Dionisia took her time retrieving the salve, in part to give time to give the Fisk siblings a chance to speak and in part because she was determined to do more than merely cure the physical wound that Zelda had sustained.

She eyed the salve on the shelf in the tiny greenhouse, and then the plants that sat near it, and then the small jars of miscellaneous ingredients. Her gaze continued down the shelf until it landed on the small notepad and self-inking quill.
