Quinn nodded slightly, not wanting to speak. She sat there silently, just trying to not feel the pain. Then... her brain went into overdrive. She decided to make up for not helping herself in the first place by thinking up an easy way to help her now. Quinn kept her eyes closed, breathing shallowly... but inside her brain there were ideas flying all around. Suddenly she got it. How COULD she forget about this herb? Quinn opened his eyes, blinking to clear her blurry vision and jumping up as quickly as she could without immense pain. ...I'll be right back... she murmured, limping out the cave and going into the woods. She searched for a whole hour before she found what she was looking for. Dock. Making sure not to touch it with her bare hands, she wrapped it in a blanket and carried it back to the cave. Dock was a herb ... that was poisonous. Whatever it touched it numbed, and if you touched it for too long or too much of it it would start killing skin tissue. Buuut... used in the right amount she could put it on her neck, it would numb her neck, and she could swallow Chervil. Quinn gingerly wiped the Chervil off of her neck.. knowing Sage was trying to help but that probably wouldn't work. There are some herbs that work from the inside, and some from the outside.

Example. If you try to put Chervil on the outside it does nothing. Example. If you try to put Dock on the inside, you die.

She slathered it on her neck.. and it already went numb. Quinn then ran and got more Chervil, putting it in some tea, and drank it the best she could.

Sage was more than happy to just sit there with the girl while she sat there. Though, it was a bit of a surprise when she jumped up and ran off. The only reason he had heard her was because he had good hearing....but he was still confused as to where she'd gone. He tried to follow her trail, but the wind was blowing in the wrong direction for him to smell her trail well, and he couldn't see or hear her sooo...he settled to pacing worriedly, until he tripped over rocks enough to make him sit down and wait for her to get back. He heard her come back in, and his head shot up, ears pricked. He'd been worried, and he was glad she seemed alright. He heard her get tea too...which meant she could drink. He smelled something new too, and his curiosity got the better of him, so he crawled over and bent down to stick his face close to the new...herb, he guessed...to smell it better.

Quinn looked at Sage. "Please.. don't touch it. Poisonous herb... only to be handled by professionals." She was mostly teasing.. but still, she didn't want his nose going numb and falling off. Quinn swallowed some more tea.. and it was working. No pain, whatsoever. Very good sign. Now.. the trick was that Quinn had to get it back OFF before it killed her neck and made her head fall off. So she had to drink a lot of tea.. right now. That's what she did, in small amounts but cup by cup until she had probably Downed four... and her neck was starting to feel weird now. Quinn took an extra blanket and wiped it off, trying very hard to not get it on her bare skin

Sage chuckled at the girl's comment, the thought of his nose falling off slightly amusing, to say the least. But he drew back and sat down with a nod and pretend serious expression on his face. "got it. Don't put this one in tea," he chirped. "See, I'm practically a professional already," he joked. It was nice to see the girl drinking though. Well...not see...he could hear her. He still couldn't see much. He settled down on the cave floor then, rather glad that the girl could at least drink tea now, even if it was only periodically.

Quinn glanced at Sage. "Think... if only.." she murmured before darting off into the woods again. She searched.. and searched... and searched.... and searched..... and finally found what she was looking for. Bristle Cactus. She grabbed it carefully, making sure not to get the bristles... in her, and brought it back to the camp. "Hey.. Sage, well, I need you to put this on your eyes." Quinn tore the cactus in half carefully and collected some gooey stuff inside. "You won't be able to see anything, and its best young keep your eyes closed... because this would hurt if it got too far in them... but it should help with your vision." She explained, putting some of the gunk on his hands. "Have fun"

Sage huffed out another breath when the girl wandered off again. He really thought she should rest more...not go running around in the woods all day. Besides, he couldn't see...so he was vulnerable sitting here blind. There were people out there who'd like nothing more to capture a hybrid. And as prince, that made him especially valuable to many hunters. He raised his head when the girl came back and wrinkled his nose at the smell, and then more at the feel of the goop on his fingers. "Well, I can't see anyway, even if my eyes are open," he snorted in amusement. He sort of heasitantly patted his face, trying to find where his eyes were before smearing the goop on a best he could, wrinkling his nose the entire time.

Quinn chuckled slightly. "It will help, I promise. Even if it doesn't 'cure' your vision." She sat down next to him with a sigh. "I'm just glad we are both getting better." Quinn said quietly, gazing up a tree the sky

Sage hummed lightly and shrugged. "Well, if it helps it helps, and if it doesn't, it doesn't do any harm," he hummed. "It just smells bad," he chuckled lightly. Then he smirked and wiped the rest of the smelly goop off his hand and onto the girls arm with a playful giggle. Maybe he was getting himself into something he couldn't win, but whatever.

Quinn rolled her eyes, swatting away the goop. "You, are currently blind." She informed Sage with a smirk. "You dint want to start a fight now." Quinn glanced up a tree the sky. There were fluffy white clouds drifting in, just enough to block the hot sun... but not rain clouds. She smiled, laying on her back to stare up at them.
