Two Rivers Isle Kaleidoscope mind

"Your head looks fine," Bat reported, then shook her own head slowly. "No, I'm not a Blackthorn." She paused when Apple pointed to the plateau and asked if they lived there.

Here she trailed off again, thrown quite off kilter by this whole situation.

But Bat was a little afraid of moving the woman, particularly forcing her across the river. So she looked around herself and said, "Why don't we find someplace warm and dry to rest? Maybe that'll help." She had no idea, but rest couldn't hurt, could it?
