Dragongal
Miss Medic
Theodas was the only one to notice the wolf, but he kept quiet about it - he was a sensible elf who did not like making large fusses. Arryn had her eyes closed and leaned her head on Kalie's back - she knew Kalie'd be fine with it, at worst joke about it. Within a few hours, they arrived in Rorich.
Rorich was a tiny village surrounded by meadows which were surrounded by woodlands, both pine and deciduous, which were surounded by towering mountains. The streets were dirt, though in some places the dwarves had used old stone from the mines to make a patchy cobble-stone. It seemed like there was a forge on every street. No building was taller than two stories, the only one reaching that height being the inn in the center of the village. On the outskirts, right near where the merchant path led actually, was one house that was a bit larger than the rest,preading out more with multiple large rooms, with herb plants potted or planted in the ground surrounding the house, which wasn't so ramshackle as some in the area. The four who were able to dismounted, the men quickly moving Dayn indoors and into one of the large rooms where multiple beds lay waiting for wounded. Matthias said, "Madame Eleran! You'd better come out here."
Arryn followed at a bit of a slower pace, stumbling a bit, Kalie assisting her indoors. Arryn sat on one of the beds next to Dayn, waiting for what she knew would come. Well, who, more of. When Lenza Eleran walked in, she looked at her daughter in surprise, pausing. She was a well-built, strong blonde woman with blue eyes, around forty in age but hardly showing it. Arryn smiled weakly to her, saying, "Hi, Ma."
Lenza looked at Dayn, then Arryn, and smiled slightly to her daughter. "I suppose I'll ask why you're here later... at the moment, you need to rest, I can tell you're hardly sitting up straight. Go to your room and rest, i'll take care of him."
"Mother, I'd prefer to sleep on this bed, next to him, if I may."
Lenza looked at her for a few seconds, then shook her head. "He won't even be awake by the time you are, and I would prefer having this room empty besides him. I will need as much space as possible for making the antidote."
Arryn sighed heavily. “Alright, just… do everything you can for him. I don’t know what I’d do, if - if -”
Lenza nodded, and said gently, "I understand. Now, go rest."
Arryn was going to protest, but then nodded and hopped off the bed, giving her mother a quick hug before going to her old room with a heavy heart. Her room had her bed, a desk, a shelf filled with books, and a chest for clothing, and just about no room for anything else. She laid down on her bed and fell asleep almost instantly. When she woke a few hours later, she immediately went to Dayn's bedside, finding her mother working, but with the empty and dirtied alchemical equipment set aside. She'd clearly needed the tops of the beds on either side of Dayn, and the equipment still lay on them. Lenza looked up at her and said, "He's still going to sleep for a while, but he'll pull through. He'll be weak for a few days, but he'll be fine evetually."
Arryn smiled widely, saying, "Thank you, Ma."
“Arryn, who is this?”
“His name is Sir Dayn Braegland.”
“I did not ask for his name, I asked for who he is.”
Arryn looked at her mother and said, “He is a knight-errant. He is also my fiance.”
Lenza nodded, a look of only slight surprise on her face. “Alright. Now, out.”
“Mother, please - “
“Arryngale, you know the rules. Unless you are going to help, you cannot be in the room, and this is a one-medic job. He is only resting. There is not enough room in there for two people if it is not necessary, and you know your job at the moment.” Arryn nodded and turned to the door, her heart heavy, when Lenza grabbed her shoulder lightly. Arryn turned to face her, and Lenza quietly said, “You’re forgetting something.” She nodded to Arryn’s old room, and said, “Matthias polished them recently. The whole team took turns caring for them once a month.”
Arryn smiled and nodded, understanding. Her heart was still heavy, but she was now given a job. She walked into her old room and picked up her sword and shield. She strapped on her swordbelt and the holster system for her shield, putting it on her back. She walked outside, then across the way, knocking on the door before being welcomed in.
