If a thing called a "balloon" had been invented in this world, Leo would have thought that Grifen deflated just like one.

: "I was afraid of that. See, that merchant over there promised me medicine for my sick horse if I helped guard his wagon. As much as I wanna learn how to use magic, it breaks my heart seeing her so ill. So...I guess I can't learn from ya after all."

Maible walks over to Griffen

Thank you ... I don't know your name, but thank you for saving Sakura. I overheard you talking about medicine, that's an honorable proffesion

: "Heheh...thanks, but it weren't nothin. I ain't a doctor or a priest or anything. Call me Grifen, Miss...?"

Grifen seemed slightly flustered, as though a part of her wished that she hadn't said anything.
: "Er. Well. I was wonderin' - if it ain't too much trouble, I mean! - if maybe you could teach me how to use one of them things." She gestured to the healing staff in Leo's hands.

: "Y'see, ma says I have 'potential' with staffs, whatever that means. She knows how to use the darn things, but I've never been able to figger it out. Maybe because the only staffs she has anymore are old and worn out, I dunno."

: "But I'm thinkin', yer's looks pretty new, and you obviously know how to use one. I can make it worth yer while! I can teach ya how to...I dunno, ride a horse or prepare medicine or somethin. Please?"

: "Ah, wait! I wanted to ask if...oh, never mind."

Grifen went back south to tend to Roderick's and Fezz's wounds in her somewhat-less-magical fashion.

The girl giggled.

: "Aw please, its just Grifen. I ain't one for being fancy or nothing."
She finished wrapping the worst of the priest's injuries.
: "Aaaaand there! I'll make up some medicine later to speed up the healing, but that oughta last ya til camptime. Anyway, the magic guy and the sword guy and I were protecting that merchant over there when we came across yer fight."

Doublepost, ignore :x

At the sight of the priest and with the battle over, Grifen's eyes brightened and she cheered up immediately.

: "Howdy preacher! Hold still a moment and I'll have ya feeling better in a jiffy." She began applying bandages to Leo's wounds, which would at least help stop the bleeding; further healing would come later. "I'm Grifen, by the way. Are you one of Sheila's friends?"

For quite a few of the conspiracy theorists? Skin color.
