He looked down at her with a small frown. "And frost-addled." He switched to stilted Upper Tongue. "What happened?"

“I’m sleep… you’re hot. Too hot.” She shook her head. “Skin fire.”

"No, I take you Sera." He pointed ahead. "You cold and dying. Sera fix you."

“Yeah… I will.” She nodded, resolving that was the case. Even if she had to take herself. She was going home. Soon. And seeing Raina’s first steps.

He carried her up to the infirmary. Sera was bent over Tomhas, bandaging his blistered hands and applying salve to his face. He was wrapped in blankets and a warm cup of tea was sitting on the nightstand. Off to one side, Rickard was pacing anxiously as he watched Sera work.

Ky was still babbling incoherently. “No…in…mary mary… yes bed. Home bed. Mama. No in mary.”

Ivar set her down a few beds away from Tomhas.
"She's very far gone," he said to Rickard, approaching. "My people would be preparing funeral rites at this stage."
"She's from the South," Rickard pointed out, glancing at Ky with pity in his eyes. "She's not used to being up here..."
"All the more reason for concern." Ivar looked toward Sera. "But that woman has worked miracles before. Perhaps she will work a few more and save their lives."

“Mamamam… not my bed,” she grumbled, not sure where she was. “My bed… big fur. And put cat. My cat on bed. Me no cat. Where?”

Sera went to tend to her next, checking her fingers and toes for frostbite first.

Ky hissed at her and pulled away, eyes closed. “Bad kitty. No bite.”

they say money can't buy happiness, but what they don't realize is that money *can* buy novelty socks.
