Its been a few days since they both arrived in Galtrev and from the second day Caithrin fell into a fever condition, the local healers were concerned as they did not find what was causing her to have the fever. As she drifts away and coems back due to her fever Cenwynne grows more concerned as he sits by Caithrin side, one hand holding hers, the other holding a soft and damp cloth on her forehead, whispering gently to her "Cait..dont give in to the fever..please..not here..not now.." Caithrin lies on the bedroll and the sweat is flowing as well with her tears. She seems to dream or she is in pain. She seems to not respons to what he says to her. Cenwynne squeezes her hand gently, rubbing the wet cloth over her forehead while he worries. "You cant Cait..you have things to live for.." Caithrin have been out for weeks, just this few days she have been away a few moments. But her engery is low seens she have not been eating anything. Her dreams or pain seems to get worse, she start to scream low screams.
Cenwynne looks at her more worried than before as he hears her low screams, still holding one of her hands in his own as he reaches back into his backpack, searching for something to give to her to chew on. Caithrin open her eye´s. It seems like she is in pain. "Cait..here if you can try and eat this, I ofund it outside the village, I think it might settle your pain and fever a bit.." as he hands her a root "The tribesmen says its eatable" he says to her. Caithrin looks at his hand and raises her head just so she can take it in her mouth and starts to chew the root. Cenwynne looks at her, still worried "Cait...I do not think I have an option but to see if I can get you home..or if Milcroft can come and meet me..I hope its nothing serious..but high fever and pregnacy is not a good combiantion what I have been told once.. And I have asked the tribesmen as well..they cant explain whats wrong either.." Caithrin holds her eye´s closed as she slowly chewing. "I..... I ... am sorry..Cen" she says faintly to him "Dont be Cait..Right now for me..you health is more important.." Cenwynne says as he looks aat her, trying to smile This.....pain....it´s killing me...." she whispers to him. "Dont say so Cait..that root should help ease it a bit once its taken up into your blood.." he replies to her, feeling his worrying growing bit by bit as he then looks at her with an almost chocked look "Cait..its not time for the little one to come to the world?" Caithrin tears keep falling but she start to get a bit better as she start to remeber where she is and why she is there. "No... I hope not.... It should be a month left atleast..."
"Good...for now..But I wont let that go just yet..and the wound the orc gave you has heald nicely?" Cenwynne asked her.
Caithrin shakes her head. "I don´t ....I don´t know... I have not looked at it.." "Mind if I take a look at it Cait? Just to make sure?" he asks her "Go a head. I can´t move anyway." she replies. Cenwynne gives her a worried smile as he gently unbuckles her jacket enough to fold the material away to get access to her shoulder as he begins to remove the bandage
Cenwynne then looks at the wound and grimace "Cait..I think I might have.." the smell coming from the deeply infected wound overwhelms him as he needs to turn his head away for a brief moment as he throws up, the smell should be noticed by her as well. Caithrin feels the smell in her noes as well and as an reaction she try to move away but as she does she sceam out in pain. "Dont move Cait..it only makes the pain a lot worse.. I might be able to clean the wound but you are not going any further..I need to write some letters and send them with a runenr as fast as I can.. I dont trust the tribesmen here and their healing methods.." Cenwynne says to her. Caithrin nod´s as she looks at him. "Will you send one to Mil aswell?"
Cenwynne nods "I will Cait..I will..I dont think I will be able to carry you the whole way home" he then laughs gently "This will hurt a lot Cait but..I need to do this.."Caithrin breaths fast. "I am already in pain. Go on, it needs to be done" Cenwynne nods as he takes out a small phial with some clear substance in it as well as a clean piece of cloth "You going to hate me for this Cait..but you are in luck that I have these kinds of supplies with me as I travel" he gives her a short smile as he uncorks the phial "Just try and relax Cait.." he says gently as he takes the phial and adds it to the cloth as he then uses the cloth to start to clean the nasty wound. Caithrin tries her best to not scream but everyone can see that it hurts alot. The tears are still flowing. "I know Cait..Im so sorry but I need to do this..you are doing great..Im almost finished" Cenwynne says as he works as fast as he can with the cloth over the wound to clear it out. "I know! I know Cen just do it"
Caithrin whimps out due to the great pain in her shoulder. Cenwynne nods "Almost.." he says as he wipes the cloth one last time over the wound "Now..I need to cut the dead skin off..that will hurt even more, it is plausible that you might pass out but I will be watching you carefully.." he says as he puts the cloth and phail away and takes out his small knife he usually carves with "I think its best you look away.." he says gently as he starts to cut off all the dead skin. Caithrin looks away and screams at first but then she passes out again. Cenwynne looks at her with a worried look as he gently cuts around the edge of the wound as he then takes the knife and looks on the wound and nods as he speaks for himself "That will do it..". Cenwynne then takes out a thin needle and some threat and starts to stich the wound.Cenwynne then cuts off the thread after he carefulyl stiched the wound back togehter and then takes the phial again and wents a piece of cloth again with the substance and wraps it aroudn her arm and then takes a new piece of cloth and wraps that one over the other one to form a bandage. Caithrin stays unconscious under the whole thing which makes Cenwynne feel a bit worried as he puts away the things and gently nudges her with a soft whisper as well "Cait..its done..listen to me and come back here.."
Caithrin slowly wakes up but are way more dizzy then before. " That should take care of it Cait..the wound had become very badly infected but I have cleaned it and put a fresh bandage on it..so I now hope that your fever will go down but I will write home and ask for aid.." Cenwynne says as he gives her a soft smile. "Thank you.... send one letter to Mil. Tell him I love him and about the baby.." Caithrin says to him and returns his smile although the pain from the wound is noticeable in her eyes. "I will Cait..dont worry.. here..drink some" as he hands a small leather skin to her "You need to drink as well Cait.." Caithrin tries to do as she is told and drinks and then starts to cough a little. "That´s was good" she says afterwards "Its fresh water from a creek I found.." Cenwynne replies to her. Caithrin takes his hand. "Thank you Cen, I am very greatfull for all you do for me.. I am sorry I slow you down like this." Cenwynne looks at her and continues to smile "Dont be sorry Cait..we did not know that this would happen... It will be well soon I promise..After all..what a trip we have had so far.." Caithrin smiles back at him. "We had, I had the best trip of my life." "I am glad to have shared it so far with you Cait.." Cenwynne replies to her. "I am greatfull to have you here. I hope aid will come soon even if the pain have been better now." she replies to him before resting her back down on her bedroll again. Cenwynne nods "I am sure it will Cait..perhaps once the letters have been read..".
Caithrin turns her head to look up to the sky. " I miss Bree so much Cen. I want to do this but I can´t now. Now I just want to be back home. Please stay with me this night?" Cenwynne nods "I will Cait..dont worry..I will be here all night.." Caithrin smiles warmly before closes her eye´s and she fall a sleep almost directly. Cenwynne smiles as he sees her falling asleep and dont seem to be in pain, as he knows the root is helping her, easing the pain for her as he gazes up towards the sky "What an adventure..what an adventure Cait.." he whispers for himself, correcting his stnace a bit as he draws out some parchment and some scrolls and begins to write back home, in hope of getting the letter to Milcroft and to Zandrianna as he wonders on what to do next.
