Chamoisee couldn't help but make a sour face at the mention of grooming supplies. It was a bit of a sore note for her family.

"That's the thing, you can go and buy that kind of stuff. The trouble is more with us. Cause there isn't as many echidna faunus in Vale, we don't have stuff tailored for our spines here. We make do, but it's alot harder to do by yourself this way."

Taking a moment to rummage through her things, she pulled out a odd looking device. It looked like a small gripper claw, except it had something sitting over the top of it.

"This is the thing we use to pull out spines. This bit grabs it near the base, while this bit vibrates slightly at the base to encourage the skin around it to loosen. Then you wiggle."

Grimacing at the word wiggle, Chamoisee placed it on her bed before sitting down herself. It was both time consuming and could be rather painful. Most of the time she ended up downing a bunch of painkillers first. It was not something she was looking forward to, should she had to do it today. But Brick's suggestion might help. Should she need it.

"And I'm not sure about the patch, I haven't thought to try it before. I guess it would help, though it might be tricky to place it on the right spot depending on which spine is broken, if one is. I suppose I should do a proper check."

Carefully running her hands through her hair, Chamoisee was moving slowly to make sure she didn't pass over any that might have broken closer to the base. She had done this herself before and knew how careful she needed to be. The last thing she wanted was to miss one and let it get infected. And then her fingers found one towards the back of her head. Her face fell. It was in the worst possible spot. In other words, she'd have to ask Brick for help. Letting out a depressing groan, she rolled over and planted her face in her pillow.
