Ariel smiled and took a breath in to respond, before stopping herself and looking down and to the side with her brow lowered a little. She raised her hand slightly and breathed in again, but then just looked further away and bit on her tongue. It was as if she was remembering things before committing to words. "Uhm... I [i]could[/i] make some more, I think, but it may not be exactly the same." She brightened up and looked at Ahnasha with a confirming smile, "I'll see what I can do."

Without much else to do that evening, Ariel decided to head back to the camp to unpack some of her alchemical equipment and take stock. She sighed as she found that a couple of key ingredients for the salve were not amongst her supplies, and she had not brought along the oil that she usually used as a fragrance in such mixtures. Nevermind, there were plenty of ingredients in the Marsh, and even if she couldn't find known substitutes for the ingredients, Sabine had done nothing but try everything she could see. She was bound to have found something.

When everyone walked away from the Hist tree, Sabine remained for a little while. Though apprehensive, she stepped up to the tree so she was almost up against it and looked at it closely as well. She checked over her shoulder one last time, before she brought her hand up and ran her fingers gently down its surface. The tree stood silent, seemingly not reacting to anything. Suddenly, Sabine's fingers accidentally dislodged a tiny flake of the tree's bark, which caused her to jump back. She sighed at herself through her nose, it was just a tree. She headed back to where she had been experimenting, sitting opposite Ariel as she ground ingredients for some more salve.

By the spot that Meesei had suggested, Fendros disrobed and entered the water. As soon as he could, he waded to a point where it was deep enough to dive and submerged himself, hands first. The cool relief from the humid heat washed over him and he surfaced feeling far more awake and refreshed than before. He swum to find Ahnasha and the salve jar to get started. It took some effort to get enough of the salve out of the jar, but at least it didn't dissolve in the water. "You know, all this talk of fur reminds me of something. You remember in the hot spring on Vvardenfell, you mentioned something about a beard. What did you say again?" Running his hands over both her shoulders, he looked at her with a smile, "Now, where on your back does it hurt?"
