Medicine (Uglúk)
"The best stuff was always the bitterest"
He knew that the Halfling was exaggerating his injuries, but he would take no chances as he wrapped the head wound with the cleanest cloth he could – still grimy, but it did the job well enough. Why the leader was attending personally to the prison was simple – he didn't trust anyone under his command, and definitely not their bow-legged companions from the Black Lands, to keep their word and not harm him. To finish his rough ministrations, he also forced a remedial concoction onto the prisoner, the gagging and choking not bothering him. The best stuff was always the bitterest.
Exactly 100 words. Prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Medicine, Uglúk, "The best stuff was always the bitterest"). No OCs please, but any other character, however obscure, is welcome.
