so i listen to the wind for an answer
She can’t help the smile that comes to her face at his teary smile, the way he misses half her name. It’s cute though. Anna, she calls him. No one else had never shortened her name, truthfully. Not Corbin, not Adelene. She’d always been Lyanna. Prim and proper Lyanna. Destined to marry into some herd, to be the thread that held an alliance together (so precarious, so easy to snap). She’d had to be perfect, because nothing less would do. Maybe that’s why she had taken to the forest so often, because the trees did not judge her. They didn’t care if she tripped on a root, or said the wrong thing. The trees brushes her back tenderly no matter what, sheltered her no matter what.
Here though, she spent so much less time in the trees. Here, she didn’t have to know everything and didn’t have to be perfect. Here, Anna fits her perfectly. Here, a child’s care is in her hands, and her job is equally important as it was before, but it’s so different as well. A whole herd was in her care (along with Tilney and Evangeline, that goodness for both of them).
Besides, it simply melts her heart how he can’t quite say her name. The same way she feels his pain and every instinct screams to help him, even if she couldn’t simply summon the wind to heal him. She’d be here somehow, doing whatever she could.
He lays still on the ground as the wind and mist roll over him, healing the gash that runs down his legs. His reaction is priceless, just in case she didn’t like the boy already. His head whips in her direction, his question direct and to the point. “It’s magic given to the Moon Doctors here in the Edge,” she says, trying to leave out all the finer details that probably weren’t that interesting. “Though there’s many ways to heal and help with pain that don’t require magic,” she adds. She still thinks of dragging a small branch through the Threshold for a stallion in pain, before she’d had the power she does now. Like a dog, but it’d been the right thing to do. Even if she’d look entirely ridiculous doing it.

Magic use/power playing is okay, but check before serious injury/death
