From chapter 3 of Our Time Together for @jayalaw.

———

Once in her hut, Astrid sat on the bed and put her head in her hands, doing her best to avoid her aching and throbbing nose. Stormfly sat by the bed.

Fishlegs knew where she kept her medical supplies, and was gathering them up, not saying anything. Tension was so thick in the room that it felt like it was choking her.

“Fishlegs, I’m sorry.”

“For…?”

“Leaving Hiccup and Heather behind.”

“That wasn’t your fault, Astrid,” Fishlegs told her. He came over to her and sat, laid a gentle hand on her knee. She didn’t think Fishlegs could be anything but gentle. “You made what you thought was the right decision.”

“But was it the right decision?” she asked, looking to Fishlegs, teary-eyed. “What if we could have done something to… to stop it? To rescue them?”

Fishlegs shook his head. “There’s nothing we could have done. Viggo had us played right from the very beginning.”

Astrid wanted to yell in frustration, even though she knew he was right. Maybe it was because he was right.

For a while, she said nothing, then turned her head away and quietly said: “Just fix my nose, please.”

“You got it,” Fishlegs said. He rose, poured some water into her wash basin, and came over to sit next to her with the basin and a cloth. “I have to clean it a bit first.”

Astrid just nodded. She knew this was going to hurt. Closing her eyes, she turned her head back towards Fishlegs.

She winced when the wet cloth touched her face. The water was cold, as they hadn’t taken the time to heat it up.

Fishlegs hissed in sympathy. “It’s bruising really bad,” he told her.

Astrid had no response to this, just remained silent as Fishlegs cleaned up around her nose. He informed her that the bleeding had stopped for the time being, which she was grateful for. She was tired of tasting blood on her lips.

“I don’t know if I can fix this,” Fishlegs said as he finally lowered the bloody cloth and basin. “It’s a bad break.” He looked her up and down. “Are you hurt anywhere else?”

“My neck hurts,” Astrid responded. She hadn’t been paying much attention to it, as it didn’t hurt nearly as badly as her nose, but there was still a terrible throbbing there. She wasn’t surprised, given that her face had taken the full brunt of her fall.

Fishlegs set his supplies down on the bedside table. “Can I feel around?” he asked.

Astrid nodded her consent, then winced as pain shot through her neck and up to the back of her head. Okay, maybe she shouldn’t have done that.

She turned her back for Fishlegs, and he pressed his thumbs into the back of her neck.

“Where does it hurt the most?”

“Middle of my neck.”

Fishlegs found the core of the pain rather quickly, and Astrid bit down a cry.

“Yep, you found it,” she grumbled out.

Fishlegs felt around a little more. “Well, nothing seems to be fractured. I think you’ll just need to ice it for a few days.”

“Okay.” Astrid turned back to him, and it was her turn to put a hand on his knee. “Thank you, Fishlegs.” She looked him up and down. “You’re not hurt at all, are you?”

“Don’t think so. Just a little sore.”

Astrid gave his knee a squeeze. “Go get some rest.”

“What about the ice?”

“Fishlegs, I’m way too tired to think about icing anything right now. My injuries can wait.”

Fishlegs made a sound that showed he disagreed with her, but he didn’t have it in him to fight her on that. So, he just nodded, patted her hand, and made to leave her hut. He gave Stormfly a pet on the way out.

Once alone, Astrid carefully laid herself down on her back and stared at the ceiling. The pillow under her head and neck felt good.

“I’ll get something to eat soon,” she told Stormfly. She closed her eyes, feeling her exhaustion wash over her. “Real soon.”

Eating would have to wait though, because it wasn’t long after that Astrid fell into a deep sleep.

Anesthesia vs Analgesia vs Sedation vs Paralytic

So, what’s the deal? Aren’t they interchangeable?

Well, no! Though they can be similar in some ways.

Anesthesia

Good ol “knock out the character” drug. It induces unconsciousness, but will not reduce pain, and doesn’t make our character sleepy weirdly enough, or unresponsive to being touched. If you stabbed an anesthetized character, they would still reflexively flinch back. They also won’t be truly sleepy, though it will feel like it when they wake up, but that’s ultimately just their body fighting off the agent.

Analgesic

This is what you REALLY want when a character’s anesthetized. Analgesics are also known as painkillers, so we could stab a character under analgesics and they wouldn’t feel anything more than pressure.

Sedation

This one’s the sleepy one. It calms and soothes, and though it’s possible to fall asleep with it, it’s more likely to leave our favorite character pleasantly dazed, but still awake, aware, and feeling pain.

Paralytic

This one’s the one that stops movement during surgery, since as mentioned before, our character could still move around, even when unconscious. This is NOT anesthesia, and even if a character is completely unable to move, they are still highly conscious and acutely aware of what pain they’re in. Nothing’s scarier than being unable to move and feeling a blade bite into you, especially when everyone’s oblivious.

Just a brief resource for anyone looking to add some variety to their writing!

Anyone here have the Beanstack app that you can track your reading with? They have a feature where you can be friends with someone. Would it be worth sharing my friend code?

Sometimes I wonder why I whump Hiccup so much.

And then I see pictures of him.

That guy is asking for me to whump him.

Like, LOOK AT HIM

And he looks great in ropes and chains too!

Hiccup, you are the ultimate whumpee.

As a precautionary measure, Seneca Foods Corporation is announcing a voluntary recall of mislabeled Hy-Vee Turkey gravy in glass jars that actually contains beef gravy. This product could potentially contain a soy allergen which is not declared on the label. Seneca is now retrieving improperly labeled Hy-Vee Turkey Gravy from its distribution system. This recall only affects Hy-Vee Turkey Gravy product sold by Hy-Vee. No other retailers are affected. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
