"You remember how to apply a poultice right?"
Eva paused when she heard that question. She had been so focused on making the poultice that she forgot about this part.
Lucas set his cloak to the side and pulled off his shirt. Unwinding the tight bandage on his midsection he exposed the freshly opened wound.
After washing, the bleeding seemed to have ceased and there was only a small bit of blood on the fresh bandage.
The clearly defined muscles of his chest blinded her for a moment. At least until her eyes settled on the deep wound in Lucas' side.
Lucas grabbed her hand and moved it to touch near the side of the wound.
"You see how the skin is hot to the touch?"
Eva's face felt hot at this moment but she took a deep breath to focus. Moving her hand to feel the skin around the wound she did notice that the skin around the wound felt hotter.
