Fred Receives First Aid
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 16562
|
"So how is your leg?" Diana asked Fred. "It's not too bad," he
replied, "but I
think it needs a night's rest before I attempt to walk any distance on
it." "Let
me see," Diana said. Fred showed it to her. She made a face. "You hero
types
are too brave for your own good. It's bleeding quite badly and needs
bandaging.
Lend me your dagger, please."
Diana cut a strip some six inches wide from the hem of her skirt, and used this as a bandage for Fred's wound. "There," she said when she had finished. "That's much better." Against his will, for he still disbelieved her story, Fred was becoming more and more impressed by this young woman. "There could be more orcs in the vicinity," he said. "With my injured leg, we can't make it to the village before nightfall, but it would be dangerous to spend the night in the open. It's not far back to the cave mouth, though, and I think I can hobble that far. We'll make camp just inside. That will give us some shelter, and will also be more defensible should any more orcs show up."
