Sabine smiled and confirmed with a nod. "Yes, I am. It is my passion. Actually, I have some with me here..." Sabine looked into her shoulder bag and rummaged through until she pulled out what looked like a waterskin, but much smaller and evidently filled with something thicker than water. She held it out to Ma'tanza, "A small amount of this might help. I normally make some for when we travel long distances, but I can make more. It is easy."

That was the point at which Tzirret knew he had to escape. If Ma'tanza started applying Sabine's ointment right in front of them, he knew he would be caught staring. As much as he might have wanted to watch, he did not want to insult Ma'tanza a day after meeting her. The last thing he wanted was to alienate his new friends after going through the adversity of actually walking up and talking to them. "Uh...Peiter!" Tzirret said, walking up to Peiter and taking his arm, "Tzirret was wondering if you could spar with him, he needs to practice." Tzirret attempted to pull Peiter away somewhat forcefully, but as they moved, he leaned to his ear and rasped quietly, "Can Tzirret ask you something quickly?"
