JP - The Keep - Ankle

Whatever Bai was worried about, the twins were healthy. Difyr had not seen Brighid and Shawn so happy since before the raid. They clearly loved and doted on their adopted babies. Difyr would have liked to spend more time with the happy family, but she had work to do.

The healer was not surprised to find Yehudit Buckley waiting for her. The girl was accident prone and got hurt often. Difyr was alarmed to learn that Yehudit had managed to break her good ankle. The new blacksmith had made her an ankle brace, which worked. But then her good ankle gave out. The blacksmith was making Yehudit a second brace, which Difyr thought would work, but she was worried about what Yehudit would break next. It was unnatural how Yehudit’s ankle refused to heal after all this time despite Difyr’s best efforts, even though Aalyssa had tried using her magic to heal it, and Bai had looked at it.

Difyr bandaged Yehudit’s ankle well enough to keep it in place until Rook could fit her with another brace.

With her ankle bandaged, her worn walking stick, and her cousin Sileas, Yehudit hobbled back to Rook’s smithy.

The dwarf would be found at his workbench making the final adjustments on the new brace.

“Hi.” Yehudit greeted, one hand holding her walking stick, her other arm around Sileas’s shoulders. Sileas looked guilty for some reason.

"Good to see you again let's see if we can fix this problem of yours" Rook replied with a smile gesturing for her to sit down.

Yehudit sat down.

Sileas stood near Yehudit, looking so nervous you would think she was the one with the broken ankle.

Rook helped put the braces on and made the adjustments so they would both fit properly. " should handle the weight of you walking but for now stick with a cane as well until you get used to them" he spoke. After helping her he made his way back to the keep.
