Tuck was mostly ignoring the worried words of Septiezal, too blinded by surprise and pain to care. In the back of his mind, he was aware that he needed to get to work healing his own wound, but he had no way to reach it himself! Ugh! Almost without a thought from him, more Tamusen began to grow out of the back of his left hand and he chewed the bitter leaves immediately. It took about a minute for the affect to kick in, and slowly the pain dulled to a throbbing ache instead of a sharp stabbing feeling. Still curled on the ground, he slowly twisted his head around until he saw the snake.
“I need your help,” he said.
“I’m gonna grow a branch from the Iceberry Bush and I’ll chew the leaves into a pulp. I need you to somehow apply it to my back. Use your snout to scoop it up, I don’t care. And don’t tell me it’s gross! You’re the one who did this, so help me!”

Tuck had had every intention of growing a small branch of the Iceberry Bush, but what ended up happening was even better, even though he had no idea what he’d just done. Instead of growing a branch with leaves for him to chew on so that Septiezal could put the mush onto his back, he felt a surge of healing Magic wash over the wound, and even the dull pain went away for the most part afterwards. Still unsure of what had just happened, he slowly moved around, curing and uncurling himself to test whatever strain that might put on his back.
To his surprise, it
felt like the wound had miraculously healed itself. He didn’t know it, but now there was little more than a tiny pink scar where the tear in his skin had been, and it was hidden beneath his fur. The bleeding had stopped, too.
“Hey, could you look at the wound?” he asked the snake.
“I don’t know what I just did, but I think I fixed it… Somehow.”

The snake’s reaction to Tuck’s question, and to whatever Magic he’d just done, almost worried him. The stuttered response made him think maybe something was wrong, but then he heard,
’It looks pretty healed to me.’ He breathed a sigh of relief as Septiezal made his way into Tuck’s field of view, facing him properly again. He wanted to know what kind of Magic it had been that had healed the marmoset. Tuck stuck out his lip in thought, trying to remember the
feel of the spell.
“I… I don’t think it was Plant Magic… It didn’t feel… green enough. What exactly happened? What did it look like when the Spell went off? Maybe if you describe it to me I can… figure out how to tell you how to do it. Maybe?”

When the snake said he was going to try and do the healing spell, Tuck got up and turned to face him so that he could watch. He was curious to see what a healing spell looked like, since obviously he hadn’t been able to see himself healing his back. Unfortunately, it was not to be, as Septiezal didn’t seem to do anything for many moments. Then he shook his head at the marmoset, and Tuck shrugged sympathetically.
“Maybe you just need more practice. My only advice is to practice your Magic every chance you get. That’s the only way I got any better, and I still fail or mess up sometimes. Magic doesn’t seem to be mastered by anyone. It’s like a person. Sometimes it’s nice to you and sometimes it doesn’t care about you or gets angry at you. I dunno why.”
Tuck sat down on the dry ground.
“Wanna try again?”

Ohhhh Gods, this was not going well for poor Septiezal, whose attempt at a healing spell had backfired tremendously! Tuck scrunched his nose at the acrid scent of burning flesh and then his eyes widened in horror when he realized that
Septiezal was the one being burned! And now he was
freaking out! Tuck realized he needed to do something fast before this situation became worse! But what? What plant could he grow that would help? Obviously Iceberry Bush but that wouldn’t help unless the snake calmed down!
— Oh! Quickly, while Sept was still writhing around making loud noises, the marmoset rooted around in his bag and found a small seed that smelled sweet when he put it to his nose. He pushed a pile of bones out of the way and poked the seed into the wet ground of Cetus and then said in his mind,
Grow, now! We got a hurt snake here!
His Magic listened to him, thankfully, and a juvenile Dormire Flower grew out of the ground. Its petals were small, as the Emerge Spell could only grow juvenile plants, but it would do.
“HEY!” he shouted loudly, turning to the snake.
“SHUT UP AND COME SMELL THIS FLOWER.” He paused and then said in a quieter voice,
“And if you can aim your mouth properly, then eat it. You gotta calm down so I can treat your burns!”
