Not very long but I needed to get some thing up.
Alex moaned as she looked at the wounded men around her. Terri chuckled at her friend's facial expression regarding the unsightly injuries. The young woman was about to walk over to her friend when she caught jerking movements out of the corner of her eye. A boy about 15 or 16 was writhing on his sleeping pad over to her left. He had a large and deep cut across his shoulder. Not until she had gotten closer did she notice he had broken his collarbone and it was sticking out against the skin.
Alex remembered when Terri had done the same thing when they were 18. She kneeled beside him.
"Here bite this," she grabbed a rag, "I know how to fix your shoulder, but it's going hurt." He nodded and closed his eyes. She placed her hands on his shoulders.
"AAAAAAAA," the boy mumbled through the rag. SNAP!
"Ai ya, that is much better." He turned to her, "thank you. Who are you? I have not seen you before."
"I'm Alexia Sone, that's my friend Terri Locks."
"I am Lindon, son of Lindor. Of what age are you good lady?"
"23," she looked at the youngin' beside her.
"oh, well," he blushed, "Thank you. Is there anything I must do?"
"A cool cloth and a sling will help you ride. Other than that just rest." She smiled and went back over to Terri who was just wrapping an arm wound on another man.
Aragorn was studying the women who had mysteriously appeared after the great battle. Haldir was asleep having had his needs tended to. Legolas was beside hi also watching. Eomer finally broke the silence.
"What are we going to do about them?"
"We'll take them with us. Since Theoden asked us to accompany him and Gandalf to Isengard they will come along so we can question them. If they are spies they will not want to go and that will be the first test." Legolas nodded. Eomer looked thoughtful.
"We don't have any extra horses."
"We will have to deal with that when the time comes. For now we should leave Haldir to rest. I must speak with the king. Legolas will watch them while I talk to Gandalf and the king?"
"Yes. Be swift, we leave in a few hours." Aragorn nodded and left. Also standing Eomer bid the Elf farewell and left.
