Cami assured Lauri that she would find a room for her friend to stay. "Plus, I myself am a healer skilled in herbal lore, and I will be glad to have a look at the boy's wound and see if I can do anything to help."
Cami went behind the counter and came back with a large case containing herbal remedies and ointments, all neatly arranged in rows. "This is something I brought back from my time on the Lonely Star. We were fortunate enough to sail briefly with the Lady Idril, and she graciously taught me many of her secrets of healing. Before I left, she made this gift to me and another like it for my friend Andril."
Cami had the boy come over and removed the dressing from his head. As she carefully examined the wound, her brow was furrowed with concern. "This looks as if it needs attention." Quickly she went to work, cleaning the wound and applying a healing ointment. "Narello, let me look at this again tonight and see if we have any improvement."
Laurie sat on the edge of her seat, her face a mask of concern. Cami smiled at her, "He'll be fine. I just want to keep an eye on him, and make sure we're going in the right direction. Please take the note to Bag-end, and I promise to keep checking on your friend as long as he's here."
