The World of Rhune

Zayde tried to stay calm and just be as he laid against the cool stone tub. His eyes were closed, but every couple of seconds would fly open briefly to help cope with the flashes of burning. His leg hurt terribly, but nothing else much was burning. The fire seemed somewhat contained to his sweltering thigh. He felt something soft and cool against the rugged exposed flesh and something else placed on his forehead. They didn't help much, but they still showed that whoever had put them there was trying to help and show him a little care. Zayde's stomach roiled and flipped, and he struggled to fight the urge to gag and throw up. The sensation passed after a few struggling moments. Zayde's head wasn't spinning as much anymore, and he could briefly see Kari working slightly freaked out. He closed his eyes. The flickering torch and candle light hurt. He heard feet patter in, and someone cuss at the situation. Zayde recognized the feminine voice, but from where? The accent made it obvious the girl wasn't from Andato. He felt a presence sit right next to him and where he assumed Kari was and heard the voice give another set of orders. Then the pain set it.

Aomething started to scrub straight against the surface of Zay's wound, sending pain shooting up his spine and all senses focused on his burning wound. He whimpered, loudly, but coudln't say stop his senses were so screwed up. H3e had to deal with the pain though, any other position to possibly make it stop. Zayde shifted, small but quickly to avoid anymore burning, and opened his eyes to let Kari see the pain she was causing him, except he was wrong. It wasn't Kari, it was the girl he'd been accomplanying for the last hour or two. Hannah. Crown Princess Hannah. Why was she here? Trying to help? Then he heard and saw Kari go off on her. No...no Kari she's a friend she is trying to help! Zayde mentally begged his twin, but she coudln't see, couldn't hear him. He steadied himself briefly, and threw his hand to catch his sister's. She looked back at him shocked, her movements blocked and choppy in his vision. "Okay" he said, "She'sss Okay" he struggled to form the words. It hurt to think. Zayde tried to smile in reassurance, but managed to simply make him mouth twitch up. Everything hurt still, his throat was sore from the bile, leg was feeling almost scalded and unbearably hot again, his head was foggy and spinning slightly, his eyes burning and confused, his stomach upset, arms tired from holding himself upright, and now his butt was numbing from the tile. Great.
