Chapter 8
Triss jerked as he woke up
Looking down at his nearly bare chest
He saw white bandages around it
Pristine and without any signs of blood
He looked about the room
Expecting, no, hoping
To see a trace of his beloved queen
The one that worried so much about him
"How long have you been awake?"
A healer asked from the doorway
"Not very long" Triss replied
As the healer moved towards the nightstand
"Good" said a voice in the hallway
Triss' head turned towards the doorway
There, Wren was framed wearing a white dress
"I was getting tired of waiting"
Triss could tell that her wait
Had not been as calm as it seemed
He could tell that she had been crying
It just surprised him that he caused it
"I am sorry Milady"
Wren looked slightly anxious
Turning to the healer at her side
She asked if she could have some time alone with Triss
Triss looked away from the door
As he heard Wren move closer
He turned his attention back to her
When she sat on his bed
Triss watched Wren
As she moved her fingers
Carefully over his bandages
Checking them with a strange look on her face
When Triss realized what it meant
He slowly pulled her down into a hug
As she poorly tried
To disguise her weeping
