"Something like that," Amberdrake had waited during that tension, radiating a low-level calm as he often did in such situations. "Most kestra'chern are not Healers, though we all know the basics, and things like massage therapy and injury recovery therapy. That I also happen to be a fully-trained Healer... I make use of it as a kestra'chern. It's a bonus to my skill-set. I can't be a full-time Healer, though I was an emergency Healer during the War... and thus I did more Healing than anyone preferred."
