What's next?

A couple of days later, the girls return with their parents

After having been coaxed and even physically shoved, the girls parents both in their 40s were now stood in front of you, eyeing you wearily and with suspicion, you realize being a cave dweller in and of itself was a reason for suspicion, youll have to change that pretty quickly if you were going to hope to exert any meaningful authority over the village people, you cant expect to be able to rule a society without being a part of it.

"Hello and welcome to my cave" you almost said "humble abode" but they probably wold not know what "abode" meant.

"I cured your daughters illness and I asked them to bring me anyone who needed healing, so tell me, what ails you?" Exept for their obvious scoliosis, must run in the family.

Awkward silence...

"Daddys got a bad left knee" one of the girls perks up.

"May I?"

The man looks at you and nods.

You walk towards him and touch his knee. Badly healed ACL. Healed at once. You also straighten his spine. The man shift his weight over to his left leg and touches his spine, looking very confused but does not say anything. Is he a mute? You did not detect anything that would prevent him from speaking.

You move over to the obviously pregnant mother.

"I a very worried" she starts "I'm 8 months pregnant, I have been pregnant 12 times before and only my first two children survived childhood, and now i'm 43 and worn out, I fear this birth will kill me."

You touch her belly, except for the scoliosis, of corse she has scoliosis, the baby is healthy.

"The baby is healthy, but with you being 43 and only 2 of 12 children surviving does not set a good presedent. There is nothing I can do today. I would have to be there for when you go into labour to make sure everything goes well."

The father turns around, looks at you and say "I invite you to our home, I want you to be there and set a good presedent when she gives birth."

You repress a smug smile and accept the invitation.

Life at the farm
