How long? How long had she been sitting there? It felt like days... The pain only makes it seem longer. It never leaves... No matter what she does...
The young woman lifts her head gripping her shoulder as she hears the approach of another person, she relaxes ever so slightly when she notices it is Ecladhreth offering a slight nod as he moves to sit next to her a small smile on his face.
The young lad pulls out a bridle showing it to her with a bright smile inspiring the tiniest smile out of her, only for a moment as her pain returns twofold, she begins shaking a pained expression on her face.
Ecladhreth watches for a moment a puzzled but sad expression on his face as she shakes, he decides to try and comfort her by hugging her. She doesn't stop him but it serves only to make her shake more in the moment, he waits for a moment to see if she would improve in any sort of way before letting her go under the assumption he was doing harm.
Eadegwen continues shaking as she grips her shoulder hard. She closes her eyes to avoid something she can't avoid, beginning to mutter to herself in the language of her homeland flinching occasionally, unfortunately leaving Ecladhreth concerned. Disheartened he decides to lay across her lap in an attempt at distracting her, she jumps pushing him off much harder than she wanted to "I-I... sorry..." she says as he bounces slightly before sitting up rubbing his shoulder.
Eadegwen shakes holding the top of her head panicking as she doesn't like hurting people at all. Ecladhreth reaches out and touches her hands softly. 'No h-hurt-t-t.' It comes out little more then a whisper and with the gravely texture of sharp pebbles on dry hard ground. Eadegwen calms slightly but only slightly looking up at him "Al-Alright then..." Ecladhreth gives her a small smile before giving her a bit of space. Eadegwen continues shaking still looking panicked but one of her hands moves her her right thigh as a pain grows there. Ecladhreth watches her but doesn't try to reach out again. Eadegwen rocks trying to calm herself muttering quietly clearly in pain again.
Ecladhreth moves closer and pulls her into a hug again. Eadegwen doesn't stop him sobbing quietly "[R]Why... Why..." she says meekly in her native language. Ecladhreth rubs her back softly while holding her close. Eadegwen occasionally flinches violently still muttering to herself. Ecladhreth continues to rub her back, resting his chin on her head. Eadegwen startles heavily with a loud yelp lifting her head, clutching at her thigh. Ecladhreth winces as her head connects with the bottom of his jaw. He holds his mouth tightly closed for the moment a swallowing sound coming from his throat. Eadegwen holds her thigh still looking pained before that quickly turns to panic facing eclad. Ecladhreth looks at her rather calmly though he keeps his mouth closed still. Eadegwen starts shaking heavily freaking out now "I... I... Sorry... I can't..." she says breathing rapidly looking like she might faint.
Ecladhreth holds her tightly and rubs her back to comfort her. Eadegwen squirms trying to get out of his arms and trying to calm down and not faint "No.... No no no... I hurt...you..." she trails off slumping against the wall.
She comes to in a room of the pony as Ecladhreth grabs a tankard and spits the blood that was in his mouth into it as quietly as he can. Eadegwen opens her eyes slightly catching the end of him doing that "I... I..." Ecladhreth looks at her and covers his mouth quickly. Eadegwen shakes her head weakly covering her eyes nigh on fainting again "No... No no no..." Ecladhreth moves over and gently takes one of her hands pulling himself in to hug her. "N-n-no h-h-urt-t." Eadegwen makes a horribly weak attempt at pushing him off out of reflex before giving up. Ecladhreth just stays there with a worried look a tiny bit of blood dripping over the center of his bottom lip.
Eadegwen opens her eyes fully, spotting the blood "No no no... I hurt..." she trails off meekly. Ecladhreth shakes his head quickly in a gesture of denial, Eadegwen shakes her head violently "B-But I did... I... I can't..." Ecladhreth hugs her gently still shaking his head Eadegwen taps her foot restlessly clearly panicked and pained "I... I can't... I did... Why..." she pauses slightly slipping back into her native language "[R] No... No... Mother..." she trails off breathing rapidly again.
Ecladhreth continues to hug her while watching her. Eadegwen grips her right thigh hard with a yelp still unable to escape the past, Ecladhreth grabs her hand after she does to stop her. Eadegwen stops startling out of the visions "I... Sorry..." Ecladhreth gives her a small smile, still holding her hand, Eadegwen places her face in her free hand just shaking her head. Ecladhreth looks at her with a worried look. He looks at her while still kneeling beside her, Eadegwen grimaces "I... I don't want to... Hurt..." she trails off trying to regain some composure.
Ecladhreth shakes his head again and looks at her not noticing the smeared blood around his bottom lip. Eadegwen cringes moving her hand to her thigh again looking pained. Ecladhreth grabs her other hand to keep her from hurting herself, Eadegwen is stopped again so she just leans over sobbing quietly looking away from eclad "[R] Mother..." she says almost inaudibly. Ecladhreth lets go of Ead's hands in favor of hugging her before suddenly putting his hand to his mouth as he coughs, Eadegwen looks back to him concerned after the cough "No no no... I hurt...You..." Ecladhreth shakes his head again as a bit of blood drips from the corner of his mouth.
Eadegwen looks panicked again "No..." Ecladhreth just looks a bit confused at her reaction. Eadegwen places her hands on her head again shaking heavily "I... Sorry..." Ecladhreth reaches out to grab her hands softly. Eadegwen recoils this time "No... I keep... Hurting..." she trails off breathing rapidly again, Ecladhreth shakes his head at her words.
Eadegwen moves a hand to her thigh rubbing it after a slight pause "I... Do..." Ecladhreth shakes his head more, Eadegwen shakes heavily clutching at her thigh again as the pain grows worse "You're... Bleeding..." Ecladhreth looks confused again. Eadegwen grimaces leaning forward rocking slightly the pain being almost unbearable now "You... You're bleeding..." Ecladhreth looks at his hand before quickly wiping his mouth with the back of it. Eadegwen grimaces in pain looking panicked "I.. I hurt..." she trails off clearly not doing well. Ecladhreth shakes his head again, He gets up and looks at the tankard on the table. He frowns at the fact they are empty and holds up his other hand in a sign to wait as he moves towards the doorway. Eadegwen nods slightly before gripping her thigh and rocking slowly. Eadegwen says, Ecladhreth moves towards the mainroom.
Why? Why? Why is it getting worse? The mark left as another reminder… Bloody hands…
Ecladhreth returns with two tankards, He walks over to Ead and holds one out to her. Eadegwen takes it with one hand leaving the other on her thigh still clearly in pain. Ecladhreth sets the other down the table for the moment as he moves to the logs by the fire, He tosses a few into the fire place careful to keep the sparks from flying everywhere. Eadegwen shies away from anything to do with the fire though her focus is still on her leg. Ecladhreth moves back to her once he is done and grabs the tankard again, Eadegwen shakes her head gripping her thigh "I can't... I hurt... Y-You..." Ecladhreth shakes his head before sipping the drink, He makes a face and holds out his tongue as the drink causes it to sting. Eadegwen shakes gripping harder noting his pain "I... I... You..." she trails off breathing too fast again.
Ecladhreth sets the tankard down and quickly moves over to hug her. Eadegwen recoils panicking "No... no no no... I'll just... Hurt you..." she says looking faint again.,Ecladhreth shakes his head. He presses his forehead to hers to show his forgiveness. Eadegwen recoils shaking her head "No... I can't..." she pauses for a moment panicking "You'll just..." she trails off. Ecladhreth keeps his forehead there while reaching for her hands. Eadegwen squirms kicking out slightly with a yelp. Ecladhreth looks surprised and backs away quickly. Eadegwen wraps her arms around her head rocking and shaking "No... I-I can't... Please..." she pauses for a moment slipping into her native language again "[R] No no no no…”
Ecladhreth furrows his brow. He rubs his thigh where he was kicked. Eadegwen shakes heavily freaking out "No no no no... I... Again..." Ecladhreth reaches out to hug her again. Eadegwen startles again kicking out as she looks around panicking "No no no no..." she says letting out a yelp. Ecladhreth makes a stange look before his hands fly to his crotch where she kicked him, He collapses while gasping. Eadegwen shakes her head as her hands shoot to her thigh clutching around a specific area doubling over in pain "No!" she says louder than she intended. Ecladhreth jumps and scoots back into a corner still making the weird face.
Eadegwen falls off the chair with a thud gripping her thigh hard. Ecladhreth looks to her but doesn't move to her from where he was doubled over in pain Eadegwen curls up into the fetal position cringing occasionally "I... I can't... Sorry..." she says quietly. Ecladhreth crawls over to her and puts a hand on her shoulder. Eadegwen has slipped into a different world, reaching out for someone that couldn't reach back in the moment and isn't there now. She reaches over Ecladhreth as he pulls her close not realizing who she was reaching out for, he holds her close as she continues reaching past him "[R] Mother... Mother…”
She’s gone… And It’s your fault…
She puts her head in her hands before ripping them away as they felt like they did at that time...
Wet... Stained...
