I'm ready to bleed to make amends
And sleep in this dirt we call our bed
So tell me your secrets
And join me in pieces
To fall and rewrite the bitter end
The treats were so sweet, unlike anything he’d ever had before. It was a decadent sweet, different to that of fruit; sticky and overwhelmingly tasty. He couldn’t help but sniff them looking for more of the one he had tried first. This time he would be aware of his flakey nature and try not to inhale his food. He found one and carefully bit it in half, chewing and savoring the taste. He eyed the inside of what was left, he still couldn’t figure out what it was. “What is this?” he asked, still chewing the treat. “Oh yeah you should have seen it when I first fell, I was still coughing and sneezing soot directly mixed with boogers.” he said replying to her comment about damage to his respiratory system.
Occasionally a soft gasp or a snort would escape his mouth as he did his best to hold still and be treated. He was thankful for her attention and kindness. He would need to find something that she needed, that he could give her in return for this help. She was obviously very skilled and he felt safe under her care.
He watched her refill the hot liquid holding device. He lapped at it with his tongue. Relieved that it wasn’t more of the previous mixture. This one tasted almost like a plant with something sweet. It was soothing on his throat. The next choices of food that were put before him were also new experiences. The one with different grains smooshed together was appealing but very filling. Before long he felt like he couldn’t eat anymore. How quickly one could get filled up on little things when you wanted to try one of everything. But nothing else was quite as tasty as that super sweet flakey thing he had eaten first. He knew now that this was his favourite so far. He also knew that the medicine tea was his least favourite of things served to him.
He nodded softly as she continued to work on his wounds. Soon he was all wrapped up. “I guess I gotta stay out of the water for now?” he asked with a soft smirk. “Everything feels a lot less painful, and I am very full. Thank you.” he said sincerely. He hadn’t been so comfortable in a very long time. He almost didn’t dare to stand that it might bring back his discomfort.
