Welcome to the Arztenritter

[baldrshand]

Who: Ethlyn + anyone interested in healing + anyone else
Where: A clinic near the edge of town
What: Arztenritter healing brigade training! Feel free to put up your own toplevels too.
Warnings: None


The Willow Clinic wasn't the one nearest the center of town in Aldrip--more towards the fields, and crucially, near a horse paddock as well. It was where Ethlyn had found employment as one of the clinic's standing healers and where she'd first proposed the idea of what she now liked to call the Arztenritter--"doctor-knight" in old Jugdrali--who could ride out all over town and beyond it in case of emergency medical needs.

After starting on the idea with people she already knew and putting up flyers around town for a general interest-and-training day, Ethlyn made her way to the clinic bright and early in the morning to get things set up for a day of medical and horsemanship training combined.

Shionne Imeris ⛤ Tales of Arise

[thornygunner]

⛤ Clinic ⛤

It takes Shionne a few days of agonizing self-flagellation to finally head over to the clinic that Ethlyn has put on the fliers. She likes the idea. It's responsible and helpful for not just the natives of Expiation but for all of the Chosen. And, well, she's never made any difference between peoples back home, so she's not about to start now. She wants to help, even if she doesn't vocalize it. It's just something good to do.

She's hesitant before she enters, but eventually she gathers up enough courage to walk inside, looking as if she's just there to look around.

"Hello? Is there anyone here?"

⛤ Horse riding ⛤

As someone from a world where horses are seen more for their nutritional value, riding horses still seems strange to Shionne, but she does like the idea of not having to walk everywhere. She just doesn't know if she can ride a horse.

When it's her turn, she stares at the beast and then at the person beside her. "Can't I just ride in a cart?"

Horse Riding

[sisterlyshield]

Kisara is not actually here to learn how to ride horses, but she is here to provide some support. Shionne may act as though she doesn't need it, but evidently her blonde-haired companion thinks to the contrary. As a result, when Shionne speaks up, Kisara gives her an encouraging smile.

"If you were just going to do that, then why actually be here?" Kisara asks with a hand set atop her hip. "It's going to be fine. There's nothing wrong with learning something new, right? I'll be right here to make sure nothing happens that shouldn't be happening."

If she can stop a full-grown man with her shield, surely she can stop a horse. Maybe. Probably.

To be honest, Shionne does appreciate the backup that she gets from Kisara. Even though she tries to push the others away, they're all so damn insistent that they're going to be in her life, no matter what she thinks. And, it's tiring to keep pushing them away all the time when she doesn't really want to do it.

"I... I want to be useful, but I don't want to have my curse get in the way."

She's already hurt law and some wolf zeugels who were just trying to have fun. However, she's so worried that she isn't paying attention and when the horse backs into her, she lets out a shout that is quickly covered by the sound of the horse crying out in pain and rearing up on its back legs as it thrashes.

It’s a valid concern and one that appropriately puts Kisara on a moment’s pause. With a hand poised at her chin, she gives a short, understanding nod.

“They have saddles, right?” A breath more and she continues. “I don’t really know anything about riding much of… anything, but I imagine they’ll give you something to control them with and it might not require you to touch them directly? I can always help you up, as well.”

Better for Shionne to hurt a willing friend than an innocent horse who wouldn’t possibly know any better. But Kisara also knows that Shionne won’t be keen on putting anyone out, animal or not.
