In Which Firi learns what has happened to Gorlim and Theodred shows off his/her new look.
Dred: *Is seated in a chair near Gorlim's bed, looking very concerned and stroking his hand.*
Firiel: *returns to the cottage quietly, hoping not to disturb anyone as she does so, and goes to check all the rooms and the people in them*
Dred: *sighs and glances skyward, wondering if it will do any good to plead for intercession then remembers that the valar seem to enjoy meddling and just returns attention to Gorlim*
Firiel: *knocks softly on the door to their room, waiting for an answer before opening it*
Dred: *Jumps a bit at the knock* Oh um...come in.
Firiel: *curious at the voice, opens the door and steps inside, not completely looking at them yet* I just wanted to see if you two are all right...
Dred: Not really. And this *indicates body* Is the least of it. *sighs* Gorlim's...tried to hurt himself. He got some bad news about his daughter...
Firiel: *moves closer to the bed and peers at Dred* Are you...? *wide-eyed* Oh Eru... *shakes her head and turns to Gorlim* He tried to hurt himself?
Dred: *nods* I found him on the edge of the cliff with a knife. When I got it away he was trying to jump. Eventually he just collapsed and I brought him back here....He hasn't responded to anything...*bites lip*
Firiel: *frowns and sits next to Gorlim, stroking his hair* I knew it would hit him hard, but not like this...
Dred: There's more too...*moves the hand that was resting on one of Gorlim's to indicate the damage* I tried to stop him from...But I have no idea what to do... I wish I did...
N
Firiel: *looks at his hands* Dred... We should bandage this... *gets a clean cloth from the outer room, bringing water with it to clean his skin, proceeding to do so* And he hasn't woken up since?
Dred: No he hasn't. *shakes head and moves to help Firi* I hope that he will...he's been under so much stress.
Firiel: I know... *takes one of Dred's small hands and squeezes it gently* We'll help him get through this, Dred, don't worry. He's had bad news... we just need to help him however he needs. Right now, that's just taking care of him until he wakes up.
Dred: *nods* I dont know how much I can do...like this. And I've never been good at healing anyway but...whatever you need me to do, just tell me and I will.
Firiel: *gently* Your staying with him helps. Don't let him be alone. Keep him warm, keep him company. I'll stay here with you all until he gets better.
Dred: Thank you. *smiles gratefully, looking really young and scared*
Firiel: *pulls Dred into a gentle hug* Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I won't let anything happen to any of you.
Dred: *hugs back* Thank you. Thank you so much.
Firiel: You're welcome. *quiets her voice and sits Dred down again, then gets blankets and covers Gorlim with those, draping one around Dred's shoulders as well* Now. *sits in front of Dred* How did this happen? *gestures to his body*
Dred: I...sort of flipped Eru off...
Firiel: *eyes widen* You did what?
Dred: I sort of was upset at how Eru was handling things *indicates Gorlim* and I got upset. And this is my fate. It also was apparently a bet with Bema.... I hate the Valar sometimes.
Dred: I see that now. Hopefully I'll manage to placate them enough to get fixed. Or something.
Firiel: *nods slightly, looking back at Gorlim* Soon, I hope. He needs you, you know
.
Dred: I know. I'd like to do what I can for him now, when I wasn't there for so long before...
Firiel: You couldn't have helped that, Dred. He was lost...
Dred: Still. If I had gone looking for him sooner,. Just...there was the Eomer thing and...I didn't want to believe that at first and tried to push so much away and...*shakes head*
Firiel: *squeezes his hand* You've been through a lot, dear. He'll understand that. We all do. If anyone could have done anything, it's me, or my brothers, were they not preoccupied with the wraith. Haldir, also, who found him.
Dred: Its all just such a mess. I didn't think such things were POSSIBLE.
Firiel: *slight nod* I know. Everything's a mess right now... We're working on getting rid of Adunaphel. Perhaps after that things will calm down...
Dred: Anything I can do to help?
Firiel: *looks at him for a moment* ....not in this body....
Dred: ...Okay. Good point.
Firiel: *nods* I've been helping make antidotes to poisons, but I think for now, you should just stay here and help take care of Gorlim.
Dred: Okay. I can definitely do that. *nods seriously*
Firiel: Good. That's all we need you to do. *pats his hand*
Dred: In the meantime I'll try to get this fixed. Make offerings or...something.
Firiel: That's a good idea. I can stay here with him while you're finding offerings, if you'd like.
Dred: I'd appreciate that thanks. *smiles*
Firiel: *small smile* You're welcome. *sits next to Gorlim again and strokes his hair* If you need anything, Dred, just call.
Dred: Okay. *nods, sighs and looks at Gorlim again, just hoping he'll be okay again. That something can happen.*
Firiel: *goes about fussing over Gorlim as Dred leaves*
Dred: *Is seated in a chair near Gorlim's bed, looking very concerned and stroking his hand.*
