Adrift Without a Life Vest

Gwynevere let the woman take a couple of drinks and then sat the water skin off to the side, instead rummaging through her bag for a couple more supplies. She heard Mercury ask for her name to which the woman replied Anthea so at least she had a name for the stranded stranger. Glancing up to Mercury as he leaned closer to her, she nodded to his question. "Yes, I definitely want to get her back to the castle once she's stable. Artorias would never turn away someone in need." The Hallows was intended to be a place of refuge and healing after all and if this wasn't a case of that she didn't know what was. "Let me just get a splint on her leg and give her something for the pain and then we can try to move her." She pulled out the supplies and herbs she needed, wanting to move quickly so they could get her to somewhere warm as soon as possible.

She started with the herbs first so they would have more time to take effect, bringing them to Anthea's lips. "Just a bit of meadowsweet and ginseng to help with the pain give you a bit of energy," she explained. She knew Anthea was likely to start hurting more as the cold faded and she came more to her senses so whether she really needed the pain meds right now or not she would get them. Luckily Anthea took them without issue and once Gwynevere was sure she could keep them down she moved on to the leg, carefully stabilizing the portion of her leg between the knee and ankle with a bit of slightly pliable wood, and then wrapping it with bandages to keep the splint in place. It wasn't anything extraordinary, but it would keep the bone from getting shifted and fracturing further as they moved her to the castle if that was indeed the issue.

Gwyn looked to Mercury then with a nod. "Do you think you could carry her? If not we can keep her between us and help support her up to the castle." The sooner they could get her inside and into warmth the better so she didn't really want to wait for Artorias or one of the other knights to come out here to help. Luckily Anthea was on the smaller side and looked fairly thin so she wouldn't be that much of a burden to carry.
