His cousin and the group's captain was the main person he sought to impress with this whole lesson, so he knew that he needed to get these right. Smiling a little sheepishly, the boy stated firmly as he nodded his head, "Ah... yes! Your bones can definitely break in different ways. The most common and "best" way is probably a clean break, since that can just be dealt with in the way I talked about earlier. But there's also comp... compo... compound fractures. That's when a bone breaks in multiple places, so you need to make sure it's set in both! There can also be cases where the bone splits and splinters... in that case you gotta take the bone chips out of the wound before you bandage it. Sometimes that makes it so that a limb can't be saved, but it's better than a wound getting infected because it had bone in it..." Roan grimaced a little at the thought of an infected and splintered bone. He knew he'd have to not be squeamish if he was gonna be a healer, but he was pretty sure anybody would shy away from that.
He then focused on her follow up question, chewing on his lip before he answered, "And... well, if you don't have any comfrey root, you can also use broom, which are these big bushes with little yellow flowers... I don't have any of it right now, but it can also be made into a poultice! If you don't have any of those, you can just clean and bind the broken bone as best you can and apply a poultice later... but that's a worst case scenario, since most medics know where to get that stuff, like how I got the comfrey root!" He puffed his chest out a bit proudly as he finished talking, glancing over at Roxie briefly. He was intrigued to see if his mother was as proud of him as he currently felt.
