"Try to get some rest as soon as your mother gets settled in to the healing room." Wulfsen said. Sileas looked so tired he wanted to pick her up and carry her.

In reply to Brighid Spenser (msg # 161):

"Aye, Shawn did, and did Olivia." Liadan said. "So did Ais and the twins."

In reply to Wulfsen Thornblade (msg # 162):


"She'll need me," Sileas protested. "I have to be with her."

Brie closed her eyes. Three of her girls then. Two of her babes and her Sarah. "That's good," she said half-heartedly.

In reply to Sileas (msg # 164):

"You should be able to find some space for you to sleep in the healing room." Wulfsen said. "If you don't get some sleep you'll make yourself sick."

"When I was with Papa, the healing room was getting rather full. I'll get some rest once Mama's comfortable and resting." But Sileas was well aware of how long that could take.

In reply to Brighid Spenser (msg # 165):

"I'm sorry." Liadan said, knowing that Brighid was thinking of who she had lost. "Try to think about who is left and needs you." Liadan wondered if she would be so positive if she had lost any children in the raid, she did not think she would and refused to think about it further. "Olivia and Sileas need you."

Brie felt too broken and useless to be of any assistance to her daughters, but Brie nodded ever so slightly. "I know."

In reply to Sileas (msg # 167):

"Maybe Mrs Spenser and your father can be set up in another room." Wulfsen said. "Captain Spenser looked well enough to be moved."

"I suppose it's up to Difyr. And if there are beds available," Sileas said. "I just want them well."

In reply to Brighid Spenser (msg # 169):

"I know it's really bad." Liadan admitted as stretcher bearers arrived. "But you can get through this, Brie."

In reply to Sileas (msg # 171):

"And I want you well." Wulfsen said, then blushed slightly.

In reply to Liadan Buckley (msg # 172):

Brie nodded, but she wasn't at all certain she had the fight in her that was necessary.

In reply to Wulfsen Thornblade (msg # 173):

"All I want is to in a corner and cry, fall apart and break down. And then I want to sleep for a week.  But I can't. I can't do any of that," Sileas said. "Until Papa and Mama are better, I'm the head of the family. I have to be strong and hold everything together. I can't let Mama give up or try to hide, I can't let Papa start blaming himself. Olivia needs to be mothered. There's too much to be done."

In reply to Sileas (msg # 175):

"All I want is to help you." Wulfsen said, rubbing her shoulder. "If there's anything I can do..."

In reply to Brighid Spenser (msg # 174):

They were taking the boy and Pinja first. "Be careful!" Liadan scolded the knights distractedly as she continued fussing over Brighid. "I got your back, Brie."

"I wish there was," Sileas said. "I wish there was, but I have no idea what. Unless you can make all of this magically go away? You wouldn't have arrived at the village in the middle of a disaster, Larrigan and I would have been with Mama and Papa, and my sisters having dinner. Aunt Aislyn would have had her brood surrounding her. James would have been with his parents. Pinja would have been doing what ever Pinja did after shop hours."

In reply to Liadan Buckley (msg # 177):


"Where is Sileas? Is she all right?" Brie whispered. "Was she injured at all?"

"I wish I got there sooner, stopped it from happening." Wulfsen said. "Or at least saved your mother some pain by rescuing her earlier, and the boy, and that girl." Wulfsen sighed deeply. "You know if it wasn't for you all three of them probably would have died."

In reply to Brighid Spenser (msg # 179):

"She's right over there. She's all right." Liadan assured Brighid. "Sileas wasn't hurt."

"I'm grateful I listened to my instincts," Sileas admitted, refusing to admit to having her mother's voice in her head. Not with any emphasis anyway. "I'm glad we found Pinja and James as well." Sileas' face fell. "Pinja may not be so grateful though."

In reply to Liadan Buckley (msg # 181):

"Good. She's been through too much. But I think she saw too much tonight, it's going to take a toll on her."

In reply to Sileas (msg # 182):

"Pinja deserves better than to die alone like she would have if you had not gone to her." Wulfsen said. "She may be scarred but now she has a chance to live."

In reply to Brighid Spenser (msg # 183):

"I'll keep an eye on her." Liadan promised. "And I guess Questa found some of that tea Difyr makes."

In reply to Wulfsen Thornblade (msg # 184):

"You're right. I suppose I was putting myself in her place and putting my own feelings there," Sileas admitted. "I may not know exactly what she may be feeling as she heals and tries to go forward but I do know what it's like to believe in your heart that your life is over."
