Noah nodded along with her as she spoke. He felt the passion she had as she went on, and it drew him in. He had witnessed her compassion and desire to help others first hand on the beach, but he was just starting to understand how truly a part of her heart it was. "In Halo we don't have a lot of medicines. We rely on the healing magic of our mages more often than we rely on what nature has given us." Even the warmth of summer did not grow plants enough for medicine. "It would be interesting to find a way to combat the elements and nature of Halo, to be able to work around it in itself and grow things." He shrugged, some, thinking his ideology too far off to be possible in reality. Noah was many things, but a dreamer was not one of them. He was too tightly wound to what he already knew.
Perhaps exploring the new world could help that. Perhaps Phoebe could help that. "The only life-saving thing I know how to do is stop a bleed and set a bone." At least, it was the only thing Noah had ever been taught. His father made sure to teach him that, even young. He was hardly a teenager when they had their first hunting accident in which Noah's father had had to set the arm and sling it up for the neighbor that had come along with them. noah olson |
