You have to fear more for your health than your safety to visit a Healer. That's the idea," Vivi told the younger girl as means to distract her from any pain or discomfort. She lifted the girl's wrist gently and felt along the length with nimble fingers.
Hmm. There was almost too much swelling to really feel if anything was truly broken, and there was no way she'd perform magic on the girl here in the Great Hall where professors, Headmistresses, prefects, and MOTHERS could witness. "Wiggle your fingers."
...Was that a confession that the Healer really
was scary? Great, just great. If she had to walk around with a hurt wrist for the rest of the year then she would because after hearing her little 'pep talk' she was pretty sure that she wouldn't be climbing the stairs leading to the Hospital Wing any time soon.
She supposed what Vivi had said made sense but...well...
"How does that work when they're so scary that the actually injured don't wanna show up at their door?" She asked, tilting her head slightly. Then again that might have been the idea. There would be less work to do if there were less students coming in--LE GASP, so that was it! Lex winced when Vivi raised her wrist to get a better look. The pain had gotten worse since someone last tried looking at it. Merlin, it really shouldn't have been that bad, all she did was land badly on it!
She nodded when the girl asked her to wiggle her fingers. That would be easy, the hand had still been functional for the most part...not that she had been using it much. Her brows furrowed when she saw that her fingers were only slightly moving.
"That's weird...it was better earlier." She looked back at her friend.
"Can you fix it...?"
