Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Kerobian is complaining of abdominal pains and there is swelling in the region of where many creatures have an appendix. I have no experience in treating d. miners other than the little I've recently acquired. None of which covers invasive surgery."

Shar looks around. "In here, I'm afraid. I can sterilize the table and we could use it. Ignore Master Talesian. He won't be a bother. Won't even know what's goinbg on, I'm afraid. He's out cold. I gave him a sedative. Another reason I needed to summon you. I can't simply cut him open without some form of okay."

Shar looks around in a panic. "Master Mica, did you see him slip away?" she cries frantically.

The elderly priest was cleaning off the table in anticipation of it's need and shakes his head. "He was just here a second ago. He couldn't hae gotten far."

Shar drops to her knees and gently pulls him out. "Kero, there's nothing to be afraid of. Come, Let Master Hopian look at you, while I get my instruments/"

"Fine... I won't cut you... Brother MIca will..." says Sharmistra agreeably.

What?" echo all three males in alarm.

Sharmistra sighs. "I'm not sure what's going on here, Kerobian. I've never done anything harmful to you and I never will. I'm a healer, remember? But if you don't get operated on your appendix might rupture and if that happens you will die. No ifs... no maybes... no nothing... an inflamed appendix isn't anything to laugh at. So you are just going to have to trust me... "

She stands there with her hands on her hips. "You won't even feel it. I promise you. I can give you something to make you sleep... like I did your guardian. True it will be a bit painful for a time afterward, while you heal, but the good thing about getting your appendix out, is that you'll never have to worry about having it rupture again. I'm trying to save your life here... not end it."

Sharmistra nods and runs to her still room for the necessary ingredients to render him unconscious, plus a bottle of disinfectant. Re turning, she begins to scrub down the table while instructing Hopian on how to brew the medicinal.

After, and only after, Kekrobian has taken the mixture, she gather together the surgical instruments from a nearby cabinet and placing them in a shallow tray, pours boiling water over them from the tea kettle. Then she covers the table with a sterile cloth. She keeps a close eye on the cub and when he s hows signs of nodding off, she gently picks him up and places him on the table, assuring him he will not feel a thing.

"Never..." says Sharmistra softly, placing her hands on his abdomen and calling on her talent in order to numb the tissue beneath them.
