ugh asking for help


FORM: crystal
SENDER: Herian
RECIPIENT: everyone
NOTES: discussion of injury etc, potential dive into the depression.
Medical folks - Herian was in the Starkhaven attack and sure did disregard the medical advice she was given not to push herself too far too quickly, and so her everything is very garbage again. Happy to assume she'd not been engaging with healers/anyone who might be physio focused, or that she's been generally Difficult if you want to assume knowledge, or hash out specifics if that makes replying easier.


Good morning.

( And then silence, because how does one do the thing? )

I am... aware time and resources are pressed, as ever they are. If there are any personnel working in the areas of medicine and physical training who may be willing to work with me then I would be very grateful to speak with you.

Overlong have I been... keeping myself in confinement, and it is a destructive self-indulgence to carry on so. If there are those who do swordwork who might assist with rehabilitation once I am able, please make it known. My independent efforts were considerably less effective than I might have hoped.

( To say the least. )

Familiar with both swordwork and rehabilitation after injury, I am. You can find me in the training yard most mornings.

[And then, with reluctance,]

Did used to be a Templar, if that matters to you.
thereneverwas: (my bad)

None whatsoever.

[If anything, he sounds relieved.]

Early mornings are best, in fact. We're usually wrapped up by mid-afternoon.

Righto. See you soon, Enchanter…?

[He realizes he never got her name.]

Barrow.

You'll see me, I'm hard to miss.

Good morning.

[ despite their differences, Margaery's voice is gentle: ]

Did your independent efforts include the stretching exercises we did together?

No apology is necessary. You might say I have a lot of practice when it comes to injured knights.

[ Loras' pride might have even put Herian's to shame. ]

I know it surely cannot be easy, to go from a flurry of activity to feeling completely helpless.

[ her tone shifts to one of more brisk professionalism. ]

What is your current condition?

Weaker means you can also always become stronger.

[ the but you need patience is purposely kept unsaid, as Margaery knows Herian may already know it from the thousands of times she's tried to stress it. and when she says - ]

I am sorry.

[ she means it as an expression of understanding for Herian's plight. she's never had to know what it means to be truly helpless like this. ]

But if you would like, I would be more than happy to assist you once more.

[ for the very basics, the stretches and the careful exercises meant to put muscles to work again, where posture is everything and one wrong positioning can set back all the good intentions - Margaery can do that. ]

Will you promise not to strain yourself this time? Unless advised?

You should go slowly at first, you know.

[personal profile] tender 2021-09-26 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
It might feel that way. But I promise, not straining yourself will be for the best.

[ reiterating this, just in case. ]

I know swordwork can be taxing.

I'm not as experienced healer as some in the infirmary, [ very gently. ] But I believe anything can be restored in time. You'll just need to be patient with yourself. Your body still remembers what it's capable of. Once you're strong again, it will all come back to you.
