Really don't feel like having a conversation with her about farming, so I don't put in that doctoring the animals was Jacob's skill, and that I never wanted to touch anything that was his.
She feels the need to lecture me as she bandages me up none too gently. Girl must have a heart of ice, and I pity her husband for it. Her brothers, too, if she did practice healing on them. I nod to her orders, knowing that answering back will just get me another tart suggestion.
She sets out honey and another roll of bandages on the counter, and what she's asking isn't too much more than I think they're worth, so I don't try to dicker with her over the price. Besides, a girl with a tongue like that could probably bargain a cat down from a tree.
Do thank her, but don't say much more before I gather up my things in my good hand and leave. I think about poking my head in the salon to see if Verite's in the mood for me, but I don't think I could stand it if she's not. Not with my hand still throbbing and my ears full of how I shouldn't have let it get that way. Maybe tomorrow.
