(A slender, white figure is sitting on the shore of a peaceful river. She is dripping wet, her knees drawn up to her chest. Warily, she glances at her communicator, pushing back her thick mane of white hair absently.)

You mustn't move too much or too fast in this heat. When you feel overwhelmed, find the shade of a tree or cool water.

(Amalthea closes her eyes and stretches out in the grass, resting on her side.)

This forest is like mine. I could rest...

(If her skin wasn't so sensitive to sunlight...bugs... How do humans stand it?)

Does anyone remember me?

Haha, I should've figured. You don't look hircine. That's a pity; you seem like you'd be good at it. Ah well, most of us are too old to nurse anyway.

Pleasure to make your acquaintance anyway. I'm Ted.

I am not a goat. (She takes offense to that, giving her pale hair a very mare-like toss.)

Why would I be good at it? I do not produce milk. (Amalthea purses her lips.) Amalthea.

Thank you for clarifying. [His own lips are taut in a grin.]

Oh, there's more to it than that. You have to be one's entire universe, essentially. Tell them truths and stories, cooking, cleaning. Every single talent must be brought to bare; all for one, even.

So I've heard; it means to soften or soothe, which is the sort of thing a nurse would get up to. As your name means that, I thought you might too. Hence the innocent suggestion.
