#baronyofthesilverwolf

A figure sneaks into the hold grounds. As the dogs aren't barking are upset, it must be someone they know and trust

It is possible a nocker (or two) might notice someone slipping by trying to go in through a workshop to avoid the Baron's attention

(Perception plus Alertness, 3 sux needed, 2 if you have a dog with you)

/roll 6 and muppet

So it is, that Nadeen makes the mistake of trying to slip in through Thistle's kiln area. It's her hold, but soon it becomes apparent while she is avoiding Barons and likely trolls. For she is wounded.

She has bandaged up her arm with strips of her own garment and another about her waist. Hasty bandage work but it seems to be clotting

Muppet spots her first.

And then..... CHime?

One bell, then another... oh, this was a bad idea.

A sigh and a mutter "Och, po prostu przejechaj mnie już czołgiem."

Muppet is quiet, but SNUFFLES.

"Oy, what's all that racket?"

"Good dog, Muppet" Ahem "It's just me, Thistle. Pay no nevermind" But WHY is she in the workshop "All is well"

Then there is more chiming...

then a loud sigh "And can you...quiet your never mob down?"

"Are you smuggling skittles or something? Did you need me?" She leaves her project and is approaching.

"No no, not smuggling skittles" Odd, the Baroness almost sounds, evasive mixed with nervous "Let's not trouble the thanes or Baron mmm?"

Thistle tilts her head, looking Nadeen over.

And yes, she can see the injuries, the makeshift bandages may have stopped bleeding from going far, but they're blood stained to be sure.

"There was... an incident" Nadeen says delicately

The damage appears purely chimerical though it's hard to tell what caused it with the voile strips in the way

Her eyes go WIDE. "Holy )&^()*(&!!"

"Relax. I'm a sidhe, blood loss just makes my skin look like alabaster" Primly "Psychka is going to be annoyed with me. She's training with our Kennelmistress so I didn't take her away for escort. I did have my blade though. Snowblind came in handy"

"What happened? Was it Thallain?"

"A chimera actually, nasty thing. " A proud look "I beat it myself though. To be fair, my cantrips turned the tide , it was pretty close there for a moment"

"It's dead? What kind of chimera? Do you need heatherbalm? Or the fire?"

"I'm sure they'll say I do" She observes "It was an odd great cat, larger than a puma really, but with many legs and tendrils with barbs as well as claws and fangs. I had a devil of a time finding out where it really was. It attacked me by ambush, I almost didn't notice it in time. Then I swung and discovered it was always a few feet away from where it seemed to be... like a refraction in water? Or a distorted glass?"

"It's not good if it attacks out of nowhere." A frown. "Um, you're bleeding."

"Tis but a scratch" Recalling Vali's monty python quotes

Brow.

"I have a sink, we can wash it out."

"I can tend my own wounds , truly." She says though she does look pale "I just need to sneak towards the fire without ...bothering anyone"

A blue on on her shoulder.

"Yes yes, you're very alert" She tells the ice blue one "And noisy"

Chime! Pale Blue preens at the praise!

"You look... well, not like crap, I think sidhe cheat. But you don't look healthy. You need an arm to lean on?"

A pause, pride wars with practicality, then "I would not say no"

Harrumph. "Don't want to have to clean up too much blood in my workshop." She offers Nadeen an arm.

"It's bandaged. I'm not dripping" A protest. But she takes the arm and gets support "mmm you're stronger than you look"

"Wiry!"

A chuckle "That you are" That said, at steps Nadeen does give a slight wince. That wound at her side is aggravated by it

"Maybe I could get Gwen?" Helping Nadeen along.

"No trolls" She says "At least not yet. They get all stressed out like they failed just becase they can't be everywhere"

"Anyone else have Heatherbalm?"

"Oh I'll just heal by the fire, it's fine" She fusses "But I think one of the Thanes can and I believe Dee learned it but she's better with animals"

FROWN.

"Why are you being sneaky about this?"

"For numerous reasons. I don't want to be fussed at. I don't want to upset everyone. And... it's kind of a challenge don't you think?"
