[font=trebuchet ms]Nemhain's arrival was a welcome sight, even if Rin was pretty sure Nemhain already had access to all of her knowledge. The more Elysites who attended the session, the better. Rin dipped her head in greeting to the persona, then glanced over towards Lemy as he approached- just in time to hear his quip about how often she got herself injured. Shaking her head, she turned back towards the stuffed cat she'd brought over. There was no point in offering a snarky reply if he couldn't hear it.
Talons scraping against rock drew her attention over to Sanzu. "No, there's no taste testing," Rin answered, stepping in front of the leaves. "These are here for identification purposes." If this were summer, perhaps they could actually try making poultices, but right now the herbs were too scarce.
As Valerian and Mistrim took their seats, she nodded to each of them. This was enough to start with, she figured. Setting down the stuffed toy in front of the group, with the tear in its stomach facing them, she stood back and began, "Okay, here's what I'm going to do- I'm going to give you a scenario, and I'll walk you through what to do in each case, but I'll ask questions every so often to see what you know." She had been hoping to set this up so that each participant would give their own ideas of what to do for every step before she gave the final answer, but considering that one of the audience members couldn't hear, she'd just have to lean more towards physical demonstration/lecture.
Glancing down at the toy, she went on, "First scenario: you find someone with a wound, such as a stomach wound, that is deep enough to pose an immediate danger of them bleeding to death." Removing a bandage from her bag, she lifted it up with her telekinesis so the others could see. "The first thing you do, before anything else, is stop the bleeding," she said, placing the bandage on the "wound" and pressing down on it. "A bandage is best for this, but most fabrics will do in a pinch as long as they're clean. Applying pressure to the wound will staunch the bleeding, but there are a few cases in which you shouldn't apply pressure directly- can any of you think of some?"
