OOC: PM time.

[Cornflower MM]

OOC: Okay. Good idea.

[The Skarzs]

After his shift, Garth's mind had slipped into a dream, and he was fighting Arya again. She was down, and he swung his axe. . .
"No!"
The squirrel jolted awake, realizing it was morning.

[Cornflower MM]

Arya jerked awake, startled by Garth's sudden movement. "What's wrong?" She asked, starting to get up, and fell back with a cry of pain. "Ah! Garth......I'm not so sure I can get up...." She whimpered, trying to get up again, and failing.

[The Skarzs]

"It was nothing. What's wrong?" Garth said, genuinely worried. He hauled himself up, and went over to Arya. "Stay still; I think your leg wounds are worse than we thought." He inspected it apprehensively, feeling awkward about doing so, but knowing she needed help.

[Cornflower MM]

Arya stayed still, watching the squirrel. "Well?" She asked quietly.

[The Skarzs]

Garth gently reset the bandages. "It isn't infected, and it's closed up. But I think the arrow damaged the tendon, so until it's healed, walking isn't going to be fun. Neither is moving the leg at all." He rubbed his chin. "We don't have what we need to properly make sure it's clean, and this place isn't the most ideal to rest for an indefinite amount of time." The squirrel shook his head regrettably. "We may have to travel a little further, but. . ."

[Cornflower MM]

"Well, I've worse.............I think." Arya said, trying to joke. "Help me up, would you?" She asked, extending her arms.

[The Skarzs]

Garth gritted his teeth against his own pain as he helped Arya up to lean on him and smiled slightly. "Ready?"

[Cornflower MM]

"Yeah. What about you? Are you alright?" Arya asked, then she clenched her jaw. Just one paw in front of he other, right? Just lift one up and drop it, then lift up the other and drop it........This would take awhile, no doubt.

[The Skarzs]

"I'll be fine; just worry about moving." It was slow going, and it would undoubtedly be a while before they made it anywhere worthwhile.

[Cornflower MM]

OOC: Gonna be a tad bit of PP here.

BIC: They made it to the road, and Arya's jaw was clenched even tghter. But, it wasn't herself she was worrie about - It was Garth. The guy had lost a lot of blood the other evening, and know this. It couldn't be good for him, even if he'd gotten a full night's sleep.....Which he hadn't.

[The Skarzs]

OOC: I'm going to get them to the mousewife's house now.

BIC: Garth peered ahead. Was that a wisp of smoke, or just a cloud? "Arya, do you see that?" He pointed.

[Cornflower MM]

Arya unclenched her jaw with a little bit of difficulty, and peered ahead. "Yeah. It's smoke. Please don't let it be trouble...." She said. Just then, an old mouse came through the woods, holding a basket with mushrooms. "My stars! What on earth has happened to you two?" The old mouse said, her eyes wide "Come, come! TYou need help."

[The Skarzs]

Garth, still supporting, Arya hobbled toward the mouse. "We've been wounded," he said lamely, but what else could he say?
