Healing

I picked up the tiny female and pulled her over my shoulder. If I carried her in front of me, I wouldn’t be able to swing my machete. The plants had quieted down, but I knew that they were waiting for their chance. They wouldn’t get another. The small female wasn’t going to come back into their field.

Ever.

I walked back to my cave, careful not to jostle the unconscious female too much. She was so small and delicate — much smaller than I was, and I knew that I was on the larger side of my kind.

Inside of my cave, I put her on my medi-couch. It beeped quietly as it did a little first aid. Her injuries were right on the borderline between something that could be handled by a routine medi-couch and something that would need an actual healer. I said a prayer to the stars above that the tiny female wouldn’t need more attention — I wasn’t sure where I could get it. I’d go anywhere for her, but there was no guarantee that anybody would take me in, dishonored as I was.

The tiny female moaned, and I knew that she was waking up. The medi-couch held her, and she struggled against the bonds.

“Shh,” I soothed, moving swiftly across the cave to put a hand on her forehead. “You’re okay.”

While I knew that she couldn’t understand my words, she visibly calmed. She stopped thrashing around like a beached fish, and she relaxed enough for the couch to continue ministering to her wounds.

I took her small hand in mine, and I stayed by her side as she was patched up. She’d learn to stay away from carnivorous plants in time, if she survived on this planet. Frankly, I didn’t consider her odds all that great. She obviously came from a place that didn’t post the same kind of dangers. It must be boring there.

The medi-couch beeped at me. It said that her blood sugar was at dangerously low levels, and she was at risk of going into shock. I needed to get some food into her.

I waved my hand so that the medi-couch knew to release her. The bonds retracted, and I carried her over to my food machine.

“What would you like to eat?”

I swiped the pictures around so that she could see the menu. She only clung more tightly to my body, and I could see that she was overwhelmed. Her planet must be primitive, then, if they didn’t have food replicators. Poor little backwards barbarian.

She touched the screen tentatively, as if it would bite her. I wrapped my hand around her much smaller one, and I pressed her hand firmly on the one that she’d chosen. She had chosen a flatbread, one that must have looked like her own food. It was simple food, just flour and herbs baked together.

When it came out, her stomach growled as she smelled it. She grabbed at her stomach, and I only laughed. She had a lot to learn about this planet.
