Pol frowned as she listened to her mentor. It hurt her heart to hear that the mare was feeling ill and not taking anything that would help. "While I can understand the thought behind it, not treating yourself could end up harming others. What if you were to ill to see an emergency patient? While our hearts are for those that we help, we also need to remember to help ourselves." She shook her head gently and then gazed at the mare. "What has been helping? When you actually take something... That way I can make sure to try to get as much as I can so you can treat yourself as well as the rest." The younger mare knew she shouldnt push... this was her first day in the clinic with her new mentor after all... but she hated that she hadnt been taking proper care of herself.

"It wasnt easy, and I know I made some mistakes in the realm of trying to help... but it pushed me to learn more." The young mare admitted as she watched what Lu was doing.

The day of work was busy, but Pol thrived under the constant work. She loved to be immersed in her work and helping others. Probably a part of why she wanted to help Lu as well. When the older mare finally closed the door, Pol stopped moving and just allowed herself to breathe.

"Busy is not always bad. It makes me feel like I am really accomplishing something and helping others when there are a bunch of them that come through. I learned much through the day, and am so thankful you offered to teach me more." She answered honestly, though she was still waiting to see if she could help Lu more than just as a hand in the clinic. She wanted the elder healer to be healthier at the very least, and found that she looked up to the other mare as if she was an aunt or even a mother figure for her.
