My Adventures In Philia

Changing and Mending

The wild boar is finally taken care of and I don't know how long it was to do it. But that's not important right now. Since the others and I were distracted by the monster, we didn't have the chance to check up on Nean. Hopefully, she is alright.

When Nean decided to fight the boar on her own, I was frightened knowing that she might get herself hurt or worse than that.

But I do know that she's right, we are adventurers after all. Meaning we would be encountering many battles to come and might get injured in the end either way.

As both Cobalt and I went over to Lexi who was with Nean, we found the little archer unconscious as her body was holding her up against the tree bark.

The wild boar must've had knocked her out.

According to Lexi, she checked Nean to see if she have any severe injuries on her body but thankfully she doesn't, which made me sigh in relief.

====================================

Cobalt and Lexi helped lay Nean on the flat hard ground, using Cobalt's scarf as a small fold-up pillow for her head.

I rumbled through my bag to see if I have any spare healing potions left since I need to remind myself to restock.

Nean needed the extra strength after all.

Within about a minute, I finally found a healing potion that had a small label sticking on the glass bottle.

EMERGENCIES ONLY

____________________________________

This healing potion can only be sure in case of emergencies, judging by the label. And you never know when you needed it.

But since this is the only potion I have, I had no choice but I know for sure that this is for a good cost.

As I opened the bottle, a strong whiff of the potion's liquid reached directly into my nostrils.

The potion didn't smell bad, meaning it's not expired yet.

Suddenly, I heard a quick and loud sneeze coming from Cobalt who is wiping his nose with his sleeve. He must have inhaled the smell too.

"Bless you!" Lexi told the Mystic Boy.

Taking the potion in my right hand, I used my other hand to tilt Nean's head upwards for her to help her drink.

As the light blue liquid drained out and entered Nean's mouth, I took the empty bottle away and take another look at Nean's unconscious body.

Her clothes were covered in dirt, along with a few noticeable rips and tears. She even had a spot of mud on one of her cheeks.

"She is going to be okay, right?" Lexi asked me as she frowns.

"My potions usually take a few minutes to relieve the body. But don't worry, she would be okay." I explained as I let Nean's head lay on the folded scarf.

The little sword kid looked down and mumbled, "She isn't the first time she was this hurt."

Did something like this happen before we met? Now that she mentioned it, I never knew what kind of trouble they had to go through even though they are kids.
