hand drifted to her middle. “It’s not
something that can really be cured, not unless
I had a healer at my side day and night, easing
the nausea.”
“It’s become that bad?” Elide frowned.
“Terrible timing, I know.” Yrene sighed.
“The best options are ginger—anything
ginger. Which I would rather save for the
upset stomachs of our soldiers. Peppermint
can help, too.” She gestured toward her
satchel. “I have some dried leaves in there.
Just put some in a cup with the hot water and
I’ll be fine.” Behind them, a small brazier
held a steaming kettle, used for disinfecting
supplies rather than making tea.
Elide was instantly moving, and Yrene
watched in silence while the lady prepared the
tea.
“I could heal your leg, you know.”
Elide stilled, a hand reaching for the kettle.
