Was Nayru stressed?

No... not exactly.

She just felt as if sometimes she had too much on her plate. Between being the Sawbone, caring for Chad, and attempting to decipher her Grimoire, she didn't have much time to do anything for herself. She didn't exactly have a problem with that per say (especially considering the fact that she brought the latter two upon herself) but she did think that it would be a wise idea to perhaps pick out a Nurse to lessen her own, personal workload. Besides, she could only be in one place at a time. If something terrible happened to many of her clanmates at once - Goddess forbid - she didn't think she could be forced to choose who to heal first and who to let suffer.

[b][color=#6b7e99]"Uh, gather around for nurse tryouts!" Nayru called out in the loudest voice she could muster before delicately placing an array of herbs in front of her. To her left, the encyclopedias that Beck had given her when she first became nurse rested- even more worn than the last time they had been seen by the public eye. [color=#6b7e99]"Oh... and I guess this can be a basic lesson too! It's probably good that you guys know what to do in an emergency."

Chad made his presence known at that moment, waddling out from behind Nayru to rest between her front legs. She affectionately booped him on the snout, glad that he was trying to 'participate' as well. Now she just needed her actual clanmates to arrive.

Morgan trotted toward the trio, excited to learn. The samoyed was planning to go on his first trip as an ambassador, so he needed all the help he could get. "I'd like to learn too. Something for small wounds would be nice." He sat down near Nayru, his tail wagging in anticipation. Giggling, he added, "Maybe I can be a Sawbone someday."

Malphas couldn't be a sawbone. Sure, he respected the craft, but he had his eyes set on bigger goals. He padded up next to Morgan and eyeing Nayru with calm eyes, internally thanking her- and Morgan- for saving his life back then. If it hadn't been for them and the others he would have been a rotting corpse wedged between metal claws.

"I'm just here to learn. In case I get stuck in another of Beck's traps," The male snorted jokingly.

She had managed to lull five in with the promise of learning and honestly, that excited the tiny Sawbone. Though most of them were more interested in simply gaining a better understanding of herbs, her gaze lingered only briefly upon Iota when she realized that she intended to actually try out for the position. Interesting. Very interesting.

Scanning the herbs that rested at her paw, Nayru would delicately lift a marigold stalk for everyone to see. [b][color=#6b7e99]”Yes, everyone will be gaining a better understanding of herbs today. While we don’t often have extreme injuries to worry about, scratches, bumps, and bruises are all pretty typical. Um... so this, this is marigold. You can chew it up to make a poultice. Does anyone know what it’s good for?” She inquired lightly, waving around the herb for all to see. She contemplated passing it around for her clanmates to inspect but thought against it- a damaged herb was an unusable herb after all.

malphas glanced over at the others, then in a shocking decision announced "hey nayru. i changed my mind, lemme try out for that nurse position." would malphas make a good nurse? who knew. he was certainly loyal... and he decided that forcing himself to volunteer would help him get out of his shell.

"marigold. you can use it to disinfect shit, right?" that was one thing he could remember his mother teaching him as a child. he snickered at the thought- he had never used his medical knowledge on himself, even something as simple as a marigold poultice. he liked watching his wounds get infected and they'd drip pus. it was great. "it tastes like shit but you gotta chew it up for the best result."
