"The Healer's Secret" | Nichole, Squire, Lasguard
Squire's Tent, Day after Game 1
Meanwhile, back at the campfire, Squire chooses to go look after Nichole. She trails her to the mountain, and finds the healer
lying unconscious. Not knowing of Serafina’s plight, Squire immediately carries Nichole back to Adventure’s Outpost and begins tending to her in her tent.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Squire dips rag in clean water, wrings it out, and cleans Nicholes head wound. When finished, she sits outside the tent with her journal and waits for Nicole to wake up.

Squirewalker05/20/2019 Says in sign language: Can you speak? Approaches cautiously.
Anonymous User05/20/2019 Swings from tree and smoothly pins a knife between his feet. “You can talk from over there.”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Kicks the ground and signs: I'm not supposed to talk.
Anonymous User05/20/2019 “Why?”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Signs: Vow of silence. Points to Sir Gisgard who’s standing a ways off. I am his squire.
Anonymous User05/20/2019 “Ah.... I understand some signs. My land welcomes many people from other lands, some not able to speak.”
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Moans in her sleep, but doesn't wake up yet.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Tilts head curiously. Walks inside tent to check on her.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Has broken into a sweat, her hands clenching into fists by her side.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Gently cleans the sweat off with damp rag. Hoping to soothe her.
Anonymous User05/20/2019 “I wasn't done talking.”
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Suddenly wakes up, her eyes wide and looks around in fear. Sees Squire. “Who... Who are you?!” Sits up and begins backing away, when she abruptly covers her head with her hands and stares down at the ground. “The fire! “Where am I? Where has everyone gone!!!” Tears start streaming down her face.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Jumps back and waves her hands in a calming motion. Looks at Lasguard for help.
Anonymous User05/20/2019 “Already helped her once, don't have a reason to help her again.”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Clasps her hands and begs with her eyes.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: To no one. “STOP IT!!! Don't touch them!”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Starts.
Anonymous User05/20/2019 “She'll get over it.” Now in tree again.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Glares and goes back into the tent. Waves in her face and pats her to snap her out of it.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Hand flashes out and grabs Squire. She sees into Squire’s past.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Nicole sees mostly fear and loneliness, knowing she was abandoned at Gigards door. She also sees Guiscard fighting to keep her in the Order.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Freezes, more tears welling in her eyes... then she crumples beginning to weep.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Fear of failing Gisgard and ending up alone.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Starts to shiver. “...No... NO!!!! Caelum! CAELUM!!!!!” Screams. “CAELUM!!!!!!!” Starts to crawl out of the tent but falls to the ground at the entrance.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Meanwhile, a new stranger arrives in Donindor's camp. A bent man with a crooked cane, a long black cloak and hat, and a raven on his shoulder. His face is weathered. He doesn't speak to anyone, just wanders around the camp, when he hears Nichole's cry.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Squire gets scared again and runs out of the tent and smack into the stranger.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 He stumbles over with a cough, hits his head on the ground and goes stiff. Raven: “CRAW, watch where you are going, where you are going!”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Squire tumbles and lands on her back. Looks at Raven upside on the ground: O_o Squire looks at the unconscious stranger. Facepalm. Squire goes back to tent, dragging the stranger, and stops outside. Peeks in fearfully at Nicole. Steps inside and kneels beside her.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Has gone unconscious again. Her wound bleeding again.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Stranger moans. Raven is hopping all around his face.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Squire bandages Nicole’s wound real quick and rushes back to the stranger. Steps close and awkwardly and uncertainly tries to wave the bird off. Thinks: It didn't just talk to me, it didn't just talk to me. Looks inside tent: Your friend’s definitely not possessed, she's definitely not possessed...
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Is laying still now.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Squire drags the knocked out stranger inside tent, next to Nicole...pauses and looks at Nicole...drags him on the opposite side of the tent. Grabs parchment papers in each hand, sits between the two and fans them simultaneously.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Stranger: opens one eye suddenly. “AAARCH!” Eye twitching. Raven CRAWS at Squire, pecks at her face.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Squire jumps in fright and kicks the bird.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Raven splats against wall. “Craaaaaw....”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Freezes, immediately feeling sorry.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Stranger: Sits up. Raspy voice, touching head. “Ooo, my my my…” Waves at bird. “Never mind him, come here, Hook.”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Tilts head curiously.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Raven hops off, straightening wings. Stranger: Pets it.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Picks up a thick stick. Thinks: Just in case. Says in sign language: Are you okay?
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Stranger: “AAAH.” Signs back. Are you deaf child?
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Shakes her head.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Signs. Is your tongue cut out? Sad face.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 O_O Shakes again and signs: Its a vow. Signs: Does your bird...Pauses...Talk?
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Stranger: Starts talking. “OOOOOh, I see, child. What a good one.” Crooked smile, coughs. “Yes, this is Hook, he is quite the talker.” Raven: Squawks. ”Gotta catchum, gotta catchum.” Stranger: Laughs, petting him.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 O_o
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Looks down at Nichole. “Ooo...who's the little lady here?”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Signs: A friend.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Begins to stir.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Hurries to her side.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Stranger: takes her hand. “What a...nice little lady.” Rubs finger over the wound mark. “Looks like...she’s been in a bit of a fight.” Smile. “Very nice…” Raven: “Gotta catchum!”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Raises her stick.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Raven: “CRAW, watch out.” Ducks behind stranger's head. Stranger: “Haha!” Laughs. “No need to be afraid, she won't hurt a poor crippled man an' an old bird like you.” Grinning. “She's a good one.” Looking around. “Where is my cane?”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Looks at her stick...slowly hands it over.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Groans and eyes flicker open. “Uuuhhh…” Raises a hand to her head. “Oh.” Coughs from nausea.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Stranger: Watching her very intently, fingering his cane.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Squire slowly waves to her.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Looks over and sees Squire and the stranger. “Squire?”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Squire clasps her hands together in joy.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Stranger: Grins. “Oh, good, she is well.” Raven: “Well! Gotta catchum!”
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Blinks at the talking bird. Pales as she looks over at Squire, realizing what just happened.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Squire signs: This is a talking bird. And... Realizes she doesn't know the strangers name.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Stranger: Doesn't respond to her. “I see you are friends.” Hobbles up. “I will let you talk together, and I need to get on my way, right, Hook?” Looks at Raven. Raven purrs.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Squire holds up a finger to tell him to wait.
Commando Chipmunk05/20/2019 Stranger: Keeps hobbling out the tent.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Forces herself to swallow back her nerves.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Grabs some dried beef and turns around signing: For knocking you out. Sees he’s gone. Shrugs and eats it. Offers some to Nicole.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Looks at the beef, but doesn't take any... becomes very quiet. ... “Squire... what happened. A little bit ago, I mean, what did you see?”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Pauses. Signs finally: A lot. Nibbles awkwardly on beef.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Bites her lower lip, nervous. “Did anyone else see?”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Looks outside. Signs: Stranger might have heard a little.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Glances the direction the stranger went. Gets really quiet. After a moment, says softly, “I know... it must have seemed strange…”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Kicks awkwardly at the ground. Finally looks at her and signs: Who's Caelum?
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Stills. Bites her lip harder. “It's... hard to explain.” Takes a deep breath.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Signs: I understand. Thinks: You and your stupid curiousity Squire.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 “This may sound strange... but I'm not sure who he is exactly. I mean I know... but I don't know him personally.”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 O_o
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Tries to keep her hands from shaking from nerves. “I'll try to explain but you can't let anyone know... it would be dangerous... Promise me you won't tell anyone.” Looks pleadingly.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Looks away for a moment. Thinks of Guiscard. Looks back and signs: I won’t tell anyone.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Searches her face... or what she can see of it, then nods. Bites her lip again and fidgets trying to think of where to begin. “I-- uh... Well.... what all did I say?”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Taps her foot thinking back. Signs it out slowly then quickly ramps up to be indecipherably Flaps her hands. Waves her arms, and falls on the ground.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Holds a hand up. “Wait, Squire, not so fast.” Pauses. Takes her hand and holds it lightly. Gives her hands a gentle squeeze. “I'm... I'm sorry, Squire. No'Preom. I'm sorry for what you've been through. “I see why you are so loyal Sir Guiscard.”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 O_o
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Tears well up in her eyes, but she gives Squire a small sympathetic smile. Looks down at her hands and lets go. “First off, I want to say, I didn't mean to invade your privacy. I can't do that easily... only when... times like what just happened happen.” “Takes another deep breath You see... where I come from we are known for our Herbs, herbalists, and healers…” “But we also have something else that we try to keep quiet unless it is genuinely needed.” “Some of us are born with a special ability... it-- it allows us to help people. See, after the wars, and so much tragedy people can't... they don't know how to get past it.” “We have special healers that can help those people, because... because we can see what happened to them, feel their feelings.” “It helps us and them so we can share empathy.” “Everything I probably said... were the traumatic experiences others have had…” A trail of tears falls down her right cheek.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 O_O
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Looks away and out the tent. “There was a father, he lost his wife, two daughters, and a son in a terrible fire. He came back from hunting to find his whole homestead ablaze…” “A young girl who was silent for years from seeing her family murdered before her eyes…” “A boy who watched his brother... Caelum... drown in a frozen lake. Unable to save him and almost froze to death himself…”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Squire holds up her hand for her to stop. Her eyes look hard and afraid. Signs: Are you saying you have my memories? And the memories of others? And my memories?!
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: “... I saw some…” “Yes.”
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Looks away troubled.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 “You have to believe me, I didn't mean to invade your privacy. It goes against our principles to force our abilities onto people.” “I'm so sorry.” Hangs her head.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 ...... She slowly turns and taps her on the shoulder to look up.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Hesitantly looks up at Squire.
Squirewalker05/20/2019 Eyes look gentle. Signs: You trusted me with your secrets...I will now trust you with mine. Kneels to eye level and the look turns serious. Signs: Just understand that I will be in a lot of trouble if you tell anyone.
VioletofSherwood05/20/2019 Nichole: Nods. “You-- you don't have to tell me. I understand needing to keep secrets.” Thinks about their being more to the story she hadn't told yet.
