It had gotten much quieter. Brick wondered what exactly had been said, and if the arguing was finally over. It seemed as good an opportunity as any to totally ruin the moment, and the tea was ready. He washed out the two tin cups as well as possible and poured the tea, wishing that he'd been able to find a third cup for himself.

A few stray thoughts tumbled through his head as he wandered back out of the tent for the third time. The majority of the different types of poultices and makeshift ointments were still a bit beyond his scientific skill, despite the hands-on experience. He would have to do a fair bit more research on his own.

He silently placed one cup of tea each next to Misha and Kianna, then went out to gather firewood. He would ask for Destin's help with his other side project a little bit later.
