The Sunspire A penny for my thoughts

one more now that I am kinda catching up with her ^^

Vienna knew she was lucky, so very lucky. Her drive to get back to the spire after her attack, Amekaze's quick thinking and care, and Mallaidh's skill had in combination kept fever from returning due to infection. She had experienced some early on, but that was to be expected, and it had been relatively mild. Later on it would have been dangerous, and her respect and gratitude towards her two caretakers was pretty near boundless.

She still had little appetite and had dropped quite a bit of weight. Sumayl brought her food, and she tried to eat as much of it as she could. One reason being that she knew she needed to, the larger being who it was that brought it. The fact that he made the effort meant a great deal to her, and his visits as well. Honestly she would have loved to have him around more, but just as he did not wish to bother her, she did not wish to force him to remain in. Game keeping was an important job, especially now, and she didn't doubt he was in high demand to fill the role.

She'd be able to wander a bit more soon, at any rate. When her injuries didn't burn they itched, an irritating feeling but one she took to mean a good thing. She avoided scratching knowing it would undo much of the healing work but it was tough to do. Currently she had left her den and was lying in the frigid waters. She would have to get out quick or risk her health even more, but the uncomfortable water helped to keep the feeling at bay. After only a few moments she pulled herself out to lie in the sun on the bank, shaking from the cold but wounds blissfully numb for the moment at least.
