[they come over, moving slowly and stiffly as always, and examine the work she's done. they're quiet while they do, and it seems like a pretty thorough examination.]
Good. Well, fair's fair. Let me get you what you asked for.
[they will approach and place their hand on her arm. their touch feels like stone and also like verdant, like growth and decay at the same time. a green glow appears in their palm and a numbing feeling spreads through her arm. the injury isn't fixed, but the pain is reduced.]
That's the best I can do for right now. Take it easy. If you push through, you'll hurt it worse.

[Fair is fair, indeed. She's used to that. Exchanges. Alliances. One thing, for another.]
[It's how it always works.]
Thank you, Milo.

[A roll of green bandages, a needle and green thread, appearing in the palm of their stone hands, held out to her.]
Now, will you let me do a little something about that arm?
no subject
[Her arm is throbbing from the work, but she's ignoring it, as she always does, glancing away.]
...If you must.

no subject
[She watches the whole process intently, and when it is over, she stretches the arm experimentally...and nods!]
...Thank you. [She'll keep that in mind.] Thank you for the help.
no subject
[they watch, calmly.]
Come by whenever you need anything. Or if you ever want to talk about it. I'm a good listener, but I'll always give you a choice.
no subject
[Wasted on someone as closed off as her, though, she thinks.]
It's a nice place you have here. I can tell you worked hard on it. I...might drop by. Perhaps.
no subject
I hope you do. Even if you just want to make another trade for some work.
no subject
[She makes no promises! But she's appreciative (as much as she can be) all the same.]
