[That much she's forthcoming with, because that much she can't deny. Her feet were broken, bandaged and splinted, and without using magic on them she'd be bedridden... two weeks, perhaps? Maybe she could begin testing her weight after that, stretching and trying to relearn what it was like to stand on two feet with proper lengths and only slightly arched soles.

But the rest... it wasn't something easily put into words without knowing certain details about her life that she'd not told anyone but perhaps two in all of ALASTAIR. If he wanted that, it would need coaxing, but the admission to how she felt- that she had been a burden...

Sieglinde's gaze dropped to the bumps under her covers that were her feet.]


They shall need tending, of course... I change the bandages each day and replace the poultices, tighten the splints... I suppose in a while I will try and test if I managed to align tendons correctly... I do not think I can recover most of the feeling in them, though, they have been bound too long for that...

[She knew that wasn't what he meant, but it was easier than the full truth. That she'd hoped unbinding her feet would help her feel free from her past, from the mother who had lied to her and done it to her in the first place... and instead, she'd largely felt only guilt for seeking to change something she'd come to see as the price she paid for ignorance.]
