Re: The Keep- The Gate

Sileas wrapped her other arm around her cousin, her tears still flowing. Her home, the only true home she had ever known was devastated. Sileas felt like a knife had been stabbed into her heart.

Re: The Keep- The Gate

Questa had been quiet for most of the journey, though she had a lot of things to say bout Yehudit's crying and crankiness and the way Wulfsen was acting towards Sileas. But Sileas was so cranky she kept her mouth shut, up till now. She had spent a much longer time on the streets in Portside living wit hthe poorest of the poor, thieves and beggars. She had seen a lot of dead people, including children, so she was not so emotional seeing a kid lying by the market stall. She went over to him and put a hand in front of his face.

"He's still breaffin'" Questa announced, setting on her heels. "Probably die soon fough. Wotcher want ter do wiv 'im?"

Re: The Keep- The Gate

Sileas lifted her head to look in Questa's direction. "How badly is he injured?" she asked, her voice shaking. She let go of Yehudit and dismounted to make her way over to the body. "James," she breathed. One of her best students, his parents ran a cheese stall. She knelt next to him. "James?"

Thud! Yehudit fell off the horse. She sat up and dusted herself off.

"He's 'urt bad." Questa said and stepped back for Sileas to look at the boy. She went over to the fallen stall and began pulling the canvas awning off of it.

Re: The Keep- The Gate

Above all else, Questa was fairly good at judging injuries. Indeed James was badly injured but the injuries didn't appear life-threatening. The worst was his leg, Sileas could see bone sticking out. "I need some rags, including something long enough to wrap around his leg. And some sticks or wood for splints."

"'ere." Questa said, holding out the canvas. She went back to the knocked over stand and began tearing it apart for splints. A round of cheese rolled out of the stand, Questa absently picked it up and stashed it under her vest.

Wulfsen put a hand on Sileas's shoulder and gently squeezed it.

Re: The Keep- The Gate

Sileas pulled her dagger and cut the canvas into what she needed. She wished it was cleaner but she couldn't be choosy.  She bandaged the more minor injuries and waited for the splints. "Questa, do you see his parents anywhere?" she asked. "Wulfsen, when the splints are ready, I'll need you to hold James so I can set his leg."

Re: The Keep- The Gate

Sileas feared they may have been among those buried. It was unlikely they had fled and left their injured son behind. "Right." She arranged the strips of fabric beneath his leg and took the pieces of wood. "Questa, when I say, I need you to tie the strips tightly around his leg and the board."

Then she reached up and gently touched James' cheek. "This is going to hurt something horrible, darling. I wish I knew a way to do this painlessly for you. But I know you're a strong brave boy and can handle it. Right?"

James gave a tear eyed nod and set the piece of wood on either side of his leg. Sileas said a silent prayer and straightened his leg then held the wood tightly against it. "Now, Questa."

Re: The Keep- The Gate

"Put the mockers on tryin' ter squirm or yer'll wind up crippled forever like 'er soft mate." Questa scolded as she tied the strips of cloth tightly around his leg and the boards.

Re: The Keep- The Gate

Sileas bit her tongue at the snipe against Yehudit. Right now she needed Questa, they all id, if they were going to survive this outing and have any hope of finding Sileas' mother.

James cried out but managed to not squirm, thanks in no small part to Wulfsen's hold and Sileas holding his leg still. Once all the  strips were tied and Sileas was satisfied that they were tight enough, Sileas let go. She reached up to wipe James' tears away. "You were a very brave boy, just like I knew you were."

Wulfsen gently picked the boy up. They would have to make a litter or find a cart for him.

Re: The Keep- The Gate

The horses lumbered into the keep. A couple knights ran over to help with the horses.

"We need stretchers." Wulfsen ordered. "Three of them."

Re: The Keep- The Gate

"Four. Yehudit is still out of it," Sileas said as she hopped off the wagon. "We also brought some supplies that Questa could salvage," Sileas told a few of the other knights who hadn't gone for stretchers.

Re: The Keep- The Gate

"Every one in need of a stretcher is still in the wagon," Sileas corrected. She forced herself to stand straight and strong when all she really wanted to do was find a quiet corner and crumple in tears.

Wulfsen hopped out of the wagon and slipped an arm around Sileas to support her.

"You need rest." Wulfsen commented.

"I don't need a stretcher, I'm in the wagon." Yehudit argued.

In reply to Wulfsen Thornblade (msg # 157):

"I need a lot of things," Sileas said quietly. "But I need to take care of Mama and Papa right now." She heard Yehudit's denial. "Pay no attention to her denial. Any on the wagon need stretchers."

"I know," Brie said weakly. "Did Shawn survive?"
