- sigh. She does not kick Segda out.

Segda is little and feathery and warm. It sleeps.

- all right. This is all right. It'd be really nice for someone to come and find her by now but this is all right.

Nobody from home finds her overnight. The owner of the spare room will charge extra for breakfast porridge if they want any.

"We're all right, thank you."

"All right. Shoo during the day, I don't want it scaring people."

"Of course." They have a designated spot to wait for injurees anyway.

There are some injurees, although they may be slowing down; the initial wave could have been more people than are usually injured on a single day, who were waiting for slower natural healing till magical options popped up. She gets to cure a suspiciously domestic set of bruises and a person kicked by a horse and a broken tooth.

She will do those people and then ask around if there are bigger towns than this one. Even smallish cities have a couple priests with divine healing, right? She should know the answer to that. She doesn't actually recall the answer to that.

Amilu is the biggest for a ways around but if she wants to travel a long way she can go to the Tiger Emperor's capital, Miaoma, to the north, or back through Yarisong and then farther in that direction to Rangqu.

...and maybe this is the highest population density and standard of living you get if you don't have arcane or divine magic. 

That's so frustrating. She thanks them and then loiters hoping for more injuries.

There's someone who wants a discount because he's only got a split nail.

"It's not any easier for me to do."

"It's not worth full price to me."

"All right, today's not that busy."

He gives her half price and thanks her and pats Segda on the head as he goes.

"Segda, you want to try to learn a cantrip again?"

"Will I be able to do it this time?"

"I don't know."

"I'll try."

"Thank you." She pulls out the chart.

It squints at it.

She will attempt again to advise on how to read it though she's really not a magic teacher.

"This is sooooo complicated."

"I'm sorry. It's cool once you've got it."
