Kaleeth had no idea how to handle the situation, for more reasons than one. If she tried to comfort Vera, the children would probably notice, but she was not sure if she could just do nothing. It was frustrating not knowing what she could do, and when she finally did speak up, both her tone and the look in her eyes showed that she was confused and nervous. She just hoped that moving on to a new topic would help her at least get her mind off of everything that had happened. "So, uh, how long do the children usually practice on their own? I have never been in a...class like this." Kaleeth asked. Meesei looked to Sabine reassuringly. "Do not worry, I will make sure it is healed properly, but these lessons are quite important. If you fight for long enough, injury is unavoidable, and knowing how to heal can mean the difference between life and death for yourself or your allies. Not only that, but in learning to heal, you also learn all of the intricacies of the body, all of its strengths and weaknesses. Now, let us find some place quiet." It was not difficult for the pair to find a suitable room nearby. It was not entirely empty, as it looked like it was used for something, even if it was just storage, but there was no one currently using it. The main reason behind starting the lesson was so Sabine could stay nearby to her experiment, but while they were waiting, there was no harm in actually going through with the lesson. Meesei sat herself down on the floor just in front of Sabine as she began. "Restoration, just like with most forms of magic, is about the understanding of your subject. In this case, the body. For the convenience of learning, we start with your body, that of a female Breton. Of course, the races of Humans and the races of Elves are not greatly different from one another, so knowledge you learn from one can be applied to another, in many cases. You may need to spend some time studying the anatomies of Khajiit and Argonians to fill out your knowledge completely, but for now, we shall start with you. To master healing, you will learn everything about the body: how the muscles interact with each other and how they connect to bone, where every organ is, what they do, and what they are made from. Every minute detail can be important. I cannot say it is easy, and it is sometimes an...unsettling topic to learn about, but I do have to say, there is a certain beauty to the inner workings of our bodies. They demonstrate how truly complex we all are." Meesei explained. To begin the lesson, she reached out and grabbed Sabine's wounded hand. "For this lesson, let us start with pain, since it gave you trouble last time." Meesei began, pausing to numb Sabine's hand with a minor restoration spell. "In general, one cannot die from pain, and in an emergency, your first priority should be the wound itself, but it is easier for all involved if the pain is not an issue." Meesei released her hand, allowing the pain to return to it. "The most important step to understanding pain is understanding what causes it. It may seem like your skin, and the flesh underneath, can simply feel pain, but that is not the case. The flesh itself does not feel, but rather, it is an incredibly small, long organ that spreads throughout your entire body, in much the same way as your arteries and veins. They are invisible to your eyes, but with magic, you can perceive them. Try practicing looking inside yourself with your magic, as I taught you. Try to feel the slight presence of magicka within your body, feel how your energies are disrupted around the wound. If you have trouble, you might try taking your dagger and pressing on your skin until you feel a slight amount of pain, then see if you can feel what changed." "Yeah, I guess." Lorag answered, taking a step forward and looking over the Dunmer. "Harriet's got the right of it. Be aware of your reach, and your enemy's. When you're not attacking, you want to be outside the other guy's reach. Usually, where they'd have to take a step forward if they wanted to hit you. That means they'll have to telegraph more if they want to hit you, which gives you time to react. The place you definitely don't want to be is where you can't hit them, but they can hit you. If you're in that spot, then either back off, or push forward, but do somethin' quick. If your weapon's shorter than theirs, then push the attack quick to get in range. A shield's great for that, so make sure you use it. Also, be more aggressive. A good defense is important, but it won't win the fight alone."
