After such a battle and attempted siege, everyone has a part to play in the messy aftermath. The obvious problems you already know like putting out fires, and of course in your case seeing to the wounded. But other issues need seeing to as well, such as finding and dealing with enemy infiltrators from the attack, something the elves are notorious for.
As it seems to be though, this is not the first and surely not the last time Eindward will suffer attack, so people seem familiar with what needs to be done. In these dark days of humanity, always trying to make the best of things. And now that you're here, things can be better still. Starting with medical care; your healing presence changes the procedure of these people completely, because as long as someone is still alive you can save them. So there no longer such things as lost causes or hopeless cases for the wounded. When before, the physicians and apothecaries would deal with those they could most likely save in order, now your involvement changes things completely. Not an order of best cases, but simply most severe to least severe, or most close to death rather.
This new ordering at your direction does upset some people, particularly those who would warrant more attention like nobles. But it's not like they can force you to act differently, and people will see in the coming days how many more lives you manage to save by this method.
<span class="mu-r">"Ah! I was hoping... come, let me see you."</span>
<span class="mu-s">"We owe you our lives again, Zafira! Or... is it Sedjet now?"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"I suppose you don't have much need for blessing anymore, if it's true what they say?"</span>
What gratitude and love you are able to foster among the populace, such hope for the lives you save and restore. Is there anything more godly than providing this most basic need to people? Indeed it's such a simple thing at the heart of your efforts, but you quickly find yourself earning similar devotion from the people as you had from the soldiers after acting as their medical caregiver.
And as much love as they have for you in all this, is as rewarding and enjoyable as you find it to be. Especially when you can recognize those you help, like the helpful family who assisted you when first arriving to Eindward off the boat. You're able to save the life of the husband who was badly wounded defending his wife and child, another way of answering their kindness to you. Though it is a relief to see as many people well, and saved by your hand, unfortunately many people were not so fortunate. Each life you save is in a way, a reminder of every life that was lost.
