when: flashback to fall of aventia
note: shield maidens in the house
Fyren had been within the tent, medicating wounded pride along with whatever physical injuries his polymorph had sustained when they'd brought the shieldmaiden within. There seemed to be plenty of fuss, mostly from the warrior, assuring she was fine despite the way she winced with every breath. A split lip showed any visible injury to the Crinth, but their body had taken quite a hit, mottled glints of purple and yellow already forming beneath their clothing. Fyren had abandoned the heavy armor, strewn next to the cot they'd been allotted, and they listened intently, eavesdropping on many conversations between medic and medic, and medic and patient.
Many were not humble, if they were coherent enough to be treated, and Fyren often found that the ones who did not protest healing were those that often were brought in unconscious. When the shieldmaiden had been appointed to the empty cot beside them, Fyren tried not to sport a smile, though he nodded as the other made herself comfortable; it'd been a quick assessment that clearly warranted her the same fate as Fyren. Some scope of bedrest until the healer had time to mend sprained ribs and broken bones.
The dragon, despite any injuries sustained in this weaker form, nodded in greeting, as though it was a must they chat as cot neighbors. "The battle may not rest but it is imperative that you try," he'd noted the way she had dared, almost immediately, to dash off onto the battlefield once again, "May your hand be ungentle towards all those in opposition of us, shieldmaiden." Fyren tried to sit upwards, a small wince noted as they held their hand, balled in a loose fist, over their chest under their decree.
