When Elaine returned to consciousness she would find she was warm, and dry, resting under heavy blankets.  The light was dim, coming from a brazier in which a small pile of lit coals cast a little light, and heat in the room she was in. to that end there was canvas over her head, the sound of rain pattering on it told the tale of a continued downpour. She was in a tent, on a cot of some kind, her wounds had all been tended carefully, cleaned, those that needed bandages were covered, and she was dressed now in a plain white shift, the dress she had been wearing nowhere to be found.<br/><br/>She would have a few moments to wonder about being undressed when a woman entered the tent with a candle. The woman was tall, thin, though strong looking, she had hair cropped much sorter than one would expect for a woman and wore trousers and a tunic, though currently had an apron on as well. she carried a bowl with some sort of liquid in her other hand. she moved to the cot and knelt.<br/><br/>“good you are awake” she said quietly she set the bowl down and dipped a cloth into the water it held, wringing it out before brushing it across Elaine’s forehead “the commander will be pleased” she said quietly “how do you feel, hungry I’d imagine”  she said “no fever so that is a blessing, I’ll go let the commander know you are up, and pester the cooks for a meal.<br/><br/>With that, the woman, a healer it seemed, stood and left the tent, leaving the candle. It was a short time later that the flap opened again, this time, however, Theasar entered the tent. He had changed out of the heavy armor he had been wearing before, and was dressed now more casually.<br/><br/>“I think you are going to survive,” he said with the hint of a smile he carried a tray, on which a bowl rested, steaming with something that filled the tent with the scents of stew, a small round loaf of bread could be seen, and a clay mug held something to drink. He carried the tray to a small camp table and set it down. “do you feel able to get up or do you need help?”<br/>
