel came to warn us of the soon arrival of the search party sent after lord Estarfin. She also warned us that there was two injured with them. Lord Estarfin and Lady Danel... Tyulussë, for a cleaning salve, would you prefer Thyme salve or Plantain ?
-Plantain. It cleans and encourage healing, not just cleans like Thyme does. You should know that already. And that doesn't really answer me. What happened today ?
-Oh yes, excuse me. So we were warned that they would be back soon with Estarfin and lady Danel injured. I went to wait at the doors of the Valley. We didn't have too long to wait to be honest. You should have seen him when they arrived. Lady Limiriel left lord Estarfin right on the floor. In as bad a state as he was, can you believe that ? Lord Anglachelm carried him here and we started working, lady Eliriael, lady Uilossiel and I, on Estarfin's wounds. Lord Tindir helped a little, lord Anglachelm and Dolthafaer, though without a doubt nice were quite the distraction, I'm afraid. I could tell you what we did precisely but I'm afraid the rest would be quite... Confused to me. Oh and please, remind me to get lady Uilossiel to learn to stitch wounds. It may be of great use to her one day.
-Right now the only confused thing here is you and your explanation, let me tell you.
-She told us she never learnt to stitch a wound. Oh and at some point Dolthafaer was promoted to lord. Which is a pretty good thing."
Tyulusse watched with amusement as Laurelindo's attention was really shared between his writing and glancing at Estarfin to check his health.
"So... What needs replacement ?
-Cleaning salve mainly. And before lord Estarfin is fully healed I would bet on sleeping draught."
That made Tyulussë laugh.
"Not very nice, healer. He noted.
-No but more effective than letting him roam the valley or try to train with in his state. Tyulussë, may I leave you in charge here ? Call me if he wakes up or his situation changes. I'll be in my office.
-I will, but you should rest.
-I will. In my office.
-Definition of resting ?
-My house is on the other side of the valley. I'll be closer in my office if need be, and I need to finish something quickly.
-... And you come and tell me how stubborn he is ?
-Takes one to know one, Lovely."
Laurelindo winked at Tyulussë before leaving, list still in hand, with two empty jars.
