[The Imperial March]
"Well, this should be easy then." Andrea goes down to the camp and then trots out to the fringe jungle, making sure to pick up her and Vala's weapons.
"Milady, if I may resume our earlier talk?" Vala speaks up along the way.
"Prithee go ahead."
"Whilst thine body is quite vigorous day in and out-"
"Please, Vala, don't give these gentlemen the wrong idea."
"Eehh?! No, I wasn't-" Vala turns her eyes up and takes a deep breath as the redness leaves her cheeks. This teasing happens too often for her to remain flustered for long.
"Ugh, I shalt cut straight to the heart: Thou needs to learn something of the healing and physicking arts, to dress our wounds when no proper maester may be found. Lest we become beholden to another such as we are now..." she trails off to look expectantly at Andrea, inwardly questioning her decision to give her mistress an imperative.
"Mine calling is to knighthood, not that of a physician," Andrea declares. Vala looks down and starts to apologize, but Andrea cuts her off.
"No, I understand thy concern. But 'twould be a long and uncertain venture. Our transiency precludes finding an instructor, for one."
"Miss Judy can show thou the basics! I saw her treat-"
"Easy, easy. Thou has shown thy resolve enough. Very well, I will try my best."
"Truly?" Vala looks at her with incredulity.
"Aye, if I can count on thee to do the same."
"Yes!" Vala does a small jump in triumph. "Ah, another matter. I wish to resume the regimen of Power Most Extreme."
Now it is Andrea's turn to be incredulous. "Ho? What brought this on?"
"There's nothing like being helpless in battle to motivate a girl to become stronger."
The horsewoman lets out a hearty laugh. "That's the spirit! We shall make a knight of thee yet."
As they continue, Andrea ruminates on advancing her healing skill. After all, there are many benefits to increasing the amount of injuries one can afford to take...
Once they arrive at one of the attack sites, Andrea will examine where the beasts' tracks came from and begin following them backwards, paying attention to their number and then the spacing between each footprint that was made before they came into contact with Confederate soldiers."The beasts did not need to move full speed before fighting," she explains, "If the prints be'est farther apart it means they ran the entire distance, which may indicate their lair is nearby."
"Well, this should be easy then." Andrea goes down to the camp and then trots out to the fringe jungle, making sure to pick up her and Vala's weapons.
