The witch's cheeks get a further shade of red at Sio's comment, or more specifically the initial half of it. She was immediately reminded of Elpsis' stories about her, and now Maiev was getting a first hand example of that.
She went to thank her when Tegaea spoke up, and ended up blushing even further. Internally she could hear Kalax's laughter over her 'plight', but even that didn't dissuade the witch. Both woman were very attractive, however Maiev had to focus on the job at hand.
Which happened to involve one of said women being naked before her.
"
Thank you," she eventually replied with a smile. Making no comment on the offer, yet.
The dress was one of the few things Maiev kept around as a connection to her Dathomirian roots. It was clearly made of finer material than you'd find on the planet, but the design practically screamed the origin it was mimicking.
Maiev averted her eyes when Sio began to undress. Say what you want, but Maiev was always made sure to be polite. Kalax and the various matriarchs that had taught her, made sure of it.
"
Okay Ms Kerrigan, over the next five or so minutes you'll start feeling yourself becoming a bit drowsy. This is normal, you'll still be conscious but your mind will be in a more relaxed state." The response always varied per person, but generally there was a bit of subconscious resistance. Not too surprising when the body suddenly feels the reins being pulled from its hands, and something else lulling it to a calmer state.
She couldn't help but look across Siobhan's back, taking in the scars across it. Mainly because of curiosity, assuming each one held a different story. Maiev rolled up the sleeves of her dress slightly, before opening the small bound package revealing the cream like contents within. She applied some of it to both hands, then moved into position beside Sio's prone form.
"
As I begin to apply this you'll begin to feel an odd sensation down your back. You'll essentially be feeling your spine, specifically at certain spots."
With that, Maiev brought her hands down to the woman's back and began rubbing into her skin, starting at the back of her neck. It was essentially a massage, Maiev's fingers digging in to hit certain points along Sio's spine. As she worked, the witch chanted quietly. It was clear she was being thorough as she gradually moved down Sio's back. Every so often she stepped aside to reapply some more balm, until eventually she was finished with the first part.
"
One note I'd like to make, is that this obviously won't result in you immediately walking again. But my hope it will at least be a step towards that, allow you to feel your legs slightly - wiggle your toes maybe. If that is the case, then we can likely arrange something for repeat sessions."
Maiev returned to her chanting shortly after, now moving onto Siobhan's legs. The witch's fingers pressed along the flesh, finding and applying the balm to muscles and tendons specifically. After roughly thirty or so minutes on the legs alone, Maiev stepped back.
"
And we are done. You'll need to stay as you are for another ten minutes, Ms Kerrigan. Once you feel the tonics effects wear off, you can sit up and get redressed."
It would take much longer until the results would be apparent. Should the tonic and balm have worked, then in the near future; whether that be hours or even days, Sio would be able to feel at least
something in her legs again.
