[center][h1][color=tomato]Nylah[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] Snow Wraiths, why'd it have to be Snow Wraiths! At least she'd had her magic to use for the occasion, if naught else, but she didn't like them one bit! She'd somewhat preferred their odd encounter with the troll-like creature in the end. At least it was kind enough to them continue on when she'd asked nicely (and a little sternly), and just seemed to find her pretty. Otherwise things hadn't been very eventful, save she had told her mother she'd be gone for a few days before they'd all left the village...though truthfully it still worried her just to leave her mother back there without those daily visits and bringing a bowl of hot food to her bedside for moral support. Akala had assured her well enough too, but she'd had to tell Lazhira about the change of events after promising they'd catch up at their usual spot when she got back! Yes. It was something, alongside seeing her mother again after all of this, that Nylah felt she was looking forward to. They could see the Krysa camp set around the Yaga village proper, but all the same the Mothraki took some pause rather than just barge forward. It all seemed benign enough, yet at the same time she had no idea how- [quote=Still Totally A Normal Human, Totally]“Well, looks okay.” "Maybe one of you should hang back, but I’m going ahead.” [/quote] Wait, what?! Nylah reached out and grabbed Lissa's closest arm and tried to pull her back. It was a relatively sad attempt given the Mothraki's upper body strength, but all the same she did her best. That was all she could do without using magic and potentially drawing attention to them. [color=tomato]"W-W-Wait! If you go in as a merchant, and they've already against Mie and her people, t-then you could be in danger too!"[/color] What if they wanted to just take all the supplies they could? Or what if this thing with Mie made this more wary? They had to have some idea of things in case it went sideways! They had to think of something! And yet, her compatriot seemed rather determined to head in. Indeed, in the end the boldness of the other girl would win out in the end as Lissa did her thing and Nylah stood back with Eirhild. It would elicit a defeated sigh from the Mothraki girl in general, epseically after the other's insistance that a small traveling merchants with little would be 'less of a target and wouldn't register as a good target'. Or something like that. Shaking her head slightly, Nylah looked to her other compatriot who was still there for the time being (at least). Perhaps she could suggest they wait back, in case anything happened to Lissa? Or perhaps they could tail her and play up being visitors from afar or such. She was a Mothraki, not exactly common around here. Plus Eirhild was a dwarf! Maybe that'd work? Or...ah...hmm... ...darn it. She couldn't leave her to just go in alone, could she? That'd be as good as treating Lissa as 'bait', even if it was perhaps safer in her own mind to hang back until Lissa returned. [color=tomato]"As much as part of me wishes for us to stay until she returns, in case anything should go awry...shall we go in with her to assist instead?"[/color] If Eirhild agreed to go along with her, then Nylah would move with her to catch up with and tag alongside Lissa to head into the village. All to keep them together, so at least if something did go wrong they'd have each other in such a case. Otherwise she'd run up to Lissa to catch up and go in anyways. Nylah would even pose herself alongside Lissa as not just a traveling companion, but a young a traveling apprentice herbalist born far from her homeland who wanted to travel the world and learn the craft alongside assisting her traveling companion! Yeah. That'd work, she hoped, since it wasn't a total lie either. Was something she could confidently say for sure. Plus if things weren't hostile, somehow, then she would also be there with Lissa and peddle her herbalism skills at a rather basic level to help sell the act. Not saying anything she couldn't do, but all to help them out in such a case as they got questioned rather than just being nabbed up somehow. Albeit if it went sour they'd all be captives potentially. But it was the risk that she felt she was taking now by jumping into the heart of things with Lissa in this case.

[hider=Personal Info Hider For Nylah] -[b]Herbs/Herbalism Knowledge[/b]: ***Kyr Reed acted as a sort of coagulant as well as sedative. Made people calmer…not particularly useful for treating frostbite on its own, but it was useful for staunching bleeding or injuries. Could be crushed into a paste with a variety of other things to achieve various effects. Wind-Leaf acted as more of a stimulant. When properly mixed with Kyr Reed it made salves and healing poultices good for bolstering the immune system and promoting natural healing. Coral Moss and Slug mucus were a bit harder to find, since the slugs only could be found in shallow water during the day, with Coral Moss being found in damp sea caves off the coast near the Goddess Spear. Slug Mucus was good for making topical salves for alleviating pain, while Coral Moss, when exposed to certain other substances actually heated itself to temperatures good for gentle rewarming of frost-bitten areas. ***Making anesthetics and preparing healing potions and salves. [quote]It’d be easy enough to prepare both of those things especially with the things she had on hand. Fresh water for a base, crush the ingredients, then boil it to a broth. Simple enough, they didn’t have time to refine it. The Salves could be made by taking the same ingredients and crushing them into a paste without the water. Better for topical use on flesh wounds.[/quote] *** *** [hider=Nylah Skills] -[color=tomato]{Enthralling Dust}[/color] (Racial): Mothraki produce a potent pollen like dust upon their wings. Merely by existing they spread this where they go, though it's mostly harmless if not inhaled in large quantities. Causes hallucinations and dulls one's senses. As one may expect, people tend to frown upon this sort of thing. -[color=tomato]{Journeyman Light Magic}[/color]: A magic encompassing pure light and illumination, ranging from harmless orbs to light up one’s path all the way up to rays/beams of light as attacks to even light barriers and other light constructs such as swords and spears and shields and so forth. A versatile magic that does not call upon the fire of the sun, but does have its myriad uses and capabilities. -[color=tomato]{Novice Herbalist}[/color]: Non-magical practices of a healer, ranging from identifying or figuring out the use of new herbs and recognizing familiar ones, to making things like certain poultices and healing-based alchemy/potion-making, to how to handle wounds/injuries and such using these things. [/hider] [hider=Nylah Inventory] -[color=tomato]{Herbalist's Bag}[/color]: A simple leather bag with a well-built shoulder strap, that is filled with a good number of many types of herbs, a good amount of bandages, and finally tools to make tonics, poultices, and potions alongside a scare few pre-prepared ones that are within the bag itself. She usually wears it around most of the time. (EDIT: Has refilled her supplies, with three total healing pots remaining now. Also now has four vials of baby-chameleon-thing poison.) -[color=tomato]{Small Knife}[/color]: A gift from her mother, made with a smoothed-out bone handle and treated with certain oils, mainly used to help cut things like vines and plants when out collecting herbs and so forth. Also a very niche emergency self-defense tool. -[color=tomato]{Food}[/color]: A small pouch sitting on her opposite hip that contains a few strips of preserved game meat and a few dried edible herbs from the local area. Not much in amount, since it was meant to be snacks for heading into the woods to gather herbs before 'that' happened. -[color=tomato]{Wristband}[/color]: A simple little bracelet made of pretty stones dyed in various colors, carefully having had a hole made through each, sitting on a band made of twisted and treated leather strips. Worn on her left wrist and given as a gift to her by her mother. How long it took to acquire or even make is unknown. -[color=tomato]{Cuteness}[/color]: She is a definitely cute moth girl. This is inherent to her existence. Yes. [/hider] [/hider]
