There was a voice nearby. Zeus heard the woman coming before she spoke and he and Naomi looked her way. She nodded in agreement. It was going to be getting twice as dangerous soon. She accepted the warmth potion. "Thanks," she said. "I'm still pretty new at this," she added.
Zeus continued into the forest until he found a tiny clearing in front of a small cave. They would need to build the fire outside of the cave since it wasn't very big. But at least they'd have some shelter nearby if necessary. Zeus stopped. Naomi removed a pack from his side to use for a pillow for the man, and placed it on the ground near where they could start the fire.
She turned to the woman, doing the stat checking thing; she still sucked at that, too. She didn't know what the stuff meant half the time. "Can you build a fire?" she asked before helping Zeus with the man on his back. Naomi slid him onto the ground gently and pushed the make-shift pillow under his head. She began to reassess him and his wounds. "These are bad," she said before making quick work of the warmth potion.
Soon the man would begin warming up, even without the fire, hopefully preventing hypothermia or some other awful sickness. She continued talking, to the woman or Zeus, maybe to herself. "I- I can't heal these fully. I'm not strong enough." It was true. Naomi could do a good job of taking his pains away, but she'd have to concentrate really hard, and use a lot of her own energy for it.
She could also quicken the healing process. But she was far from being an expert in her area. She'd get better each time she had to do something like this. She only hoped her current best would be good enough. It hadn't been before...
Naomi repositioned herself and the man. She pulled his head into her lap, sitting behind him. She began focusing all of her energy and power, covering the man's mind like a blanket to give him a false sense of relief over the pain. Perhaps then he would at least be able to tell them what had happened.
Her eyes began to glow dimly as she focused more energy on healing his wounds. Perhaps the fairy would realize Naomi wasn't a very high level, and help her by removing his old bandages and replacing them with new. Naomi couldn't ask her to now, she was too focused. Nothing existed around her now. Another reason for her companion Zeus, who would look out for her now.
((Sorry, went ahead and posted to get you into the woods happy! I didn't know if you'd have enough to respond to without it!))
