Nali helped Sheila onto her feet. She was trying hard to make this easy for the petite jagwere, but Sheila still winced a little in pain. She placed a hand on Sheila's back, between the shoulder blades and pressed down. "Does it hurt here?"
Sheila winced and nodded her head. "Yes."
Nali 'hmm'ed a little. She placed her hand onto Sheila's shoulder, and placed her other hand onto Sheila's other shoulder. She pressed her hands down slightly. "Do your shoulders hurt?"
Sheila winded a little. "Yes."
Nali nodded her head. Moving one of her hands down, she pressed lightly on the small of Sheila's back, just above her tail. "And here?"
Sheila nodded her head. "Very."
Nodding her head again, Nali placed eiher hand on the side of Sheila's thighs. "Do your legs hurt?"
Sheila nodded her head again. Nali just sighed a little. "Sheila, would you please undress?"
Sheila nodded her head a little and started taking off her clothing, albeit reluctantly. She knew Nali was a professional, but Sheila was always rather sensittive about her body and looks, and it embarassed her to let others see it.
Once Sheila was fully unclothed, Nali turned around and went to grab her jar of salve. She still had a good amount, as she had just made the batch this morning, and there was still plenty. "Sheila, hold still. I'm going to apply this salve."
"All right..." Sheila said uncertainly.
Cupping her hands, Nali picked up a bunch of the salve. She then placed the salve onto Sheila's back and began rubbing it up and down her backside, and onto the skin. "I warn you Sheila, that when we're done, you're going to be covered in badages for awhile."
Sheila nodded her head. "Understandable. But at least my head won't have to be, right?"
"Don't worry. I can leave your head, hands and feet alone." Nali assured. "But I must advise you don't change between forms. You'll want to keep the bandages in place for awhile, so the salve settles in."
Sheila grumbled a bit, but nodded her head in understanding.
Nali blinked her eyes. A small smirk appeared on her face. "Let me guess. You wanted to show off your human form to Ranma?"
Sheila nodded her head a little. "Yeah."
Nodding her head, the small smirk on Nali's face grew. "So you like him, huh?"
Sheila's face flushed a deep shade of red. "W, whatever gave you that idea?" Sheila asked.
"Just a hunch." Nali said, the smile on her face hadn't lessened any. "I know how sensitive you are about your looks, and I think you wanted to try to show off a little for Ranma..."
Sheila's blush deepened, confirming Nali's assumptions. "It's okay, Sheila." Nali said. "It's okay to like someone. Still, don't you think liking a Sabretooth is a bit much?"
Sheila turned her head around to look at Nali. "What makes you say that? Ranma is, by far, one of the sweetest guys I've ever met."
"Seriously?" Nali asked, her hands still rubbing salve onto Sheila.
"Yes." Sheila said. "And heroic too. I was literally about to be killed and he swooped down and literally saved my bacon from the frier. He repelled that fireball and saved us all." Sheila then began to blush a little. "And he was so gentle when he carried me all the way back here. Ranma was even able to handle letting Gar hang on him while he was carrying me!"
Nali nodded her head. "Seems like a very impressove fellow."
"He is." Sheila said with a wistful sigh. "But still, how am I going to get him to see me as something besides a little kid, if I can't change to my human form?"
"Well, Sheila..." Nali ebegan, taking a moment to choose her words carefully. "I admit, I am a bit prejudiced against Sabretooths. They are literally a 'boogey man' in certain regions. But from what you told me about Ranma, he seems to be a decent enough a person. I don't think he'll mind getting to know you with or without a pair of breats to catch his attention"
"Nalllllliiiiiii..." Sheila whined a little, whle blushing.
"I'm serious." Nali said. "If you want to get to know him, just be yourself."
Sheila nodded her head, but that advice seemed hollow to her. She had tried to 'be herself' with different guys. All that did was just make them think her some sort of Tomboy. "I hope Ranma won't mind..."
