Was it only Dot's nerves, or was the healer examining her foot a bit more intently than was necessary? Was this a bad sign? Was she looking for something particular? No, apparently it was just Dot's nerves; when she straightened up from her examination the healer didn't seem as though anything was particularly the matter. Rather okay.
"Well, that's good news," Dot said with a quick smile. "Is it a one-time sort of thing, and it heals right away, or do I need to keep applying it?" Dot didn't have much experience with western healers — she'd spent most of her childhood in the east, surrounded mostly by Muggles, and they did things quite differently. The idea that something which currently looked a little gruesome might be fixed in only a few minutes was still a little strange for her to think about, though she certainly wouldn't complain to be out of here faster.

Beautiful set by Kit!
