Darkness. Alone. Where is she? Where is Gorlim? The babies -- she puts a hand to them. Still there. Still with her

*he sits up, blinking sleepily but smiling at Norolinde* H'lo, m'lady. Is he wha...? Oh, GORLIM? He's not dead yet, if that's what you wanna know. *grins*

[norolinde]

I . . . How can you be *smiling*? How can you . . .

::walks slowly over to the bed and kneels beside Gorlim's still frame:: I . . . I fainted. How's he hurt?

[dairuin]

*cheerfully and gently runs his fingers through Gorlim's hair, which is still matted with dry blood* Well his arm's broke, and you can see that bruise he's got, and I'm sure there are more you CAN'T see, and he'd got quite a gash in his head. But he'll survive, if he wakes up. He ought to now. He got through the first night without dying. He's tough like that. Stubborn bastard. *the last words spoken with great affection as he strokes Gorlim's hair*

::stifles her cry in the blanket::

I should have stopped Ru. I told him not to, and when he wouldn't stop I told him I'd follow him . . . what have I done?
