FTEC, Monday Morning

[headologist.livejournal.com]

The goats had arrived that morning and were rather displeased after the interdimensional travel, so Granny had to spend some time soothing them. When they were finally convinced that no, the ground wasn't going to get all stretchy and snap them somewhere new, she felt comfortable leaving them alone and headed over to the clinic.

Granny occasionally let her mind wander when no one was in the clinic, but just across town to check on the goats.

After dealing with Appo and any urgent business at the town hall, Tex limped over to the clinic. Something she probably should have done sooner.

Granny waved Tex into an exam room when she saw her. "My," she said, looking at the injury. "How did you do this?"

[occ: Describe the injury for me, por favor?]

"Got shot," Tex said simply, not going to offer more information than the bare facts.

Granny cleaned up the wound, stitched it shut and bandaged it tightly, then traced a symbol over the bandage lightly with her finger. She fetched a pair of crutches from the storeroom and a white ribbon from her satchel. She tied the ribbon around Tex's shoe with a neat knot and passed her hand over it several times, muttering under her breath.

"All right," Granny said, handing Tex the crutches. "You'll be fine in no time if you follow my instructions. If it continues to bleed, I want you back in here tomorrow morning for an inspection. If not, come back in a week to get the stitches out. Keep it clean. Bad spirits can get into wounds through dirt. And don't let that," Granny pointed to the ribbon, "touch the ground or all the healing will fall out of the leg."

Tex stared at her. "Oh man, is this some of that newest age crap?"

"Oh, no," Granny scoffed. "This here's good old-fashioned witchcraft." She gave the foot a pat.

"Witchcraft? Right," Tex shook her head and used the crutches to get back to her feet. "I'll try to keep the bad spirits away." She didn't sound too convinced.
