Bella's eyes widened at the sudden vulgarity in the young woman's tone. She was dressed nicely and certainly sounded like she came from a good family with her posh accent; why ever did she feel the need to curse? Of course, the obvious answer was the tentacula bite (or the suspected tentacula bite, as Bella considered it), but she wasn't considering that while she was being snapped at. Like she'd been trained to, Bella remained silent and nodded in understanding. Arguing with patients was a no-no, even if they did know less about plants and healing than she did.

"I only ask because venomous tentacula bites are very potent, and the fact that you're still speaking is miraculous." While that may have come off as a bit daunting — even a bit frightening to a skittish patient — Bella only meant to provide a truthful explanation. "Did you apparate here? Take the floo?" she asked in casual conversation as the more experienced healers began tending to the wound.
