Hiding in the Summer Storm (2)
After that day, Luan started to leave the house more often. She doesn't know, what he was doing, but she was clear about his preparation. She couldn't be idly herself and thought about the way she could help him.
She made him promise to not get hurt again, but that was just something to comfort her. The promise was impossible to keep. As long as there is war, injuries will be inevitable.
The herbs picked up in the Forest were much more effective than healing by the priests. However, they couldn't just use the medicine openly, as people were still prejudiced. She could make an ointment for cuts and bruises and hide the original herbs in them, but fever or inflammation are better cured orally, like in the form of tea. The liquids were hard to store, so it was unsuitable for travellers.
