Quinn directed Shara towards the camp, and unburied the blankets and other supplies as quickly as possible. She stuffed them in her saddlebags and hopped back on Sahara, clucking for her to gallop. Anywhere.. just away from that wretched place. She only stopped her horse when it got dark enough she couldn't see... and Sage looked like he was going to faint. Quinn hopped off near a big fallen tree, the roots making a sort of cave. She helped Sage off, tenderly touching her neck really quick and flinching away as pain flared through it. Quinn then asked a bird to go fly back to the kingdom and tell them how many miles they traveled, and if their mother or father knew any of the, were gone. The bird flew off quickly, and Quinn laid out the blankets in the very small hollow. "We are safe... for the Time being." She murmured, feeling exhausted

Sage sort of just clung to Chaos, hoping he didn't fall off as they galloped about. He did wish he could be of use to Quinn...but he was just trying not to pass out. When Chaos stopped, he forced himself to sit up so Quinn could help him down. He leaned heavily on the girl as she helped him down into the sheltered place she'd found, and then he sort of just let himself collapse. The remaining energy he had he used by curling up into a tiny ball in the corner. His breathing was ragged, and he was still awfully pale, even after he passed out. He dimly heard the girl before he fell asleep, and the ground was cold and hard, but he couldn't do anything about that. He was on a lot of pain too, but he couldn't change that. At least his exhaustiom knocked him out...he couldn't feel the pain that way.

Quinn sighed as she looked at Sage's passed out firmly. She got some peppermint tea ready, hoping that would help when he woke up. Quinn laid beside him to warm him up And fell asleep quickly, exhaustion overtaking her senses

Sage slept for quite a while. Longer than usual, really, and the sun was high in the sky when he opened his eyes blearily. He was cold and stiff, but he felt just awful...feverish and sweaty, despite the coldness he felt. And his breathing hurt...well, everything hurt, but he noticed his breathing first.

Quinn sat up as Sage awoke. She was bleary eyed and looked like she had stayed awake all night. "Drink this.. it might help. Then we should probably try to go a little further.." she murmured, handing him peppermint tea. "Moving around will fix the cold and stiff.. peppermint tea will fix the feverish and sweaty.. and I can't do anything about the pain right now... except for some Barmy Root." Quinn was almost talking to herself. She darted off into the woods and came back a minute later with the root, putting it in the tea.

Sage sort of just stared at the girl while she talked, his brain trying to process what all she'd said. She left them, and he sort of just...curled up again, not willing to move. But then she came back, and held the drink up, so he reached for the cup and lapped out of it like a wolf so he could drink without sitting up. That seemed like too much work. He did feel better after drinking it, though he still definitely didn't feel very good. But he knew they had to move, so he'd force himself up and about.

Quinn helped Sage up, wishing Chaos knew what Sahara did. Quinn got hurt on her own so much she finally taught Sahara to lay down so she could get on easily. The girl helped Sage up, bouncing onto Sahara. Her breathing was slightly hoarse, and the wound around her neck was inflamed... probably getting infected.. but right now she was taking care of him. She cantered Sahara so Chaos would follow, knowing the canter was the easiest fast gait to sit. They cantered on for hours before Quinn stopped, knowing Sage would fall off if they went much longe

Sage got up onto Chaos eventually, the horse finally turning his head to nudge Sage up the rest of the way onto his back. He sort of just held on once they got moving, trying to stay in the present as much as he could. His vision was still swirly though, and his head hurt like hell. He was definitely grateful when the girl stopped, and he practically collapsed onto her when she went to help him off chaos. He wheezed out some form of an apology, though he wasn't sure show easily she could have understood him.

Quinn took almost the full weight of Sage as he fell off Chaos, muttering a "Oof " and setting him down gently. She was glad she was stronger than the average princess... or she would be squished. She sighed and went to get more peppermint tea with some Barmy root, stirring them into a warm cup of water and handing them to Sage. In the meantime, she tried to think up ways to get the shock collar off.

Sage leaned against a tree trunk shakily and closed his eyes once the girl set him down. He was certainly glad to be able to rest, though they did have to find shelter before it got dark. They could move more though, after they rested and ate maybe, before the end of the day. He took the drink gratefully when it was given to him....he didn't know what was in it, but it worked, and he did feel a bit better after sipping at it for a bit.
