"It's very simple," Walter said. "I did not want to break my vow, and did
so only when there was no alternative. Besides, using magic is draining
for me and reduces my ability to use it again in the immediate future.
Now Bartholomew, if you would tie up those children to prevent them from
bothering us again, I will see what I can do for our visitors. First let
me look at the young man's cut, as that is the most straightforward
thing. As I work, perhaps the two of you could tell me your story and why
Reaibn has taken such a dislike to you."
As Walter tended to Fred's cut, which he said was not serious, and then examined his and Astra's sores, the pair told their story. Fred finished by saying: "I wonder if we are being foolish. Even if we could ride, which I fear would soon become too uncomfortable for us if it isn't already, it would take us at least three days to reach Aqualaria. On foot it would take three times as long. By then we would have a couple of hundred sores. And if the sores weren't working quickly enough for Reaibn, who's to say that he mightn't inflict something even worse on us?" "I'm hoping that we might by now be beyond the range of his transforming magic," Astra said. "Else why would he have needed to employ those urchins to stop us seeing the healer? That probably doesn't help us with the spell which we are already under, though." "I have finished my examination," Walter announced at that point.
