"What took you so long?" Karri said weakly, and with a bit of a slur, as she saw Teseada enter her room. She was propped up in her bed with some pillows and she had her arm in a sling tucked against her. "I told them to wait, but they made me drink the juice and now I'm sleepy."
"I, I was with Y'nub," was all the young goldrider could say. "I had to grab a bath and get dressed first." What had her friend done to herself.
"How did you end up in here?"
Karri shook her head, but the movement looked over exaggerated, "No, no, not Y'nub." she muttered, "He's lying to you."
"What?" Surely Karri was still disorientated from the medicine the healers had given her. "No, he's not, he came here to be with me once I found out you were in here." Teseada grabbed a chair and put it close to the bed before sitting down. "He was even going to come with me and see how you are."
"I heard him talking." She assured as she fought to keep her eyes open. This was too important, she had to tell her... but all she wanted to do was sleep. "It was a bet to bed you... to win Onnyth's flight."
"You're joking right? It's the medicine."
"Heard him..." she mumbled one last time before the drugs finally forced her into unconsciousness.
Teseada was sure her friend must have misheard something, that and whatever the healers had given her. She was confused, that's all, and as soon as she woke up Karri would tell her what had really happened.
****************
Karri was roused from sleep by hands touching an pulling on her, and a sharp pain in her arm. She opened her eyes and saw two healers leaving and Teseada sitting in a chair next to her bed. "Hey." she mumbled weakly. "How long have you been here?"
"About a candlemark."
"Sorry you had to wait," the greenrider said with a sigh as she tried to sit herself up without jarring her broken arm.
"Don't be, you'd do the same for me."
She nodded her assurance but then stopped and pursed her lips as she fought to remember something, "Were you here before?" she asked, not quite sure she hadn't dreamed it.
"I was, but... But you weren't making much sense."
Karri reached for the cup of water with her unbroken arm and took a long drink as she tried to remember what had happened in her not-dream.
"I told you about Y'nub?" she said finally, not quite sure, and desperately hoping she hadn't. She had wanted to break it too her somewhat easy... but that sort of thing probably wasn't ever easy.
"You said something, something about lying. But you were so confused, it didn't make sense."
"I don't know how to tell you this exactly..." Karri mumbled as she looked down at her bed. When she had first overheard Y'nub she had wanted to tell Teseada immediately, to prove her suspicions correct.
Now, with her friend looking so confused, Karri was more concerned about hurting her.
