"No?" Marcella rolled her eyes, shaking her head as she cleaned off her bloodied hands with a wet cloth. He was not at death's door, nor bleeding any longer and that was thanks to her efforts. She's used to patching people up. It's what she does. But that doesn't stop her from still chastising her patients for their recklessness. "It seems to be this ongoing pattern... of bards getting into trouble. What would you have done if I hadn't been here to patch you up?"

"No shit." Marcella mumbled, still staring in mild disbelief. She had seen worse, too, but that didn't make this any easier or better. Shaking her head, she cast her first healing spell, bright green light shining between her hands, between the two of them, as wounds began to seal together, blood flow slowing. "You should still be careful. It could have been a lot worse but still, even these are cause for concern if left unattended."

"It's refreshing to hear, actually." Marcella exhaled a sigh, a content smile upon her lips. "It's nice to come across another of Lathander's faithful... I don't come across many-- not recently, anyway." Especially considering that the only Lathanderite monastery they came across had been wiped out by githyanki. "Fate has its place but too many depend on it and relinquish their will. They accept it and don't even try to change things."

"Did you ever think of..." Marcella started, speaking before she'd truly thought it through. "Did you ever think of starting a family, before you were turned?"

What a question. She exhaled a breath, somewhat of a laugh, smiling as she tried to find an answer. Head shaking, she lifted her gaze up to him and shrugged her shoulders. "Now... telling would take all the fun out of it. But... well... I'm not actually sure." After all, they had quickly excluded acts of violence and killing already, along with reckless acts that could get one killed and injured, but that was already a given to a healer such as herself. "Are you trying to make notes and impress me in the future then?" Marcella teased lightly, figuring that was most definitely not the case.

"Hm?" Iseris barely seemed to register at first, turning her head in his direction but needing a few moments to truly snap out of her daze. "Oh, right." Shaking her head, she exhaled a sigh and managed to put on a smile for the warrior, head tilting in his direction. "It's like I completely forgot I had company and just zoned out. That happens sometimes. Getting a bit too lost in thought. Like thinking about something we seem to have in common. Dragons."

"You're quite talented at this, aren't you? I've not gotten to see your work before... I'm curious to see what else you can do." It's then she realised she hadn't stopped smiling this whole time. Shifting the duck to one hand, Marcella stepped closer to wrap her free arm around Halsin's waist, pulling herself to him to give him an embrace. "Thank you..."

Marcella scooted a little closer, gently pulling him closer by the hand, rather hoping not to drag this out unnecessarily. She nodded. "Not second thoughts, no. I want to help. Though I don't suppose it'll be as pleasurable as the other morning." Not for her, anyway.
