Description: Veerona falls and Jylanya helps her up.
Location: Dolphin Hall
Date: month 6, day 3 of Turn 6
Running down the hallway, she almost slipped as she turned a corner.
Reaching another hallway, Veerona giggled as she went. Unfortunately,
the floor had been waxed recently and it did cause her to slip that time.
Landing on her hands and knees with her skirt flying up around her head,
she was quiet for a moment. Then her lower lip started to tremble.
"Oops," said Jylanya as she bent over the young girl. "Here, let me
take a look."
Seeing Jylanya there made her feel a little better, but it still hurt. And
what if someone had seen her underthings? That shocked her into
embarrassment and she got quiet as she offered the headwoman her hands
and knees.
A soft smile curved Jylanya's lips as she brushed the dress back into
place and then attended to the skinned knee. One was simply red, the
other might need some attention. "Here," she said softly. "Let's see
to this."
She picked Veerona up and carried her back to her room and set her on
a chair before retrieving her small kit. She knelt down and smiled
again. "You're so brave."
"Is that the stuff that burns?" she said, eyeing it with trepidation. She tried to scoot to the other side of the chair. Vee hated the burning stuff. She also hated the stuff that tasted like fish.
"No honey," she smiled. "See? It's the red one. That just cleans it up
real good. Then we put just a little of this other to numb the sting.
Helps if you blow on it just a bit."
Jylanya dabbed on the redwort to cleanse the wound from her tiny pot
and blew on the scrape for effect.
Vee tried to be brave. She squinched her eyes shut for a bit then finally
opened them. "Can I maybe have a candy now?" Her question was quite
hopeful since she had been through so much.
Jylanya bit her lips to hide the smile at the oh so obvious attempt.
"Maybe after lunch. It's all ready for you."
Veerona gave a long suffering sigh. Trying one last pitiful look, she gave in and reached around her fostermother, burying her head in the adult's clothes. When she was done showing her affection, she nodded. "Allright, lunchtime."
Jylanya stood and followed the child into the other room to join her for lunch.
