Logfile from Nerak

[Healer] Sudanna: There is a healer needed on the beach at ista Hold.. I can't go.. Arm is cut.. Anyone want it?

[Healer] Nerak: I can go...

[Healer] Sudanna: Cool.. It's Collin and go ahead and page him. he's an awesome person.

You paged Collin with: Nerak pages, "I got your name from Sudanna, she says you are on the beach and need a healer?"

[Healer] Kesara can go too.

[Healer] Nerak: I am in the courtyard, I paged the guy before I am going to walk onto the beach. Come on down!

Kesara walks in.

Nerak looks at Kesara "Hi there! How are you today?"

Nerak *I am waiting for Collin to page me...

Kesara smiles "Pretty well, and you? Have we met?" she queries, holding out her hand in case they havent. "I'm Kesara and you?"

Nerak grins "I am Nerak, a senior apprentice. I think I've seen you around the Hall. Nice to meet you!"and shakes her hand...

Kesara nods "Well met, Nerak, yes I do wander about on occasion as I am being trained to be a dolphinhealer." she leans back upon the wall in a relaxed state, and tucks her hands in her pockets.

You paged Collin with: Nerak pages, "hello? are you there? Do you need a healer? Sudanna said you needed a healer, and I am just in the courtyard - can walk to the beach in just a second, but am waiting to hear from you..."

You sense that Collin is looking for you in Main Beach (#1538). Collin pages, "I paged you giving the okay...(Couldn't hurt :) Cole decided to juggle some knives and got distracted..nice gash across his forearm)"

You paged Collin with: Nerak pages, "sorry, didn't get it, will be there..."

Nerak *Ok, we can go in...

You walk towards the beach. Collin and Selendi are here.

You stand on the sandy main beach.

[Healer] Sudanna: nerak, kes.. you guys goin' in?

"How /dare/ you talk to me like that?" The young woman cries out, her soprano vocals rising in both tone and pitch. It is at times like this when most wish that they are deaf. Selendi's firelizards suddenly appear from out of the air, the cold rush of between adding a new, bitter texture to the salty tones of the harborside. "I'm not some /child/ you can scold anytime you want." Selendi shoots a glare at Collin's direction, her lips pulling together tautly in a thin line of emotion. Tumultous thoughts surge and crowd the young woman's head, and already, Selendi can feel the oncomings of a headache, but she refuses to stop, having been throughly insulted and angered by this so-called trader. "I was just /teasing/ you, and if you had any -real- skill, noise would /not/ mess you up .. you.. you..." Pause, ".. you clumsy OAF!"

Kesara strides gracefully and confidently in from the courtyard.

Nerak grins at Kesara "So how long have you been with the dolphincraft?"

You paged Kesara with: Nerak pages, "Looking for an opportunity for them to say something about the cut... he says he was playing w/knives and has a gash on his forarm..."

Kesara thinks for a minute "It seems like forever and a day, but I believe its been around 3 or 4 turns now" she smiles "Its a dear place to my heart, and I was made at home right from the start. Though the healers sure are nice too!" she winks and smiles.

Nerak grins "Yes, I've been with the healers for a year now. I really like it! I've always known that I wanted to be a healer! I brought sick animals home when I was a kid, so I could help make them better."

Kesara spies movement in the water. "Tesssiieeee!" she calls happily at her little dolphin partner. "I haven't got any fissies, but will in a little bit ok?" she grins, knowing just what her sweetie likes.

Nerak grins, "You need fish, hold on... Slider!"

From the shallows of the beach, Tessa gives a bright squee towards Kesara as she surfaces as far in towards the beach that she can go without getting stuck. "Kessie!! I found you!"

Slider takes off from her shoulder and flies out to the ocean and picks up a fish in each claw, and brings it back to the beach. Slider just loves to fish!

Collin roars outrageously,"Oaf! I'll show you oaf!" He takes a step towards Selendi raising his arm, when he notices that there's a little more blood than he had anticipated spreading through the arm of his tunic. "Flamin' shards! Look at this cut! Now I'll have Lysta on me fer gettin' hurt...girl ye caused me a lot o' trouble!"

Nerak hears the man on the beach talking about a cut on his arm... "Excuse me, do you need any help? I am a healer, and I can help you!"

You notice Collin looking at you.

Kesara thinks to send her flits out to do the same, when she turns upon hearng a yell. "Nerak, did you hear that? Sounds like somebody might need some healers....." she thinks and looks in the direction of the noise. "Faranth's Egg!"

Selendi cries out in exasperation, shaking her head back and forth so that the motion tousels the neat waves of her ebony locks. "I /didn't/ do this to you. We've already established that, and you better run along to the healer." She stops her tantrum for a fraction of a second to examine the cut, her eyes trained on the red liquid that has slid down across his creamy skin. Taking a deep breath, the young woman replies, "I'll talk to you again -later-, but right now, you need to be treated." And then with a sniff of annoyance, Selendi saunters out of the area, her long legs carrying her to the oblivion that distance provides.

Selendi *snugs! Thanks for the RP! :)

Collin looks over at the man who interupted his ranting in surprise. "I'll not need a healer, but she will if'n I can get me hands on 'er!" He takes another step towards her.

Selendi walks off the beach towards the courtyard.

Nerak walks over to the couple on the beach, "I didn't mean to bother you all, or to just jump into your conversation, but when I see someone who needs treatment, I just jump right in!" and opens up her bag where she keeps her first aid supplies...

OOC: Collin sorries...meant to type woman, but had a momentary lapse in thought

Nerak *No problem! Happens all the time...

Kesara shuffles along after Nerak. "Aye, when there's trouble about, we're here to help." she bends over and looks at the bag then up at the people again. "I'm Kesara, and this is Nerak," she says. "And you are?" she thinks to be polite whilst Nerak is rummaging.

Collin watches after the retreating girl and sighs in frustration, he's not a big fan of healers. "Cole, Trader Cole," he says simply.

Nerak pulls redwort and some bandages out of her bag. "Yes, I should have introduced myself, I am Nerak, sorry! Now, how did this happen?"

From the shallows of the beach, Tessa rolls over in the water playfully.

Collin shakes his head and points to the knife some paces away lodged into the driftwood. "I was jugglin'...just t' have some fun an' entertain some people...tha' girl tha' left started yellin' at me about cheatin' through me blindfold an' I missed a toss..." He bends down and picks up the knives arrayed on the ground around him.

Kesara fishes a ball from her pack for tessa to play with, and promptly throws it at her "Tessie, you can play with this while we help the man ok?" she wheedles, not wanting to have her feel neglected. To Collin she says "Ah well met Trader Cole. We shall try to have it bandaged up as fast as possible, no worries," as she promptly reaches out and makes like she wants to examine the arm. "May we see?" she asks.

Nerak "Well met. Can I look at that cut for you? I'd like to see how deep it is. Is that alright with you, sir?"

Collin (#17932)

Standing before you is a man in the late years of his second decade, despite the age added by the flecks of gray throughout his long, dark brown hair. He stands tall, just above six feet, and is covered in well toned muscle. His slightly unkempt hair and scraggly two-day growth of facial hair give him a rough grizzly appearance, seeming more like a highwayman or a big burly guard. His only saving grace is his ready wide smile for everyone and his calm blue eyes, like deep pools of water in a forest pool, or like newly cut sapphires. His eyes are intelligent and caring, and even though he looks like a lummox of a man he had a swift gracefulness about his movements as if he knew exactly what he was doing with every step.

He is wearing his usual forest green shirt. This one a nice long sleeve cotton shirt with buttons down the front. Over that is a colorful cloak, sewn together like a patchwork quilt with many different shapes sizes and hues. The cloak, the defining feature of his enseble, looks designed to attract attention as it flourishes with the slightest breeze.

When he moves you can see long tannish pants, made of some durable material almost like canvas, held up by a wide leather belt with a silver dolphin setting for a buckle. The only aspect of his clothing that shows the slightest wear is a pair of worn out black boots, tops folded down so they only come up to mid-calf.

Collin is 28 Turns, 4 months, and 12 days old.

Collin sighs again and says,"It's just a scratch, really..I'll be alright in an hour or so.." he shows the pair the long straight gash across his arm.

Nerak grins "Well, sir, I'll be the judge of that. Could you please sit down on that log over there? Let me clean it out, so I can get a good look at it."

Collin pages, "Cole'll try and get out of any ministrations as much as possible...mainly by putting off a nice big cut as a tiny scratch"

Nerak takes his arm, and leads him over to the log. "There now, sit down please... I really need to look at it, it really is bleeding."

Kesara grins. "/Exactly/....I can hold his arm still while you do that, Nerak, if you'd like" she offers, figuring that its probably going to be refused. "It may /look/ small but be deep ya know." she adds.

You paged Collin with: Nerak pages, "so, do you want stitches to show off? or just clean & bandage..."

Tydepul wonders what happened to the other girl, Selendi. Tydepul clears her throat, "Eh-hem, so, uh, did everything turn out ok?"

Collin pages, "Your call...stitches are okay by me"

Collin sits down on the log and retrieves his last knife. "Seriously, I'll be fine...just a scratch," he says again and rolls up the ruined tunic sleeve.

From the shallows of the beach, Tessa moves over to get the ball and flicks it up into the air and bounces it on beak and then to her melon and then back into the air clicking and squeeing happily.

You paged Kesara with: Nerak pages, "don't let me take over, you can jump in too!"

Nerak takes his arm in her hand and begins to examine it. She looks at it, for an extended amount of time, and doesn't seem to have a very happy look on his face. "I think you are going to need stitches. This looks pretty deep. You are going to have to come with us to the infirmary. Please follow me."

Kesara pages, "we use redword right?"

Kesara pages, "redwort, doh. wel kewl thanx. im just doing a me pose u pose thing, so nobody takes over ^^"

Nerak *if you all don't want to move, we can do it here... I can just pull it out of my bag...

Kesara pages, "ok to clean out the wound...or have u already done that? anywho you do you thing and instruct me on what to do...since i havnet had much experience on real patients.."

You paged Kesara with: Nerak pages, "ok, im going to send you back to the inf to get stuff, just RP it, you can leave the beach and come right back... if you want, or send a flit..."

Collin gives her an exasperated sigh,"I don't need stitches! I've had worse'n tha' jugglin' just plain wooden balls!" He shakes his head emphatically and folds his arms, only containing the slightest wince,"I'm not budgin'!"

Kesara pages, "okie dok!"

Tydepul to Cole, "Why not? Couldn't hurt to go?"

Amia shrieks worriedly at the head trader. If he doesn't let these women help.. he will get his pet!

Nerak takes his arm back in her grasp, much firmer this time, and starts to wash the cut with the redwort she has. "Kesara, could you do me a favor and go to the infirmary and get me a needle, some thread, more redwort and numbweed salve? Thanks!" and gives her a big smile. "You, sir, need to sit still so that I can wash this..."

Kesara nods, "be right back!" she says and hurries off, trying not to spray sand as she goes. She returns after about 5 minutes or so...

Eyebrows raise as Collin tries to jerk his arm back just a second too late. He looks up at the firelizard with just a little more surprise and gives in muttering something about women and their meddling with men's minds.

Nerak "Ok, we can do it all here, if you don't want to go, but it will be more difficult." and takes some redwort and drips it onto his arm. The redwort does sting a little... but this nice /big/ man, surly wouldn't cringe infront of a woman... would he???

Tydepul watches curiously at what Nerak is doing. Healer wouldn't be a bad profession to take up...

Kesara comes running in , trying not to drop her bags of supplies. "I got it all, Nerak, right here." she says, stopping and catching her breath. /Shards/ is she /that/ out of shape? Tis all those healer classes and not enough time to swim as she used to have, yes, that must be it.

From the shallows of the beach, Tessa looks towards the shore at Kesara. "Human hurt?"

Nerak grins as Kesara comes back "Great, thanks alot! With the help of his firelizard, he seems to be cooperating a little more..." and winks at Kesara... "Alright, you can help me here. Could you please help me to hold his arm, so I can get back to the cleaning and see how deep it is..."

Kesara nods "Yes, Tessie-phin, he's hurt, whether he wants to admit it or not." she says smiling ruefully. "And we're trying to help him get better." she states simply. Hand is wiped over perspiring brow, and the water is looked at longingly. Kesara nods "Right, no problem!" she says, kneeling beside the trader and holding his arm with both of her hands in front of and behind the cut, leaving plenty of room for her friend to work. Flits upon her shoulder smell blood and start up, eyes whirling with reds and yellows of alarm.

You paged Collin with: Nerak pages, "you still there? hehe! havent heard from you for a while... I tend to talk alot..."

Collin sits back and closes his eyes to the world, just waiting until everything is done with and he can get back to work. He unclenches the fist he had made with his other arm and calls up to the little flit while holding out his arm for it to land on.

Collin pages, "Yeah :) And don't worry.. long talkers make slow typers feel better for not being able to fill the silence as quickly"

Amia looks down at Cole and quiets as he watches the healers do their work. A short swoop and he lands on the trader's arm.. walking up to his shoulder and nuzzles his face, consoling and adding comfort.

Kesara releases Argante, who launches into the air.

Nerak grins as she sees how he is trying to ignore what is going on. "Ok, Cole, here we go, I'm going to have to start touching it now." and she starts to pull the lips of the cut apart, gently, to see just how deep it is. "Ok, I was right, you do need stitches." and she reaches for the numbweed and slathers it on. "This will take just a minute or so to numb the area, so we can stitch it. It might be a good idea for you not to look in this direction if you don't like to see blood..." and thinks, it's always the big ones who faint on you...

Collin reaches up to the flit and strokes his belly with his good arm and says,"What're ye doin'? Ye should be wit' Lysta an' keep her comp'ny..my flits might get jealous y'know," he chuckles and nuzzles the flits head.

Amia fills Cole's head with images of a little blue lizard, and Lysta's doting face.. New firelizard syndrome, ya see.

Kesara nods "Think of pleasant things, and perhaps stare out to sea if you have need" she adds.

From afar, Kesara geez, its gettin sappay in here :p

Collin looks down at the flits head with a knowing smile and then glances up at Kesara,"Sew away, woman..I'll not be a healers pincushion a moment longer'n I need to, waste o' time wit' this little scratch..."

[Healer] Nerak: what's a good size (#of stitches wise) for a forearm cut - the guy was juggling knives... I was thinking about 7? is that a good guess?? anyone??

Kesara raises an eyebrow at being called 'woman' but says nothing. "The needles are wrapped at the bottom of the bag when you need them Nerak," she points out.

[Healer] Aerrin nods. Sounds good. You have a Jman up with you, right?

[Healer] Figol: 7 would be about an inch, maybe a little bit more.

[Healer] Hytiaf: Is it a stab or just a slash?

[Healer] Figol errs, inch an a half.

[Healer] Aerrin: How long is he wanting the cut?

[Healer] Hytiaf wonders if Aerrin is offering to cut for him.

Tydepul giggles at Kesara's expression and Collin's predicament. "Has it been long enough for the numbweed to work yet?"

[Healer] Nerak: oops, Sudanna asked me to take care of it, and I forgot to grab someone. I was 'just walking along the beach' when I saw the man's cut on his arm. I suppose I need to send my fire lizard to get someone... anyone in the hall want to come out to the beach??

[Healer] Aerrin snickers. With my mood right now, I could easily slash people. ;)

[Healer] Aerrin nods - you do. You aren't allowed to do anything on your own

[Healer] Nerak: can I send for you??? I'll keep the knifes away...

[Healer] Aerrin can't right now.. I'm leaving soon.

Nerak *sorry, getting instructions....

[Healer] Nerak: anyone else??

[Healer] Hytiaf is glad she is far away from Aerrin.

Collin pages, "If 'Danna's telling you to make it hurt, don't listen to her lol :)"

[Healer] Nerak: I can log, and send it to someone...

You paged Collin with: Nerak pages, "no, that isn't the case, but some of hte healers are talking about throwing knives now... hehe! :)"

Collin pages, "Uhoh...what did I start now?"

[Healer] Kesara: what about jathen?

[Healer] Nerak: I've got him redworted and numbweeded now, and he is ornery... I need someone fairly quick!

[Healer] Nerak: oh yeah, add more knives to the pot! hehe!

[Healer] Kliara can go. Just to watch. I'll let Nerak do all the work.

[Healer] Nerak: great! thanks! need the practice. Ista beach...

Kliara moves silently in from the courtyard.

Nerak *sorry, someone is coming now...

Kliara strolls out onto the beach, unaware that there's a crisis already there.

[Healer] Kliara laughs. Go for it Nerak.

[Healer] Nerak: thanks!

Nerak taps the area and watches Cole's face to see if he winces; nope, the numbweed's working. She threads the needle, and ties the thread. It's sewing time... "Ok, I'm going to start stitching now... Please hold as still as you can." She begins to make the stitches down his "little scratch" on his forarm, and cuts off each one. Before all is said and done, he seems to need about 7 stitches.

You paged Kliara with: Nerak pages, "I've already had him redworted and put the numbweed on him a few minutes ago, and was testing to see if it had taken effect yet. He really is just calling this 'a little scratch...' and really doesn't want to be tended."

From afar, Kliara laughs. Isn't that the usual way? I've been watching, well, monitoring the healer channel via an alt.

You paged Kliara with: Nerak pages, "I really appreciate you coming down!"

Kesara watches interestedly. "Wow you're a good stitcher, Ner, ever considered weavercraft?" she jokes, trying to keep the mood light even though the time is serious. She blows up her face to move the strands of red that got loose from her hairdo and are in her eyes.

Collin frowns down at the stitches and shakes his head. "This all isn't needed y'know," he decides to throw in one last time.

Kliara moves closer to watch the little drama unfolding on the beach. "So, what's this?" she asks, indicating the scratch or cut/ slice, whatever you'd like to call the little wound on Collin's arm.

Tydepul says, "Too late man, so don't worry about it." Tydepul says in an aside to Kliara "Collin here cut his arm while juggling with knives." Tydepul says, "He didn't want to have these healers stitch it up. =P"

[Healer] Kesara is logging this if anybody wants a copy...

Nerak tries to hold in a laugh " Oh, Hello Journeywoman, this man was juggling his knife, he tells us, and failed to catch one of them. I've been checking it out, and it is definately deep enough for stitches. I redworted it, then added numbweed. Then, as you can see, I stitched it up."

Tydepul adds cheerfully, "But really Cole, it was a good show! I'd love to learn sometime; the juggling AND the throwing part..hehe"

Kliara nods. "Juggling eh? Well, no more irresponsible than getting into a fight in the Mug, I don't suppose. I remember stitching up someone who was knifed in a fight over a woman's dignity one time, oh, turns ago. You know, sir, you'll have a pretty souvenir of this evening, even if they did stitch it up." She nods at Nerak and checks over her handiwork. "Looks good. I trust you also redworted your hands before you cleaned him up?"

Kesara pipes in "And I assisted her!" Not that she made the crucial difference, but still, healing experience was gained, definitely. She smiles up at the Journeywoman.

Collin glances up at Tydepul a little irritatedly. Honestly, him being surrounded by all these healers wanting to stick him with things and she wants to learn how to throw knives. "Maybe, sometime..." he says.

Nerak "Of course I did, cant you see that my hand will be stained red for days!" and smiles. She looks at Kesara "Thank you for holding his arm so well. Have you taken first aid yet? Would you like to bandage it?"

Tydepul says, "Alright!" a little too triumphantly, a little to immaturely.

Kliara nods and gives Kesara a smile. "Well, any healing experience, good or bad is good. If things work well, you've learned the right way to do things, if not, well, you've learned how /not/ to do it." Turning back to Nerak, she laughs. "Actually, if you hadn't, you whole hand would be as numb as his arm."

You paged Kliara with: Nerak pages, "i just didn't say I redworted my hands... oops, that is why I typed that! hehe, trying to stitch him up w/numb hands would have been fun! hehe!"

From afar, Kesara has but cant remember how they said to do it....can i just do it like i'd do it in real life?

From afar, Kliara laughs. It's a jman's job to look at details.

Kesara pages, "take out, wrap, tie, cut...."

Nerak laughs "Yes, I know, I learned that it class, the hard way!" and remembers that class...

You paged Kesara with: Nerak pages, "yep, just do it like in real life..."

Nerak hands the rolled up bandages to Kesara, "Your turn..." and moves over to hold the arm.

Kliara chuckles and stands back to watch Kesara now. "It's all yours."

Kesara nods "Sure, I'd be glad to!" she says, staring down at her red hands as well. She reaches out and obtains the roll of gauzy bandages. Holding Collin's arm in one hand, she wraps the bandage securely but not excruciatingly tightly over the wound several times. Then she cuts the end with a scalpel and ties the ends in a tight double knot. "There you go!" she says, resisting the urge to pat the afflicted part.

You paged Kliara with: Nerak pages, "I like to give her experience as well... I got to do the rest!"

From afar, Kliara nods, nice to share. :)

You paged Kliara with: Nerak pages, "since I can't give him advil, do I give him anything for the pain??"

From afar, Kliara well, you can give him willowsalic tea. But I doubt he'll want to take it.

Tydepul looks interestedly at the healers' handiwork, quite impressed by the neat work and the fact that Cole didn't even twitch during the process.

Collin just pulls the arm back into his own posession and gets up with only a slight murmur of a 'thank you'. "Am I still needed ladies, or will ye be fixin' anythin' else on me tonight?" he says with only a slight smile and a bow,"I'd like t' get back t' work afore it gets too dark out.."

Nerak grins at Kesara "Nice job!" Then turns to Collin "Sir, you should return to the infirmary in about 3 days or so to have the wound re-wrapped, and checked on. I could give you some tea now to take with you, if you'd like, that would dull the pain. Or, you can also go to the infirmary to pick up some medicine if you need it later.

Amia croons encouragingly at the trader. He hops down his arm a bit to look up and project images of a worried 'pet's face. Collin groans with the reminder and says,"Strike that...I need t' finish some work now afore me betrothed finds out I've been hurt an' lays me up in bed fer th' better part o' a month."

Kliara laughs. "Month? You don't need more than a good night's sleep and a little time to heal. Just don't try straining that arm too hard for a few days. Give the stitches a little time to heal."

Amia swings his head to peer at the healer... Nods seriously. he'll tell his pet... he will.

Nerak grins at the man "Well, please take care of yourself, and don't forget to come to the infirmary in 3 days to get it rechecked! It is quite important to make sure it is healing correctly. I hope your betrothed takes good care of you, since you are wounded, injuries tend to bring the nurturing out in all of us!" and winks.

Collin shakes his head,"Tell Lysta I don' need t' be in bed a month..." he says ruefully and starts off back for his tents. He turns back after a second and says,"I really do thank ye...I know I'm not th' best t' put up wit'.." he grabs a small coin purse from his pocket and looks inside. He nods and closes it up and tosses it to Nerak. "Fer th' cost o' both o' yer time and supplies," he states before starting off again.

Kesara nods "Take it easy for a bit!" she reinforces what has already been said.As a flying coin purse comes her way, she catches it. She examines the design on the fabric, admiring the hues of the cloth.

Nerak catches the coin and offers it back to him "We aren't paid for our services, sir, it is part of our code! I appreciate the offer though! You taking care of your arm is all the reward we need"

Kesara laughs. " I /was/ about to say that, " she says, tossing it back up in the air at the same time. "Helping others is always rewarding." she nods.

Collin shakes his head, and tosses 'both' bags back, only slightly off aim and not caring whether they hit the sand or not. He trots off before they can say another word about it, he really feels bad for being a pain when they're doing their job. Once he gets off the beach he goes in the general direction of the trader area.

Kliara *laughs. We don't take money, but Kliara would take the money and run too. I've never been offered payment in my life.

Nerak picks up the bags and takes them. "We can use this to buy more supplies for the infirmary."

Collin walks off the beach towards the courtyard.

Kesara nods, still a bit, unsure of what to do with all that money. "Sure enough..." she trails off.

Collin pages, "I enjoyed it thoroughly :)"

Kliara nods to both Kesara and Nerak. "Well done." before strolling on further down the beach. She's not needed anymore.

Nerak *well, all, it's almost 1am here... and I'm turning into a pumpkin. I need to hit the sack. Night all!

Nerak "Thanks for coming Kliara, I'm glad there was a Journeywoman to watch us!" and whispers to Kesara "and quite glad I didn't mess up while she was watching!" and laughs...

Kliara grins at the two of them. "I remember being an apprentice." Kesara laughs and pats her on the back "Definitely!" her eyes twinkle merrily. SHe picks up the bag she brought out.

Nerak yawns, "Well, I have to get back to the dorm, I can't barely keep my eyes open anymore... Thanks for your help Kesara. Are you heading back too??"

Kesara nods and yaaaawns. "Too right, yup. I'll walk you there." she calls to stray flizzen.

Nerak cleans up her stuff, re-packs her bag and is ready to go...

You walk off the beach towards the courtyard.
