Our first conference is completed, but I am certain it is far from the last.
Delita, Valmafra. I take it that there was no problem in my absence?

[As she says this, the last of the bandages is removed, and she does wince a small bit, before clicking her tongue. Already the needle is in the hot water, sterilizing, and the thread in a safe spot. After gathering her usual materials, she applies some antiseptic on her hands, and then proceeds to first task of stopping the bleeding. Usually the only means to do this is via a compress, but she had read that another proper means was to use a strange sort of tweezers, though Ovelia didn't have one of those. The most she could do was take her own hands and press for a minute or two on the wound to allow the bleeding to at least slow.
...It seemed to be working. Cleaning her hands, she set to work using the antiseptic on each of the wounds (most especially that huge gash), before first applying her usual magical technique (the experimental half-cure that she had used when treating Ser Snake) then sewing each shut with a great precision, though slightly slow to prevent mistakes.]
Did you...apply your bandages yourself, Delita?
[this was when she set to work cleaning each of the sutured wounds, and getting the caked blood out, before applying the clean bandages.]

[a slight gasp as she sews; for all his talk, he is only human]
-but it seems I've found one already.

I am sorry--I am almost done.
[Aaaand now the bandages are being applied...]
It is my pleasure to look after any wounds you may have. Do not hesitate to call on me if you ever need my assistance.
[And finished! Ovelia touches the bandages to make sure that they're nice and tight.
They are.]
Still, you must take care. Even if you do not have a healer nearby, it is important that you apply some antiseptic to your wounds prior to bandaging them. And they were a bit loose--make sure they are tight enough to not only stay on the wounds, but also to where they can provide some assitance as a hemostatic measure.
Though the problem is that many can make them too tight. A balance is important.

Where does a princess learn these things?

Medicinal arts were part of my education in the Monastery.
[though that was magical rather than practical, but Delita doesn't have to know that.]
Though I shall be honest and say that it was also due to my own personal enjoyment of it.

...Though of course...
Delita could be using her again. She's very aware of that.]
That would be wonderful! I...I am not so skilled, but I would be most honored to accompany you, and be of any assistance that I am able.

...Thank you, Delita. Truly.
Your kindness...means more than I can say in words.

For you, no kindness can be too great.

You are too kind. I deserve not such words and attentions, but...
Thank you.

If... you'll excuse me, Princess. I shall take my leave.
[And he's hurrying away.]

She gets up quickly, and dashes to the door, throwing it open, calling out to him.
She's not sure if he's even in earshot--she's not paying attention.]
Delita!

Yes?

I suppose you would fancy wandering the castle in a state of undress, milord? It seems that you have left your armor in my chambers.

Leave it, then. I shall send a servant for it later. For now, I'm afraid I tire.
