IT’S EASIER THAN ONE MIGHT THINK to lose something valuable to them, such as a trinket, or a book. a lost item reveals more about the owner if you know them well enough, but she is left perplexed at the item she holds safely between delicate hands: medicinal herbs, used to soothe aches and pains that run deep.
at first, her journey takes her to the obvious, fellow faith users that excel in healing like herself, but is left surprised when she’s informed that no, it does not belong to them. still, she doesn’t give up, and she’s found herself asking anyone she knows in the hopes of finding its owner. though, the more she struggles, the deeper her concern runs. medicinal herbs are used on more than one occasion, in the hope of treating an injury carried with them through the years, or weren’t given the option to heal correctly.
but then a thought occurred to her.. after all, why doesn’t she ask him? him, who she became acquainted with since they started their journey at the academy, someone who has been naught but kind to her. perhaps her footsteps quickened at the idea of seeing him, but when he finally comes to view, his name on her lips soft and yet filled with delight, his gaze meeting her own brings forth a smile that she couldn’t hold back.
hand outstretched, the medicinal herbs rest in her open palm unharmed, kept protected, and though she couldn’t read the expression on his face, she at least gets the notion that this is indeed his. once she’s close to him, she offers her hand to him, giving back what belongs to him. ‘ I’m just happy that it made it back to you, ‘ she offers, sheepish at his thanks. however, the concern from earlier creeps back within her mind, and she wants to ask; he’s nowhere near being a healer, with his axe being his weapon of choice. for all she knows, maybe he carries it with him as a precaution, but if she can help...
‘ Sousuke, if I may... ‘ a slight hesitation in her voice, lips slightly losing grip on that radiant smile that quickly gives way to concern. she should just leave the topic alone, but she cares too much to let it go unnoticed.
‘ it’s rare, to see someone carry medicinal herbs outside of battle. are you hurt? ‘
