As they walked into the room, she was able to more fully sense his people. Rickter was wise in that he surrounded himself with powerful, talented, and loyal people. It was much the same for her. Whether as mortals or immortals, they would need help and they would need connections to mortality lest they forget entirely what it had meant to them in life. In the patient, she sensed a drop in a bucket compared to what she sensed in Marda Ahtivin—Telion was a Mystic. Kala hoped she could wield her patron's power upon herself. It didn't seem enough to do the heavy lifting or she would have done so by now, but it could prevent secondary infections, and ensure that healing went smoothly. There was only so much a surgeon or a healer could do and the rest was up to the Gods or luck. Ioniri was more dependable than Vhexur.
Kala bowed to the women.
"A pleasure to meet you again, Miss Telion, Miss Hannah. I had come to speak to Lord Rickter about diverse matters and he asked me to help, if possible. I have studied with several surgeons at the Tranquil Gardens and worked there, as well. I've Semblance for diagnostic purposes, but also... what I think might help most... I am proficient in the Way of Flesh and the Way of Remembering."
Her wings had not come with greater stature, much to her dismay, and while a part of her was happy her head was higher than one person's, it might not be helpful for beside manner. She knelt beside the bed, offering a compassionate smile to the maimed woman. The mountain people of her home were different in many subtle, strange ways from those of Kalzasi and she was never sure if she was coming across as off-putting when she meant the opposite.
"You are stable," she declared. "With continued care, you will recover. However, I have a way to regenerate your limbs. It will take time and there will be some unforeseen side-effects, but I can promise you that I will visit regularly to mitigate them. And the side-effects will cease when the treatment is complete. I cannot guarantee they will regenerate exactly as they were, but it will be your body doing the work, so it will be your body. And I will be on hand to help guide the process. But it is your body, and so the choice is up to you. You don't have to make it immediately, and I will answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability."
Already, Kaus was winging himself to the lake to find her some starfish. The aquatic creatures could regenerate more than just limbs. She knew she could fashion and artifact, surgically implant it, and then guide the process. Whatever side-effects would be temporary.
