“He lie about Froenig.” She rolled over and whimpered as it shot pain through her entire body. “Make me lie about Haelar.”

Sera glanced over about her. "What's that mean?"

She whimpered again, tossing her head. She was too hot and too cold all at once. “He want me keep… secret… for him… but then… keep secret from… me… why would I… I… do that?”

Sera gave her a long look, then went back to helping Tomhas. Rickard looked as if he were about to ask a question, but he stopped himself.

"Poor thing," Rickard murmured.
"She'll feel better when she wakes up," Sera said. "Or worse. Either way, she should be more coherent."
"...what was she talking about, with the secrets?"
"Not my business to ask her." She busied herself with more blankets. "I'll go to the source and ask Gaius. Gods know he's been acting strange anyway; I ought to check on him."

Whenever Ky wakes up and is coherent? Tomhas is gonna be feverish for awhile afterward.

(Makes sense… she should be better off than him for sure)

Ky woke up intermittently throughout the night, feeling rough. But she finally found some coherence the next morning a bit after breakfast time. She woke slowly, blinking several times as she tried to orient herself. She had no memory whatsoever from her rambles yesterday.

Gaius was sitting at Tomhas's side, eyes open but head tucked down and slumped so it looked as if he was asleep. He didn't stir when she woke.

She blinked stupidly and didn’t move, resentment bubbling up in her again. Why was he here? She didn’t want to deal with him. Maybe she could make it up to her room if she tried.

Tomhas was still asleep, red-faced and weak-looking. The skin that had died from frostbite was peeling off his face, giving him a sunburned look.

She closed her eyes, glad Sera wasn’t here. That must mean Tomhas was doing okay now or she’d be fretting. Even if he looked like hell.
