Taking care of Ser Duncan the Tall after the trial
You had been scared the entire time of the trial. Even when Dunk had held Aerion in front of the noble court. Forcing him to say again what he had told him moments before.
Even when everyone celebrated their win. You only saw red.
Dunk had been beaten brultally and his entire body was full of mud and blood. One of his eyes was badly swollen and made it impossible for him to see. Moments before getting up again and winning against that stupid blonde prince, he had lain in the dirt. Looking almost dead. Your heart had stopped when you heard Eggs Screams. Tears falling down to the ground when dunk wouldn’t get up again. You thought you had lost him in that very second.
And even though you were overjoyed that he survived you were still afraid anything could happen to him.
You ran to him when he came limping towards his other comrades.
Without overthinking you gave him a hug and thanked the Seven for giving him the strength to survive.
„ Ser. I thought I lost you.“
With a bittersweet smile dunk held your hand“ I m alright M’lady. You shouldn’t have been watching. This is far too gruesome for a young lady“
You helped him limp to a bench in the corner setting his massive body against the wall. He was groaning in pain.
„ I need to get this armor of of you, so we can clean your wounds“
He only nodded, and started carefully lifting his body so you could remove the metal from his forearm.
You brought a cloth with fresh water and started cleaning his face. All of the sweat and blood came off and you could finally see a bit of that gentle giant again.
His injured eye was making you flinch again. It truly looked bad and you couldn’t bring yourself to touch it. Even going around the bruises made Dunk hiss in pain and you knew he tried to stay strong with you in front of him. It must have hurt immensely.
You cleaned his neck with one hand and with the other you gently caressed his face. The blue eye never leaving yours.
He wished he could tell you how much this meant to him. Nobody had ever looked after him like this. But his mind was still at what had happened earlier and his voice to raspy to speak. Everything hurt and he didn’t know how he was gonna make it through the night.
Your gentle voice soothing him, lulling him into a sleep like state.
After you had patched him up and cleaned all of his wounds, you helped him to the nearest tent. Helping him lay down and covering his injured body with a warm blanket.
You knew he needed more help, someone who knew more about injuries like that. You didn’t wanna leave him alone but finding help was more important than your feelings now.
When you turned around, you could feel him reaching for your hand.
Dunk had opened his none injured eye again and looked up at you with a soft smile.
Even with all of his injuries he still looked really handsome. You bent down and gave him a quick kiss on the forehead.
He was blushing, his entire face turning pink. You knew you probably looked the same. You could feel the heat in your cheeks and your frown turning into a bashful smile.
„I’ll be right back, my dearest knight.“
