Preparing for the Arrival

Kevin and Jenny sit inside the cottage as the rain turns to a down. The barometer continues to drop.

Kevin confirmed the water tank overflow is running clear, then retrieved the medical supplies Jenny requested. Jenny applied a fresh sea beet-mint-honey poultice to her infected ankle and re-dressed it with clean gauze and saline.

Kevin, the barometer's falling fast. I need you to check the tank overflow - and I need saline for the ankle, clean gauze, and that scalpel.

Apply fresh sea beet-mint-honey poultice to swollen ankle, then attempt to stand despite the throbbing pain.

💭 peek at the thought

The infection's edge is creeping again despite the poultice - I need to debride properly before it tracks up my calf. And that dropping barometer means I should check the rain tank overflow before the tide turns.

Tank first. Then I'll get the kit. You sit.

walk to the back wall and inspect the tank overflow channel

💭 peek at the thought

She's pushing again. Ankle's hot to the touch, infection tracking. She won't stay off it. Barometer dropping means we've got weather coming in hard — tank overflow first, then her supplies. The scalpel needs proper sterilizing this time, not just a wipe.

Just hurry. It's weeping through the gauze again.

Sit at the table and sketch the pattern of the rain on the windowpane, trying to focus on anything but the pain.

💭 peek at the thought

He thinks sitting will stop the pulse, but the heat is in the bone. If that tank overflows, I'll lose the whole supply for the month.

Tank's clear. Overflow running.

retrieve the medical kit, saline, clean gauze, and scalpel from the shelf and bring them to the table

💭 peek at the thought

Overflow channel's clear — oak shims and epoxy from last repair holding. Water's running clean. Good. Now the ankle. She's sketching to keep from screaming. I've seen that face.
