Xavier groaned and passed out from the pain.

Managed to catch him as he toppled over and to lay him on a horse blanket she had taken from one of their mounts. Unconsciousness would help him with the next step, stitching the wound. She had cut most of his leather jerkin away when she dealing with the arrow, she now removed the final sticky pieces from the wound.
Lilith hadn't brought full surgical supplies but she had with her, as always, her embroidery. She boiled two of her needles and some undyed thread in a small cup she carried with her, and then proceeded to stitch the wound up as best she could. She bound up the wound with strips of a silk nightdress she had intended for a quite diferent use.
Petra's eyes were large at her uncle lying unconscious but she fetched and carried without a murmur.

Night was drawing in as Lilith finished bandaging Xavier. Unfortunately they weren't carrying any of the food with them so they had to hunt for dinner. Luckily a rabbit came out to eat in the dusky light and practically fell upon Petra's arrow. They skinned and roasted it for dinner and then made a broth for Xavier from the bones. Lilith could barely get him to drink from the mug, their only dish, but he finally took enough sips that the worst of her concerns were eased.
As full darkness set in, she positioned Xavier between Petra and herself and draped the horse blankets over all three of them. She mentally promised all their mounts lovely new blankets when this adventure was over.
Xavier slept fitfull and kept Lilith awake with his fever dreams. His forehead was warm, too warm. Lilith kept placing cold compresses on his head. Between nursing Xavier and keeping an ear open for visitors, she had a wretched night.

Meanwhile, back in the Uplands, the Black Widow's Band takes leave of Lady Haley and her children. They heartily thank her for her kind hospitality and for the much needed rest and relaxation they received there.
After some prodding by his mates, one of the Fair 17 came forward. Haley thought he was awfully girlish looking.
"My lady, my family is from The Reach. I was wondering if you could use a guard in your household. I have some healing skills as well as weapons training and I am good with children. I have lots of brothers and sisters."

Haley looks this Fair one up and down, "Very well then if Lady Lilith says that i should take you i shall. But understand this I already have a personal guard from my husband so dont try anything. Also if you are to guard me you are going to need a name so what is it boy."

The soft voiced guard stuttered, "Jey--Jeyson Ashford, m'lady." The guard straightened his shoulders. "I would be proud to serve you in any way, m'lady."

Tassa inspected the land with a critical eye, muttering how any animal raised in such a soft environment could develop into useful creatures. Swallowing her disgust, she gestured decisively to a vast, flat area that would tolerate the sort of construction they had in mind.

Victor walked up to her, "Lady Tassa I am glad that you have arrived Ser Nathan with the rest of the Horses should be here soon."

Tessa nodded brusquely, not wishing to remember. “We will see about these horses. I only breed excellence,” she said skeptically.

"Many of them come from your former husbands group but there are some Westeros horses they are huge beasts used to carry Knights in full plate. What can I get for you to break your fast?"

Ooc: I have this inexplicable desire to make her a crazy German. Probably because there are lots of crazy Germans in the horse world.
"We will see," she persisted in her skeptical, obdurate way, hoping that she would be proved wrong for once.
"Anything. I would like to try some of your food now that I am in a new place. Then we must begin work on the animals' enclosures."

"Agreed Agreed." Victor runs into the keep and orders a few Servants about then returns, "What things will you need for this enclosure?"

"We will need wood for a fence, and brick later for the actual enclosure. Your lord wants this as grand as possible, after all."
