"Please, please, please..."

A gulp of the medication...and then... "Aim her butt away from you!" The boy orders "AND me" As he casts a cantrip on the monkey

"Oh, gross."

If the butt is aimed at the "dead" nocker, well...

IT's amazing what an anti toxin superlaxitive with a bunk for added expelling power can do

amazing... and very very gross

That said, the same magic power that lets the little monkey eat twice her weight in fruit and be fine and dandy seems to have her recovering quite quickly from the event as her eyes find focus "That WAS bad fruit. IT made me toot splash. Snow is very very sorry"

Star tosses her mane and dances away from THAT. The Monkey is well - but it is a TERRIBLE monkey.

"Shh, it's okay if you're okay. Bad fruit."

"No fruit from anybody but people you know, okay? Me, or Tove or Dad or Kerri."

"Or Connor."

Squire Brogan takes a breath "She's going to need rest ..maybe not that much. She's a remakably resilient bit of chimera. But I'd like to take her into the lodge"

Snow says "Snow does feel.. a bit wobbly. Ugh."

"Yeah. Hm. Chief is out, right? And Frank..." Frown. "Is Olgar around?"

"We're gonna go by the fire Snow. Take care of you." She promises.

"Gerd is here.." he says 'Ready to pick up or transport folks. "

"I don't...I..." She frowns and looks over at the Mess.

Star is kicking snow and dirt over the mess. If some clumps of dirt also rain onto the nocker, so be it.

A grunt One that is ..wonderful to hear!

A nicker towards Dagmar. Flicking her ears at Stormwake. (Watch the nasty one. If she moves, step on her!)

Jaymes has appeared

And Jaymes sees his daughter cradling Snow. Some blood spattered on her, and she looks distressed... but not hurt. No, that would be the unconscious girl with the twisted leg.

He moves to his daughter first, "Get snow inside. This girl, was she another assassin?"

"She tried to poison the horses."

"But I... the apple was on the ground, and Snow..."

"I didn't protect her." Distress!

"Snow will be fine, sir" Squire Brogan says "She's just going to be tender for a while. If Dagmar hadn't called out, snow might have died."

Jaymes nods to both then says to Dagmar "Even the greatest trolls in history missed things. It happens. That does not make the evil of others your fault just because it happened . Get snow inside. I'll.." He looks at the nocker and wrinkles his nose "I'll clean up this"

"I... I probably broke the code..."

"We'll worry about that later" He assures "Now is not the time to judge yourself. Now is the time to get the one you protect to safety" A nod to Snow again "Or order the squire to do it."

"I'll take her." Dagmar is moving from distressed to subdued, now that the adrenaline is easing.

Brogan nods "I'll prepare a fruit juice that will set on her belly easier"

"Thanks, Brogan."

She drifts towards the Lodge, sans weapon.

Snow says "I am.. very weak. Almost too weak to hold fruit. I did not think that possible" A confession

as they settle by the fire

Dagmar finds a bit of food brought to her as well, it smells good. While Snow is given juice of a less acidic content than some fruits.

"When you feel better, I will make you a berry pie and cobbler and banana pudding..." Promises.

"Oh you are a good friend, Dagmar. A good friend. Snow is sorry she does not listen fast. Fruit is my one weakness, well, fruit and more fruit. I cannot resist it is so fruity, but I should have listened when you said no, but I know that I wll not learn." A sigh "And I have made you sad by not listening. Snow is sorry"

"It's okay. Its not your fault. I know you love apples."

"Apples are SO good" she says

Jaymes comes in and lays a clean Flyswatter down near Dagmar

"...Sorry Dad."

"You should keep track of your weapon. That said, you were worried for a friend" he shrugs

"...Sorry..."

Snow has fallen sleep. Dagmar is acutely aware of the little monkey's breathing

Jaymes looks at her, "What are you apologizing about, exactly?" A hand on his daughter's hand

"I.."

"I had the nocker pinned down."

He is patient
