"Ah, that is right," Sabine said with a nod.

Sabine looked up, holding her dagger by the flat of the blade and tapping the handle against her other palm. She was thinking about how to begin when Peiter asked about the dagger. To his concerns, she smiled and let out a small laugh through her nose. "Probably both of us," she responded, "I will need to demonstrate for you, and then you will have to try. Do not worry, I will make sure it does not hurt."

Once she knew how to give a recap, Sabine explained to Peiter how the life force inside one's body reflected its physicality and could be observed with magicka. With properly placed restoration magic, a mage may manipulate and energise one's life force to heal their wounds more swiftly, though they must understand how the local body part works to heal it most efficiently. The first practical part of the lesson was having Peiter inspect Sabine's hand before and during a cut she placed on her palm and the treatment of it. Soon enough, they moved to inspecting Peiter's hand so he could try. His techniques were less refined, so the healing took longer and left a small scar. However, true to her word, Sabine numbed his hand during the lesson. Healing with the distraction of pain required more practice.

Tzirret's grip on Ma'tanza's hand loosened when he listened. There was still a possibility that Ma'tanza would be ordered to fight, but for now, Tzirret felt as though he could relax. [i]"It sounds like S'nishi will be fine, then,"[/i] Tzirret commented. In proper response to Ma'tanza's decision, Tzirret brought his other hand to hold Ma'tanza's hand as well gave it another short squeeze, and then looked to Ma'tanza gratefully. [i]"Thank you for listening to this one."[/i]
