He waited as his words were translated, then stepped back to let the healers take over and decide who would receive what. He stepped back beside Envy, Ysaryn the only one of the three of them still making her rounds. As the woman expressed her relief when given the stone, Ruli turned toward Envy, who must have sensed his attention. The Kartaian nodded, frowning slightly. That the effects of the fevers and voices were dimmed by the presence of their charms was good for the ill, but not great news overall. Whatever Solaralai was using to reach into Amria, divine or not, was also strong magic. "We can work on a few more." Envy offered, while Ruli quietly watched. "Cater them to the effects." "Could you not make ward around tree?" Ysaryn asked, pausing next to one of the women in the back. She breathed deeply a few times, studying the woman. "[i]This one has an infection. Unrelated, I believe. Pleasure area.[/i]" She wiggled her fingers over her own groin before she moved on. Ruli glanced toward Kire, eyebrows raised. "I'll let you translate that however you want." He cleared his throat. "[i]She may just be pregnant.[/i]" Ysaryn added, circling the next cot. "[i]Humans smell so foul all the time, its hard to tell the difference between good or bad, at times.[/i]" "[i]Ed is such a lucky guy.[/i]" Ruli snorted, and she offered him a dark look. Kire's joke made Ruli smirk at her, before he chuckled at Gavin's response to it. He studied Kire for a moment, admiring the way she faced this uncertainty with her head high, her mouth set in determination as she fought to understand what was happening to her people. She didn't send people to do it for her. She was here, among the stricken. Ysaryn's softly cleared throat tore his eyes off the empress, and he glanced at the elf to see her smirking at him. He gave a quick shake of the head, hoping she wouldn't tease him for whatever she saw in his face. Just then, Kire looked around at him, and Ruli wiped his expression into neutrality. "Yeah, we'll bring more. Might take me a bit to travel around and gather them." He offered, watching as she inhaled in a similar way as Ysaryn and turned toward the boy. He and Envy both tilted their heads at once. "Burning pine?" Envy inhaled deeply, remaining where he was. "No." He admitted. He shifted his weight, clearly desiring to get closer, to inspect, but also far too aware of his appearance to approach an nervous child. "Only sweat." Ysaryn answered, circling back to the boy to inhale the air as she passed, to avoid surrounding the child. Another shake of her head. "I want this skill of Kirai's. To smell magic." "[i]You could smell Etta[/i]." Ruli pointed out. The elf clicked her tongue. "[i]No. I could smell her blood. Strong blood, in that one. Just as I can smell whatever your blood is.[/i]" Ruli frowned at her, then looked back toward Kire. "Gavin and I can work on a few more charms, and discuss the possibility of circling the forest." Envy said, changing the topic. "But I'm hesitant without knowing more about it. If it is growing, if it will change its temperament when it senses what we're doing." If [i]she[/i] changes her temperament, he meant. "It might be wiser to ward the camp." "The locals may not welcome more magic." Ruli offered. "Especially if the forest is telling them not to let ours near."
