[Ophelia snickered at that, and put Oktavia's bags in the small closet of the guest room.]
...Well, Mistress Lita is right, actually - I'm pretty sure I'm doing OK stuff with basic herbals and cold medinines and washing and binding minor wounds and stuff like that by now, but real midwifery is another thing entirely, brrr...
[Oktavia looked at her, and raised her eyebrows.]
...Ohhh - So you actually know how to do all those things? I mean, I do know how to bind wounds and some basic massages, because I had to learn how to do those as a squire, but otherwise...
[Ophelia grinned at Oktavia, then, and poked at her scaled cheek.]
- Why, you want lessons? Hmmm... I'm not at all sure I'm good enough to actually teach people yet, but I can ask Mistress Lita if you can come with us while we go make herbals and such, if ya want, ha ha ha!
[Oktavia looked at her fish tail, then, and sighed a bit.]
...Oh, I'd love to do that - But it'll be rather hard to gather herbs while I'm still a mermaid, I'm afraid...
[And then, she blinked as an idea struck her.]
- But wait - Do any herbs grow in the sea, so to speak?
[Oktavia blinked, then.]
...Huh, that's a good question! I do know that you're supposed to use different kinds of seaweed in some potions, but...
[Ophelia's parents, in the meanwhile, had opened up one of the bigger guestrooms (which were almost never used) for "Lord Kyle"'s use, and Ophelia's mother was running around the room now, dusting things off.]
...I'm so sorry we don't have any new blankets or sheets, sir...
- Oh, no, that's fine, please, really!
[Kyle said with a smile. Oh, he missed Michelle so much, though, especially while he was pretending to be just an ordinary noble like this - They'd had so much fun, bumping into each other in the oddest of places...]
