Powerful Gifts

Okay, serious writers block, I can't continue this story unless I get some serious help from all of my wonderful readers.
Murtagh's chamber several hours later
"I can't believe that he said that, I can't believe it." thought Murtagh to Thorn
"Umm, I wonder." replied Thorn sarcastically
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"You laughed at him, while he was trying to get better, after saving your lover from dying at the hands of a madman."
"Well, ya, but I have been at his side all the way." answered Murtagh, chagrined that his dragon didn't even agree with him.
"No you haven't, you showed up, maybe once a day, at most. Sometimes you wouldn't show up at all. You have been far to preoccupied with Violet to care about seeing me, or Eragon."
"That is not true!" yelled Murtagh mentally, before he realized that his dragon was right. Maybe Eragon had every right to be angry with him, maybe he was neglecting his brother. And Thorn. He hadn't gone to see his dragon in at least a week and a half, "Why are you always right?"
Murtagh broke the connection to think about what to do to make it up to both of them.
Eragon's room several hours later
"Saphira, was I wrong to be angry? I mean he has been here for me the entire time." questioned Eragon
"I truthfully don't know, you and Murtagh are very close, but he certainly could have come to visit you more often then he did. He has been forgetting Thorn as well." replied Saphira
"I guess, but he deserves to be with Violet."
"Yes, but at what cost. You risked your life to save this girl, and now he seems to be forgetting his duties, to everyone."
"I know, I just feel bad about yelling at him. I don't think that he needed that on top of everything that he is going through. Me and Thorn included."
"I am sure he is feeling the same way."
"What makes you think that?" inquired Eragon
"Thorn told me."
"You and Thorn seem to be getting close."
"Well, yes, but not in that way."
"Mmm."
"Eragon, stop thinking like that!"
"Fine."
Nausada's office
"Milady, Eragon wishes to speak to you." said a guard
"Alright, I assume that I have to go to him." Nausada replied annoyed
"Yes, he is still to weak to stand."
"Okay, I will go."
Nausada got up from the brown leather chair, and started for the door.
Eragon's room
Nausada knocked on the door.
"Come in." came the muffled reply of Eragon
Nausada opened the door, sending a loud squeak through the room, "We really have the grease that door." thought Nausada
"How are you feeling, Eragon?" asked Nausada, concerned to see him like this. "I wonder what this does to the moral of the Varden? He looks so frail. He must have lost 20 pounds in the past two weeks." she thought
"I am feeling better, but it could be another week before I am able to walk." Eragon replied
"I am sorry to hear that."
"What has happened to Galbatorix's spy, Milady?" asked Eragon
"He is locked in the dungeon wing, why?"
"I want to talk to him when I can."
"Is that all you had me come down here for, to tell me not to kill him yet." Asked Nausada
"No, I also think that you should march the army out of Surda now."
"Why? We can't leave without our rider." protested Nausada
"No, you and the army can march with Murtagh, and I will recover. I can catch up with you easily on Saphira, we shouldn't jeopardize the war for my sake. I will be fine, but you and the Varden have to go."
"I agree, but promise me that you will make it on time." said Nausada
"I can't promise anything, but I will try as hard as I can."
"Thank you."
Nausada left the room, leaving Eragon to speak with Saphira.
"Do you think I am doing the right thing?" asked Eragon
"I'm proud of you Eragon, I think that you did exactly the right thing." replied Saphira
"Thanks Saphira, that means a whole lot to me."
okay, this chapter was boring, but the next chapter will be a lot more interesting. R/R
