Caelum
i've had just enough time"
Names could mean so much.
How a clan, or tribe may choose names could say so much. Her own family had believed in the power of the old language, that it might grow their own. Powerful names for a powerful, a ruling family. It had Caelum pondering on what the young aquatic's people would name for. The names given were elegant, however, many with their own powerful tale to tell. She noted the way the final name had been a painful one, however. In fact, all the names used in the example had been crafted with a variety of emotions. Anger, Love, sorrow. The youth had clearly led a time of terror and trouble. Caelum chose to not broach the subject, knowing that unfamiliarity with an individual could lead to closing things off when topics turned painful. Caelum herself would shut down when her past was prodded for too long. No, she'd let the other have peace, but should she feel like time had come to talk, Caelum would also be willing to listen.
She couldn't not want to help.
It was in her nature to care, and help others. Perhaps it was this that allowed her to immediately think of a potential herb to assist in Polar's condition. Spinach Leaf could assist, in a variety of ways. Especially as winter fell and joints would grow more painful as the weather acted upon them. Caelum offered a soft smile when the Polar North appeared to not be familiar with the herb and its ability, but admitted to a fascination of medicine. "Medicine can be interesting to study, but it can be difficult at times as well, so much to learn, so much to remember. Turmeric can have its' uses, but typically it's better to be used in conjunction with other medicinal herbs as well. I'd recommend mixing it into a tonic of a variety of herbs to help with mobility, pain relief, as well as swelling. Ginger has its uses as well, but it's typically better for exercise-related pains. However, if you make it into a poultice to place upon your hide, it might be a bit better. Especially if you use sesame oil and cinnamon. Perhaps, if just one is not cutting it, you can try combining methods. Perhaps take Turmeric with Spinach Leaf and Dandelion Root, and create a topical application to use nightly to aid keep your tail more mobile?"
It was a new subject to study.
No, that was improper. It was more along the lines that she had someone with a need for assistance. And, well; Caelum could never turn away those in need. Caelum tilted her head quietly when the other admitted to not having really had a mother, her muzzle twisting into a soft frown. Her words came softer this time, gentle and filled with the understanding of someone who had lost someone (many someones) herself; "Death is a painful ailment that affects those left behind . . . . It comes suddenly, and without warning, and unfortunately, it leaves those it touches a second hand to bear the weight of it." Her eyes closed briefly, a steading breath helping to recenter her thoughts, "But, you should also know . . . a mother doesn't ever stop loving her children, and I'm sure yours is looking down upon you even now." A child growing up without their mother was a cruel turn of fate, perhaps just as cruel as her own fate of having outlived her child.
No mother should bury their child.
Caelum was startled to learn that the youth was a medic herself, having placed the mare at a bit younger, and perhaps not yet ready to choose a profession. Of course, as the other suddenly began to spew information and ideas that ranged from learning medication together, to being an assistant to help. Caelum's eyes remained wide as the other spoke, voice quieting into embarrassment until Caelum couldn't help but laugh, her smile warm and understanding, "I believe a Medic's job and learning is never finished, there is always more information to learn, more knowledge to take in. I would be more than happy to learn with you at any point. Perhaps, having someone to study with could assist in making all different kinds of previously unknown uses for the flora around us." Besides, Caelum found the youth enduring.
And perhaps, she just wanted to feel like a mother again.
