"I don't want you to leave without me," she whispered. "What if you don't come back? Don't leave me alone. Please don't leave me alone," she begged. She didn't just mean him going to the trading post, but also him dying and leaving her alone.

"I will always come back to you. I promise. But...if you've really got your heart set on going with me. I suppose I can't stop you. But only if the nurses say you'll be fine to do so. Okay?" Troy said, protectively.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Malia beamed at him. "Okay," she agreed, sliding off the bed. She hugged Troy, and grabbed her things. "Let's go see the nurse, then."

[Light Bringer]

Troy smiled at Malia and hugged her back before gathering his own things. "Alright. Come on." He said, heading off.

Malia took Troy's hand and followed him out of the house. They met up with Madison and Lincoln, who was coming with them.

"We're going to be coming along to help, we've just got to head to the medic first. So get yourself and whoever's coming along ready." Troy said to Madison. "We'll leave in...say...an hour?" That would give everyone time to get ready if they weren't already.

They nodded, and Malia walked with Troy to the medical center. She sat down on the edge of a bed while a nurse came over to examine her.

[Light Bringer]

Troy stood and watched, making sure he was out of the way but could still hear what the nurse said. He wanted to be completely sure that Malia was fine.

"It looks like it's infected," the nurse said, frowning wen she examined Malia's wound. She rubbed disinfectant on her wound, and then wrapped it up. "You're going to need to keep putting this on everyday," she told her, giving her a tube of the ointment when Malia told her she was leaving with the group to the trading post.

[Light Bringer]

Troy was happy. The nurse didn't object to Malia going with them. That means she won't be in as much danger of getting sick from the infection when they went.
